The Royal Treatment

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.

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.

Hallmark has done these Prince romcoms to death. This one was ok, but could have been better. While the two leads were fine, why were so many of the secondary characters written as such big buffoons? Not the actors fault, but the writers and director could have elevated the whole production to something much better.$

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.

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.
