Predictable romantic comedy yet enjoyable

Warning: Spoilers
The Royal Treatment is a 2022 romantic comedy starring Laura Marano,Mena Massoud and Phoneix Connolly. A young hairdresser named Isabelle(Marano) is assigned to travel abroad to style a young prince's haircut named Thomas(Massoud) for his upcoming wedding to Lauren(Phoenix Connolly). However romance blossoms between Isabelle and Thomas. But will Thomas go through with the wedding or be with Isabelle?. Overall I enjoyed this film. The chemistry between Mena Massoud and Laura Marano was nice(they acted more like friends rather than lovers compare to Mena's chemistry with Naomi Scott in Aladdin). Speaking of Aladdin I couldn't think of Mena as Thomas only as Aladdin. Maybe it's cause I'm so used to seeing him as Aladdin from the 2019 live action film.

Laura sounded like she was imitating Fran Drescher from The Beautician And The Beast(another film this reminded me of).

If you enjoyed Coming To America then check it out. I hope Mena Massoud stars in more films soon as this was his first project in 3 years since Aladdin.
