Netflix just dropped another rom-com The Royal Treatment. Is it worth your time

Should You Watch The Royal Treatment on Netflix? Here&#8217;s What Critics and Fans Have to Say

The royalty and romance stories have been recent topics of interest on Netflix.
A great example that combines these two things is The Royal Treatment, starring
Laura Marano from The Perfect Date and Mena Massoud from Aladdin. The new
romantic-comedy Netflix film pairs a hairstylist and a royal prince.

The Royal Treatment is a project that brought together two of the best creators
in the industry. The film’s director is Rick Jacobson, whom we know from Xena:
Warrior Princess, Knightfall, Ash vs. Evil Dead, Spartacus, and Baywatch and the
writer is Holly Hester, whom we know for Last Man Standing, Sabrina the Teenage
Witch, and American Dad.



Now, that sounds like a treat for rom-com lovers, but is it worth your time?
Let’s see what critics and fans have to say.


WHAT’S THE PLOT OF THE ROYAL TREATMENT?

The Royal Treatment follows Isabella and Prince Thomas. Isabella runs her own
salon while Thomas run hos own country, Lavania. When the two meet, Thomas likes
Isabella’s candor and decides to make her the chief hairdresser for his wedding.
As the wedding preparations start, the Isabella and Thomas grow closer and
realize that taking control of their own destiny requires following their
hearts.

CRITIC REVIEWS AND FANS REACTION

The Royal Treatment is a feel-good film with a royal setting and has received
mixed reactions from the critics. The movie scored 25% from the critics on
Rotten Tomatoes [https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_royal_treatment]. However,
the audience score is at 59%. However, we can expect the audience score to be a
little higher in the next few days, as it is released just on January 20th,
2022. Here’s what the critics have to say about the rom-com:

Associated Press reviews
[https://apnews.com/article/film-reviews-entertainment-lifestyle-new-york-bronx-07e5cfb18795773272076f4412c3205a],
“Like a drug store chocolate bar, it just is. It might not be good for you, but
it’ll go down shockingly easy, give you a minor sugar high (and possible
headache), and disappear from your memory just as quickly, leaving you
defenseless for when the inevitable sequel comes along.“

The New York Times’ review
[https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/20/movies/the-royal-treatment-review.html]
read, “The movie comes across as a deliberately, almost defensively, inane
trifle; a cupcake whose icing reads, “Enjoy the tooth decay.””

Despite the harsh reviews, Decider
[https://decider.com/2022/01/20/the-royal-treatment-netflix-review/] gave a
thumbs up to streaming the film. According to their review, “The Royal Treatment
is a delightful surprise, armed with a sweet story and some charming
performances from its two young leads.”
