The Royal Treatment

Didn't finish watching, it went from bad to worse. Stupid script, direction and acting. I can see why Netflixs stock took a dive, Everyone is looking for content, but the quality isn't the same. Nextflix has had some really good original films, but this isn't one of them. Rom-coms make royalty look like fairy tale characters instead of portraying them as real people.

Okay, not a masterpiece. VERY CLICHE, right off the bat-zero lead up. This screenplay was written with a 5yr old in mind. It's one of those cheesy Hallmark Prince movies but on a super low budget.

All that said, the acting wasn't bad. In fact, the actress who played Izzy was surprisingly good (in my untrained opinion). We have seen the actor of Prince Tommy in small roles here and there, most notably (in the US anyways) on 9-1-1: LoneStar. He played Marjan's fiancée.

Would I watch it again? No, I'm 40, not 5. Was it good for 2am when I couldn't sleep and wanted a feel-good-not-need-my-undying-attention-to-follow? Yes.

This is like a RomCom from the 1960's, aimed at 12 year-old girls. It's not that it was bad, it just was so predictable it isn't funny. Within five minutes, you know exactly what's going to happen. Absolutely no surprises. It was kind of cute, except for the overdone Brooklyn and Texas accents which got on my nerves. If you're looking for something sappy and cute for the family, you might enjoy this one.

I can't even fathom how people spent a minimum of 2 years in film school and thought something like this would be what people wanted to watch. The acting? What acting? I've seen children's plays with better acting than what was on show here. Every trope and cliche can be seen coming from a mile away. We could literally predict the movie from beginning to end. Lowkey though these kind of movies are downright hilarious becuase of how bad they are. I'm sure the producers just used a random plot generator on the internet and out popped this masterpiece. Poor, poor Mena. I'm sure they blackmailed him into featuring in this movie although with the effort he put into this performance, the money must've been alluring.

I mean, is a romcom so you cannot expect much of it.

The plot is totally predictable, the dialogs are weak, the side characters don't add too much to the story, everyone's missing deepness, the female protagonist wardrobe feels pretty limited.

Also, there're so many situations that feel so unrealistic, even for movies standards, and the end left a huge problem unresolved.

So, is probably a great movie for children and teenagers, you know, when you're in an age you don't question so often what's going on with movie's plots, or if you are extremely bored and want to turn off your brain a little, or simply cause you're really into cliche romcoms.
