Royal Façade

A sweet romantic comedy that showcases the skill of its cinematographer/DP, in fact it's rare to find a film in this low budget rom com field that looks as good as this film does. The investment is clear on screen. The film is worth noting as well for casting an extremely diverse group of actors, an atypical choice in many similar Hallmark-style romantic comedies. Lead Isaac Akers was another key strength of this film. Charming, committed and with that spark in his performance and personality that makes a star. I see great things in his future. The film serves as a modern day take on the traditional prince and the pauper story, in this case with a celebrity and a small town chef, and the classic mistaken identities.

This is such a fun and silly romcom. I couldn't help but smile the whole time I was watching it. You can tell that everyone on screen (and off screen) were loving what they were doing while making this film.

The chemistry between all of the characters is very apparent; from the romance between the Princess Avali and Anderson to the undying friendship of Anderson and Todd to the family dynamic of the King and Queen and their daughter. All and all a stellar ensemble cast.

The direction (and acting) by writer director Paul Cartwright is clear and takes the movie in a wonderful and beautiful direction.

5 stars, 2 thumbs up, would recommend.

I just watched Royal Facade and absolutely loved it! This movie is such a cute and fun romantic comedy. The story really pulled me in, and the chemistry between the two lead actors, Weixin Le and Isaac Akers, is off the charts.

Weixin is so talented - not only is she a fantastic actress, but she's also a totally awesome stunt performer in real life. You can really see her action chops shine through in the film. And she has such great comedic timing and natural charisma.

The way the movie portrays the interracial relationship and friendship between the characters felt super genuine and organic. It's just a normal part of the story, not some big deal. Loved that.

Overall, Royal Facade is a really solid rom-com with great performances, an engaging plot, and a really sweet, natural vibe. If you're in the mood for an entertaining, feel-good movie, I'd highly recommend checking this one out. Thumbs way up!

Comedy, suspense, drama, mystery, and a little bit of romance!

Royal Facade is a family friendly comedy with a story that will keep you engaged. I found myself and my young children laughing throughout. At first it felt like something you'd find on Hallmark, but the storyline is more engaging than predictable.

A fairly good film clearly limited by budget. Frankly, I'd love to see what they could do without the limitations.

At the end of the day, this movie fulfilled its purpose by entertaining my family for movie night. Kid's loved it. My wife and I laughed. You might say it was a "Worth it, winner!" movie.

Recommended.

I smiled and laughed a lot. The characters are fun and lovable. The story is original and not quite what I expected. My son laughed the entire time. Loved the loved characters and the diverse actors. The locations were really nice. I loved the scene with the mountains at the end. The script was so clever and original. I'd love to see more films like this. I think the princess character was so lovely and grounded and relatable. I could relate to her in a personal level. That was refreshing. If you want a good laugh, you should definitely go see this movie. I'm looking forward to watching it again.
