The competitors celebrate at a club and Rafael asks Ruby to dance and she does. They let loose again and danced beautifully. 

They are still together dancing at the end of the movie and they become a family. I believe this is a great film and it deserves five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟.

A Christmas Princess

 

Jessica is a trained chef who is struggling to keep her new restaurant open. It's a cute place that has so much potential and life, but customers are absent from the details. Her dream is to be a successful chef in New York. However, she and her team are lacking the exposure it deserves.

Prince Jack and his parents are hosting a Christmas banquet in New York and a popular chef is booked for the prestigious event. Gideon Oliver has a few appetizers in mind for the banquet. Jack isn't impressed with his culinary ideas and wants the food to involve Christmas. The chef doesn't understand what he means and he's fired from representing the event. The chef pleads Jack to change his mind and the prince refuses to listen.

While Jack is driven in the city, he tells the driver to stop because he wants a news paper. They stop, he gets out of the car and smells something cooking inside Jessica's restaurant. He goes inside and enters the kitchen and asks Ernie whats he cooking. Jessica walks in and doesn't know who Jack is and tells him to go back to the dining hall. 

He orders the meatloaf and calls it loaf of meat. He also orders coffee while Jessica is still frustrated with her early meeting with the land lord telling her she only has one month to pay her rent. She offers the prince some cookies and placed the plate down loudly.

In the kitchen Jessica says to Ernie, "he has some nerve huh." Hailee says, "Do you know who that is?" And she said, "Prince John...From Edgemont. You know, he's in all the papers." Jessica doesn't believe he's a prince. Perhaps its because his body guard isn't with him. 

Prince John likes being called Jack and this is why he's called that name among friends and family.

The Prince enjoyed the meatloaf and asks Jessica several questions and question is amazing for a struggling chef. He asks her to be the chef for the royal crowns 👑 Christmas banquet. Jessica is impressed and doubtful. She tells him she'll think about it. He kisses her hand and walks out.

Hailee is impressed with the offer and laughs at Jessica. Her friends encourages her to take the offer, and that's what friends are for. Jessica goes home and tells her parents everything that happens and her mother knew who the prince was because she watches TMZ. 

The next day Jessica wakes up to the familiar sound of the prince talking. They're looking at photos of Jessica when she was younger. Jessica is embarrassed and asks the prince if he's bugging the phones too. 

He gives her a lot of money and says he trusts her. The money was the answer to Jessica's problems and she couldn't say no. Perhaps it was a good idea to think about it because her life will ever be the same.

The offer still stands and she agrees to cater the banquet. People found out and She's being called The Princess of Brooklyn. Imagine being stocked and the world chasing you because you"re friends with Jack. The Prince and Jessica leave town to get away from the paparazzi and tabloids. 

The queen of Edgemont isn't pleased with the news and admits Jessica is pretty. She is so concerned she calls in Lady Eliza, a potential wife for Jack. They all took a flight together and safely arive to New York City. 

The prince is warned concerning his mother. And Jessica and her parents arrive at the a private engagement with the prince and his parents. The meeting was cold and Jessica leaves early. She stays away for a little while and goes to her restaurant and discovers her friends and family in the kitchen cooking.

The banquet happens and the food is delicious. Jack introduces Jessica and all is well with a kiss at the end. People cheer and they're are happy.

My personal take on this movie is that it's cute and fun to watch. The Christmas Spirit is there. However, there's a lack of chemistry between Jack and Jessica. They seem more like friends than lovers. I guess this is how it's meant to be. This movie has a four star 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 rating from RMR.

How to French Kiss Inside a Movie Theater

 

Thinking about kissing your date at the movie theater and its been on your mind for a while. To kiss or not to kiss, has your mind racing for some time. So you didn't kiss on your first date and now you have the opportunity to try on this date, and make the desire possible.

How do you personally feel with showing your true feelings in public. Do you care about what people think. If you have confidence it will be easy on the lips to kiss. 

The best time to kiss is before the movie starts and the reason is because of the surroundings. If you need to kiss during the film, people will see from both sides and behind you. If you want the world to know you're in love, then kiss, if the one you love is OK with it.

If you have never kissed before, a cute peck on the cheek is perfectly fine. However, a kiss on the lips is easily done with a small, polite kiss. There are three kinds of kisses in the western world, and its a kiss on the cheeks, the lips, and a kiss openly in the mouth where the tongue is involved.

If you are asking how to kiss...A first time, gentle, kiss should be your choice. This works especially well if you are shy, and don't know what to do. First kisses can go wrong, and it can go well with a small, gentle kiss. 

Don't become overly sensitive about kissing her or him, developing a strong relationship is key to having a heartwarming 💕 kiss. The movie choice also matters when deciding to kiss and a scary movie can work if you have the stomach for it, and a romantic film can help a bit more when you kiss. 

There's nothing wrong with holding hands and you can enjoy their company throughout the movie. And there's plenty of opportunities to kiss at other times. A walk in the park or another time at the movies is fine.

The comforts of home and a good movie to watch is another great idea for a date. You can be yourself a bit more and you won't feel stressed over the idea of kissing. Perhaps it's OK to wait to kiss and if you are ready, develop that sweet confidence to kiss the person you love.

The Wedding Planner

 

Mary Fiore is a successful wedding planner and she's single. If only she was happily single, her story could have ended differently. Wedding planners always wonder how long a relationship lasts after the wedding is said and done. Also, wedding planners have to keep their booked with a number of soon to br married couples. Success is key for Mary's strength to ask her boss to make her a partner in their wedding, planning company. 

