20 Worst Movies Of 2022

15. Royal Treatment

Pinocchio Disney
Netflix

You have to feel bad for Mena Massoud. He played the titular role in the billion dollar-making Aladdin remake and yet, the young actor failed to get a single audition for over a year.

And when he finally bagged another lead role, it was for... Royal Treatment. Look, if you want to watch a cheesy, lovey-dovey chick-flick about a prince looking for love, that's fine. You can find a million rom-coms like that on almost every streaming service.

But even if that's your cup of tea, it's best to avoid Royal Treatment. Firstly, it has the same story as Coming to America. If the plot tickles your fancy... just watch Coming to America, since it's better in every way. Despite the cast's best efforts, they're heavily limited by a stack of corny dialogue, unfunny jokes, and sitcom-like antics.

Even if you do enjoy all the candy-sweet schmaltz , you're guaranteed never to give Royal Treatment a second thought the moment it ends.
