Royal Matchmaker is a 2018 TV Hallmark movie starring Will Kemp and Brittany Joy Lenz and tells the tale of a young woman named Kate(Lenz)who works as a matchmaker in New York. She gets word that a Prince named Sebastian(Kemp)is looking for a soulmate to marry and he has 4 weeks to find his true love. So Kate travels to the UK(I guess) and meets up with the prince. At first Kate doesn't like Seb at first as he comes across as cold and arrogant but when Kate gets a match for Seb with a woman named Petra,Kate ends up falling in love with him. But is it too late for Kate to say that she loves Seb despite the fact she is a matchmaker for Seb?
Overall this has a Cinderella vibe to it. I sorta knew from the get go what was going to happen as in most romantic films we have cold arrogant men falling for stubborn modern day women. To be quite frank I enjoyed this film. If you like Kate and Leopold or The Prince And Me. Then catch it out. Plus the guy that plays Seb was handsome. Bethany was actually good as the matchmaker who tries to set up Seb yet falls for him along the way.
Overall I am giving this a 7.
Enjoyable fluffy fairytale fun.

Every schmaltzy stereotype is there, and the movie ends exactly like you could predict by reading the title and watching the first 5 minutes.Terrible things must have happened to your brain for you to find any enjoyment in this feature.

As a devoted Hallmark movie viewer, I looked forward to this film with my usual optimism and delight. Who doesn't love a happy ending? This story was a notch more intelligent than some of the fluffier "working girl meets prince, they fall in love, happy ending" scenarios. The heroine is a hard-working, intelligent, striving young woman with a business of her own, goals to meet, and a serious approach to achieving them..There are none of the giggles, eyelash-fluttering, cliche behaviors in this determined young woman.Her match, the prince of a fictional European country, is also a notch above the cliches used in other Hallmark movies..He is intelligent, serious, mature, and , of course, unhappy..
That these two will eventually discover they are suited for one another goes without saying..and the story line is handled with a good script and excellent acting...However, here are this viewers small objections to a an most-perfect movie. Joy Lenz is an accomplished actress..Good for her, dropping her first name (Bethany) and making herself less 'cute' and more mature with 2 short names. She is well-known to Hallmark movie viewers...and always rewards us with a serious performance. However, in this film, it seems to this viewer that her physical appearance could have e been more seriously addressed. Her wardrobe was often in appropriate for the situation..lots of fluffy, bright-colored outfits, when a more businesslike demeanor should have been the goal.. Her hairdos were also messy, lots of stray, unkept looks..with one very mature, and quite appropriate hairdo being 'spoiled' by having a long tendril hanging down one side of her face. Her assistant had a much more appropriate wardrobe and hair styling..
The male leads were excellent. Will Kemp has elegant physical bearing..He is a trained ballet dancer and it is evident in the way he carries himelf. Simon Dutton, as the King is always reliably dignified and elegant. Although in a few scenes, his jacket and coat seem to be a bit tight and ill-fitting. This is a delightful film, good emotions, serious characters, and a highly-recommended pleasure.
