Royal Façade

Royal Facade is a really fun story helmed by passionate crew and performed wonderfully by a talented cast. This indie film does a lot with a minimal budget and makes for a really fun watch with boundless heart.

Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" meets Aladdin.

There are one or two scenes where the camera shakes a bit and framing is occasionally a little off but it wears its heart on its sleeve and is a strong directorial, feature-length debut from writer, actor, director, Paul Cartwright.

I found myself laughing frequently and cheering on both protagonists; definitely well worth a watch and one I'll be adding to my library!

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.

Such a fun, amusing movie! It has all the key ingredients that make a good RomCom, with some unexpected twists in the plot as well. The characters are cleverly developed and really fun to watch. The rich girl, poor guy withholding their true identities plot line had a good spin on it that it kept me engaged and waiting to see what happened next. If you're looking for a good laugh, Royal Facade ticks the boxes as well. The characters develop and grow on screen with a lot of laughter for the audience along the way. I feel like they're relatable and I could see myself being friends with them as well. Just go watch Royal Facade, you'll love it!

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 went to see this movie with my extended family, expectations were fairly low. I'm not a big rom-com person, nor am I an Indy film person. I like standard mainstream stuff. But the wife said let's go, so I went.

I laughed a surprising amount! Some clever writing and upstart talent in the production squeezed a lot of juice out of the clearly modest budget. The plot is not deep or technical, but had enough fun in the characters and the situational comedy that things I would have nitpicked in a big budget production were happily overlooked.

I came away impressed; if more Hollywood types had the gumption of this type of film team, we'd have a much better entertainment landscape. Worth the watch.
