This is Reel One Entertainment Christmas 2023 season TV movie. It's much better than their movies from 2022 season, and with some changes, it could be above average. It's technically mostly ok. There are few minor bad cuts, I didn't like heavy makeup on Celeste Desjardins, and music score is all over the place - from classical to melancholic which is completely unappropriated for the story. Of course, there is mandatory fake ___location as was shot in Hamilton which is not an issue on surface as there was barely anything shot outside. The issue is a bit of overused NYC stock footage, but there are worse examples in Reel One catalogue. Regardless, it still should be cut down. However, NYC is very diverse, and yet in the movie everybody is white, except for the one Asian guy who shows for some 30 sec in the Act III. This is big omission.
Directing and cast are fine (excluding diversity). I watched Brett Donahue several times already, and he is fine - nothing extraordinary, but is neither bad. This is a second time I watched Celeste Desjardins, and she again played fashion designer. Too bad Celeste Bruno didn't have more screen time.
The official storyline which is copied straight from ROE site is not quite accurate. This movie is about easy amnesia trope. The main protagonist got easy amnesia conveniently just when she came in the front of Wilson's company. This is the only part of the story which is really streched out. I like how royalty from the middle of Europe speak American English and not stereotypically British one. I really like how personal and business relations between siblings Wilson and Maya were done. It's rare to see that on the screen two mature and respectable siblings who know what they are doing. Really top-notch, and the same applies for sisters princesses. The lame thing is again somehow forced Hallmark inspired Christmas' silliness but on the flip side, there is a kid in a movie so...
Overall, it's the worth watching movie. Skip teaser as it shows few major spoilers.
