YAY for Bethany Joy Lenz !!!!
ReplyDeleteshe is soooooo great in her Christmas movies, so im really
looking forward to this movie too !
She certainly is, Katy Lynn! I also loved her in "Snowed-Inn Christmas" and "The Christmas Secret"! I'm sure we will love this one, too! :)
DeleteLooking forward to seeing this movie!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Another royal movie! :)
DeleteFrom these pictures, it looks like the one guy is the guy from A Royal Christmas, he was the advisor, friend and hopefully they ended up together to the queen. I am going to have to IMDB and see if it is him, but it looks like him. I like that guy, he was good in hat movie.
ReplyDeleteYes, Sabrina... that is actor Simon Dutton. He portrayed the butler (house manager), Victor, in "A Royal Christmas," and he portrays King Edward in "Royal Matchmaker"! Two royal movies, and yet, distinctly, two different roles!
DeleteI just loved when he taught Lacey royal etiquette and how to dance the waltz in "A Royal Christmas." Wonder if his character will be as likeable in "Royal Matchmaker"?
Loved the movie. This one has to be my favorite "royal" movie. I want a sequel. Great chemistry between Joy and Will!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Jill. I want a sequel. Would love to see a wedding and hopefully Hallmark will hear our pleas.
DeleteYes, it would be so fun to see a sequel to "Royal Matchmaker"!
DeleteThe great Kate Gleason, along with her assistant, Britney, would have the grand task of planning a royal wedding... and, perhaps, Britney, could find love this time around, with a little matchmaker help from Kate, of course!!!
This was a horrible movie. I normally love Hallmark movies but the main characters in this one aren't believable in their roles and have zero chemistry. Very disappointed that I stayed up to watch it. What a forgetable movie.
ReplyDeleteReally? I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy this one.
DeleteI thought it was witty and charming, but not everyone loves the same things.
Perhaps, you'll like the next one better.
when will it be available on dvd?
ReplyDeleteOh, I sure hope they put "Royal Matchmaker" on DVD! It was so fun to watch!
DeleteIf or when they do, I'll be sure to post here:
Hallmark Movies on DVD, from A to Z.
Joy Lenz was fabulous in this and Will Kemp was charming! To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the story line, but this is definitely one of the better Hallmark "royal" movie we've had for a long time. Joy Lenz is such a good actress and I want to see more of her in Hallmark!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, CH!!! I was truly swept away...Wonderful!!! :)
DeleteI have watched it everyday since it's premiere. Thank you Hallmark! Also, thank you for the beautiful castle and scenery. Please do a sequel.
DeleteThe moment where he kisses her hand . . . !
ReplyDeleteYes!!! That kiss on the hand was magic... that moment, that look!!! Awwwwweee....
DeleteI hope there’s any more royalty movies!!!
ReplyDeleteHalloween Masquerade like Cinderella & Cinderella
I hope they make more 4th of July movies lke they did A Kiss at Pine Lake & When Sparks Fly...
Yes, that would be wonderful! :)
Deletemaybe im just a fan of Bethany's & have cloudy vision, but this was the best ' royal ' themed hallmark movie ive ever seen. sequel please !!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved it, too, Katy Lynn! It's definitely one of the best royal movies!
DeleteI want a sequel, too!!! :)
I absolutely loved this movie! It was funny, charming and really had me on the edge of my seat. When he proposed--the way he did it was perfect. I really do wish they make a part 2 after the wedding maybe she has to help another royal.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you loved it, too, Latarsha! I also enjoyed it, immensely!
DeleteThank you so much for sharing! I think we are all in agreement... longing for a "Royal Matchmaker" part 2!!!
I wonder why Will Kemp looks so different in Royal Matchmaker & Step Up 2
ReplyDeleteI thought he looked pretty much the same. He looked more different in Reign with the curly hair. He is the most beautiful man that I have ever seen.
DeleteI agree 100%. He is the most beautiful man that I have ever seen.
DeleteI loved this movie! I also loved the pink gown Bethany wore to the ball. Where can I get this gown? It would be perfect to wear to my son’s wedding!
ReplyDeleteKate has 98.5% capatibilty index with Prince Sebastian
ReplyDeleteKate's perfect match with Sebastian because she's professional matchmaker
Prince Sebastian kissed Kate's hand & although she's in love with him so, does everybody know
Kate is a Queen of Heart
I want a sequel!!! i usually don´t like those royal movies, but i loved this one, the couple were perfect. Also, it was different, because, in another movie, he would act like a spoiled child when his father told about the matchmaker. This what i found different, because both were very mature and witty, i found.
ReplyDeleteLoved this movie; DVR'd it and watched again today. Anyone know what clothes designers they used. I just love her tops and blouses in this movie!
ReplyDeleteWas one of the filming locations for this movie in or around Fussen, Germany?
ReplyDeleteHello Becky! According to IMDB, "Royal Matchmaker" was filmed in Europe... in Romania, including Bucharest and Sinaia. These are also the locations shared by the actors while filming. The Hallmark movie, "Royal Hearts," was also filmed in or around the same locale.
DeleteThe castle, said to be used for filming, was the Peles Castle in Romania.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you hear any thing else.
This movie is one of the best hallmark movies. Acting very engaging
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! Bethany and Will brought so much to this sweet love story! :)
DeleteI really loved this movie!:) It is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the name of the opening song in Royal Matchmaker? Love this movie
