Royal Façade

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!

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!

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.
