Absolument royal!

Just what I ordered light and fluffy. I'm on to it. Mwah! It was every thing I wanted it to be soft and fluffy like a fairy tale and filled my every need in this moment in time. It will fill your romantic need too. Watch it for yourself.

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.

Mena Massoud plays Aladdin once again... in reverse. Or should I say he plays a male version of Jasmine? Instead of playing a "street rat" trying to woo a princess, he's a real prince with an arranged marriage he doesn't want. He finds out he has nothing to fear outside his "palace" and enjoys life on the street with his incredibly blunt and hilarious hair stylist, that he falls for. This movie was surprisingly not that bad, though I don't think I would've watched if it weren't Valentines Day. Though it was a pleasant movie to giggle at at times, the story, screenplay and performances really just made this another Netflix head-scratcher to me.

A script that goes out of its way to touch as many cliches as possible, a supporting cast that seems to have a shared goal of extreme over-acting to highlight the two-dimensionality of their characters, and an overall execution without a coherent vision all conspire to make sure that the chemistry that actually exists between the two lead characters is completely drowned out.