Mary lives alone, however she did have some relationships in her past. One where she almost married, and its a long story.

One day Mary receives new wealthy clients, Steve Edison and Francine 'Fran' D. Allis well after Francine and her parents meet at one of Mary's weddings. She booked Francine and her fiance as clients that day. However, Steve wasn't there.

The next day Mary crosses the street and accidentally gets her new Gucci shoe stuck in a hole on the road. A dumpster is going down the faster and suddenly this guy rescues her. He lands on top of her and faints.

Mary wakes up in a hospital filled with kids. She then thinks she's paralyzed and a kid said she wasn’t. This tall handsome guy comes in the room and he's the guy who rescued her. He just so happens to be a doctor.

The two of them go to the park and watch a movie. This doctor has a strange relationship with m&ms and they get closer while dancing. They almost kissed before it started to rain. 

So of course Mary thinks She's found Mr. Right, and at a Greek wedding she tells her assistant she met someone. 

It takes two to Tango and Mary meets Francine at a dancing class. Francine introduces her fiance to Mary and beyond surprised, it's the doctor...Dr. Steve Edison. He told Francine he hurt himself while helping an old lady. 

Well, Mary was a bit ticked off while they were encouraged by Francine to dance. Steve was completely caught off guard when he sees Mary again. The strange awkwardness to plan a wedding with a guy you think you're in love with.

So the story continues to move forward and Steve still decides to marry Fran. The next meeting they have is at a resort where many weddings took place. A strang problem happens when Mary's childhood friend Massimo shows up. He saidMary is his fiance in front of Steve and of course he thinks this is a double standard.

The guys go into the gym and Steve is trying to man up to him while running on the treadmill. Then Francine, Steve and her parents go on trail with horses. Mary's horse is startled by the noise and her horse runs off. Steve, again, rescues Mary.

The discussion is this, Steve still thinks he's in love with Fran. Another scene has them at another possible destination when something goes wrong with Steve's hand and a statue. Mary rescues Steve this time. Flowers have to be chosen and Mary sees someone familiar and crawls on the ground when she sees her ex-fiance.

Yup, she sees her ex Keith and his partner who is very pregnant by the way - Wendy. Mary introduces Steve and tells him their story. She starts drinking and goes home with Steve. It's a sad scene when Mary tells him the entire story finding Keith and Wendy together. Steve felt sorry for Mary and gave her a what if story. Mary says goodnight.

On the day that was to be their wedding Steve asks Francine why they should Mary. Fran had cold feet before and this time it was clear neither one of them wants to marry.

In secret, Mary tells her assistant to take over planning the wedding. Mary thinks selhe should marry Massimo and changed her mind. She goes to the park and watches a movie with another m&m problem. 

Steve shows up and without any of them being married they both kiss. 

I believe The Wedding Planner deserves five 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟  stars because it's funny and unique. The romance is there and so is the comedy. It also shows great dedication for wedding planning.

A Walk to Remember

 

They say true love comes after high school and this movie, A Walk to Remember, proves otherwise. This movie makes people remember all the crazy things they did as teenagers. Landon Carter finds himself in the mix with his popular friends. And another kid on the outside, who wants to be part of their crazy group, gives in to peer pressure and almost died..

Everything went wrong after that day, and Landon Carter's life will never be the same. When the principle of the school corrects a student and tells him how to avoid being expelled, one or two things can happen. And one is he could have refused and the second is he avoids more problems by agreeing to tutor a kid at the middle school, janitor work, and acts in the school play.

All of these changes pulls him away from his friends and sends him closer to Jamie Sullivan. Everywhere Landon goes...Jamie is there and the two practice their scripts together. 

It happened like this, Landon asks Jamie to practice their lines together and Jamie agreed telling him "you have to promise not to fall in love with me." Landon said that wouldn't be a problem.

Though they start getting closer as friends, Landon Carter cares more about what his friends think and after dissing Jamie, they no longer practice for the play. Landon practices his lines for the play and did well remembering them. 

The school play uncovered Landon's true feelings for Jamie and it happened when Jamie started to sing. Her gown, face, and hair was so different from her everyday clothes. In the end Landon kissed Jamie and two people who are close to them knew the kiss was real.

Landon's ex-girlfriend Belinda wasn't over Landon and tried getting him back. 

She failed rekindling their relationship, and that night, at the play she knew Landon was over her. The sad part about this love triangle is how cruel some teens can be. Jamie was hurt when they humiliated her in front of the entire school.

Landon was right to say it was because of him and losing his friendship was to blame. Then there's Jamie's father...She isn't allowed to date. Landon confronted this issue at church, to see her father.

This movie becomes more intense when Landon and Jamie acknowledge their love for each other. Their first date is so cute, especially when they are two places at once. And later on Landon discovers why she had all these plans. 

The stars seemed to sparkle more when they were together and though there were challenges, they still had a miracle come true.

Another issue Landon had was his father. There are some things some people can't forgive and Landon didn't know how much his father loved him until he helped his girlfriend.

It's amazing how Landon fell in love with Jamie and then received horrifying news about Jamie's condition. Then Landon did the only thing he knew to do and he chose to look to the heavens. The stars and a fast comet was a goal they both had and this was a true romantic seen. 

A Walk to Remember is a true romantic film I personally like to watch . It's a heartwarming 💕 story that helps people to count their blessings. I give this romantic film five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟.
