Description: Netflix has become well-known for producing lighthearted, yet predictable, romantic comedies that are easy to watch. This time, the streaming platform offers *The Royal Treatment*, a cheesy romantic comedy starring Laura Marano and Mena Massoud. The story follows Isabelle (Marano), a New York hairdresser, and Prince Thomas of Lavania (Massoud), who hires her after a mix-up leads him to her salon instead of a high-end one.
The film begins with a quintessential meet-cute: Prince Thomas accidentally contacts Isabelle’s salon, and their initial interaction sparks a connection. Isabelle’s bold personality and candid nature leave a lasting impression on the prince, who is engaged to be married but still requests her services for his upcoming wedding. As expected, the story unfolds with charm and humor, delivering the feel-good entertainment audiences crave.
*The Royal Treatment* became available on Netflix on January 20, 2022, at 12 a.m. Pacific Time (3 a.m. Eastern Time). The movie’s release aligns perfectly with the Valentine’s Day season, offering viewers a delightful romantic escape.
The film’s plot centers around Isabelle, who gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when she is mistakenly called to style Prince Thomas’s hair during his visit to New York City. What starts as a simple mix-up leads to an unexpected series of events, blending romance and comedy in true Netflix style.
While the movie may follow a familiar formula, it succeeds in providing the kind of light-hearted, entertaining experience that fans of the genre appreciate.
