The Royal Treatment

This movie is an example of how millions of dollars are spent on terrible projects. Movies are an escape art form not cringe down your throat. Netflix if you have a lot of money, why don't you donate it to the poor. Take your trash back.

Not sure why this movie was even made. Its a mix of several different fairytale movies and its not even charming.

Besides the direction & script, the acting is quite stale too.

Don't waste your time like I did.

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.

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.
