Oh, and Mr Sheffield from The Nanny is Alex's dad in this movie, too.
#My secret identity dvd movie#
The movie does get points for being one of the few holiday romances with an actual non-white lead though. Kaitlyn Leeb had more sparks with the guy playing her brother.so, yeah, that was awkward. It's a shame it's squandered on a couple with zero chemistry. The hospital setting was unique (although again, not what we're here for) and the doctor/patient angle is fresh. My thoughts: I respected this movie for trying something different with the genre. That guy is Prince Alexander Cavalieri (Nick Hounslow) of an unspecified (but appropriately British-sounding) country, who has broken his leg and is being treated in the children's ward for, uh, privacy? The sick kids turn out to be great props for teaching Alex a thing or two and also making him seem super hot to Tasha. What it's about: Tasha (Kaitlyn Leeb) is a busy paediatrician whose world is turned upside down when a guy from her past shows up in her ward. And the setting of Generic Small Town USA wasn't my fave – I came for CASTLES, dammit! However, I was pretty excited when Mr Sheffield from The Nanny turned up as Alex's dad. They both looked kind of dead behind the eyes throughout the whole thing. See that beige wall they're standing in front of? Yeah, that about sums up their relationship. But that's about all this couple had going for them. My thoughts: So I liked the fact that Samantha and Alex's relationship was well-established and, unlike a lot of these movies, they didn't fall in love in a matter of days.
She thinks he's a lowly diplomat! But on a trip to her hometown for Christmas, Samantha learns the truth when an old classmate turns out to be a royal watcher and recognises Alex as Prince Alexander of Maldovia. But the twist is, Samantha (Alexis Knapp) and Alex (Callum Alexander) have been dating for a year, and she doesn't know he's a prince.
What it's about: Not to be confused with A Christmas Prince, this is about an ordinary blonde who lives in New York and falls in love with a handsome, British-sounding brunette prince. As it is, the stale romance makes for pretty uncomfortable viewing. If the movie focused more on Lily, Allison and Charles' illegitimate daughter, it probably would have been a lot more entertaining (like What a Girl Wants, but Christmas!). I'd compare them to two blocks of wood, but at least when you rub sticks together you get a spark. Meanwhile, the acting is distractingly awful, and bless Tara Reid, but she has zero chemistry with old mate Ingo (who you might recognise from General Hospital and The Bold and the Beautiful). For one, it's set in Hollywood, and both the royalty and Christmassy vibes you come to these movies for are dialled way down (and super tacky when they do appear – I'm talking obviously plastic crowns, folks). But there's a very, very fine line between so-bad-it's-good and just plain bad, and unfortunately this one falls heavily on the latter side. Secret identities! Secret bastards! Tara Reid! It should be a lot of fun. My thoughts: You guys, this movie has so much. Meanwhile, Allison has secrets of her own – like the child (Haley Pullos) she conceived with Charles the night before he abandoned her 17 years ago.
In his heart he still pines for his college sweetheart, Allison (Tara Reid), who didn't know he was royalty as he was studying in America under a fake identity. What it's about: King Charles (Ingo Rademacher) of Baltania's wife has died, but it's OK because he didn't love her that much anyway.
