I might have rated this at 7, but it's one of my wife's favorites, so that earns it an extra star. I don't tend to rate movies against other genres, but within their own. So my 10 in a Christmas romance doesn't mean I regard it in the same league as an excellent feature film, but against other films of its type. So in these Christmas romances, if I find something I like in a movie, it gets more than a 5, and progressively higher the more I find to recommend it.
The member who named their review with a nod to Roman Holiday amused me. This story isn't really close, but there is a tiny connection in theme, as a princess gets bored and frustrated with her regimented schedule and goes walkabout in Manhattan.
This story puts the lead characters together for most of the movie, and that helps sell how they become closer to each other. The secondary plot about the reporter chasing the story of the "Runaway Princess" adds some tension.
The leads are both likeable and the story holds my interest, so I can recommend the film.
