A Royal Makeover

Another Reel One Entertainment TV movie about minor European kingdom. I always have low expectations when they do it because they are mostly mediocre. This one actually positively suprised me, and it would be pretty solid TV movie if not for technical issues.

ROE co-produced it with Sunshine Films which is an instant red flag as they are notorious for the poor audio production, and yes, this one doesn't disappoint, too (obviously sarcasm). Several scenes suffer from the poor audio production like it was recorded with a cell phone, but it's the notorious loud background music when cast talk/speak which killed this TV movie for me. So many scenes are ruined as you can barely hear what they talk. It's just sad how they can't properly do audio production...

I like the cast overall. Never watched leads before. I would say that Veronica Long was pretty good.

This is the comedy movie first with some parody elements. If you expect romance, skip it as is a really stretched one. If you don't take it too much seriously, it's actually nicely directed and written around really royalty reveal trope. Act III is a bit of so-so, and cringe, but nothing breaking.

If only audio production was decent, I would easily give 6*.

And don't watch trailer (for some reason not posted here) as this is ROE, and for some reasons it reveals and spoils the whole movie.
