What We Think

"The Royal Treatment" has a few modern touches and some lightweight virtue signaling, but overall, it's still largely an old-fashioned rom-com. Nothing egregiously woke here, Hollywood has done far more with far less subtlety.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "The Royal Treatment" features a diverse cast and some modern sensibilities, its core narrative remains focused on the classic fairytale romance. Identity markers don't overtake the characters' personalities or overshadow the love story, so the plot largely stays intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't aggressively undermine traditional family or romantic structures; it leans into the fantasy of royal marriage. However, it sprinkles in some contemporary attitudes and challenges to classic roles, but nothing too radical in comparison to today's standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t overtly mocked, but the film comfortably sits within a modern, urban mindset with limited debate about big topics. There's a little ideological blending, but most characters more or less agree with each other on major issues.
