This is one of the better Hallmark holiday season movies.
The cast is quite good. Danica McKellar plays a hotel maid. It's good she isn't too glamorously beautiful so she can be believable. After being fired she is hired as a governess for some minor European royal family. She wins over the bratty princess she has to govern and the King's heart as well. The supporting cast is quite good especially the British cast. Rupert Penry Jones who as in a good TV movie "39 Steps" is quite convincing as minor royalty. Doesn't look too fake royalty like some other similar Hallmark movies. The actress who plays the countess he is matched to is quite pretty and good too at acting jealous.
The Cinderella / Sound of Music combination story works quite well and the dance is quite romantic. The way things work out at the end romantically is quite logical without being too annoying.
Less annoying than the usual Hallmark Christmas movie. One they can replay next year.
