Crown for Christmas (2015 TV Movie)
5/10
Another schmaltzy Christmasy offering
28 November 2015
OK the young, widowed man tries to raise his rebellious daughter. He is distant and clueless about how to raise her and hires a Nanny. Actually several nannies, each dispatched in short time by the little terror of a daughter. Oh yes, there's the scheming second wife/Queen wannabe who tries to scare off the nanny.

Although it was entertaining, the idea has been done before in books (Jane Eyre anyone?), Broadway (Sound of Music) TV specials every year it seems, and movies (again, Sound of Music). It was obvious and it was predictable. The actors did their best with the scripts and it had its moments. As I said it was entertaining, but only as a variation on a theme.
