Laura Marano in The Royal Treatment:

Laura Marano and Mena Massoud star in a romantic comedy that tweaks a familiar formula but still feels inane. In “The Royal Treatment,” Izzy (Laura Marano), a New York hairdresser with major attitude, gets a happily-ever-after story that justifies itself by offering two tweaks to the familiar formula. First, the screenwriter Holly Hester swaps the fairy godmother for a smartphone — one that mistakenly directs the valet of a dimpled royal, Prince Thomas (Mena Massoud), to Izzy’s salon. Second, this candy-floss flick embraces today’s trend toward populism by having the girl initially reject the prince because his kingdom, a Euro-spritzed fantasyland called Lavania where folk-dancing peasants speak fluent English, has perpetrated human rights abuses.

Here, the prince — not his working-class crush — must be made over. This is because of ignominies including his ignorance of the number of gardeners on the royal estate (18, for the record) and his failure to question why his parents have betrothed him to the daughter of a Texas real estate tycoon. (Let’s just say that the reason is not good for the poorest Lavanians, who live in a gray warren called Über die Gleise, or “Over the Tracks.”)

Laura Marano Career:

Laura began her career at the age of five, working with the Stage Door Theatre in multiple productions. She has a host of commercials and television roles to her credit, including appearances in ‘Without a Trace’, ‘Joan of Arcadia’, ‘The Sarah Silverman Program’, ‘Children’s Hospital’, and ‘Ghost Whisperer.’ Laura’s major breakthrough was when she landed the role of Ally Dawson for the Disney Channel Series ‘Austin and Ally’, in 2011. The show had a successful run for four years which propelled Laura to international fame. On a more personal level, she says that ‘Austin and Ally’ also helped her overcome her insecurities about her singing, and helped her become more confident.

She also starred in the movies ‘A Sort of Homecoming’ and ‘Bad Hair Day’, as one of the lead characters. She was also one of the first five classmates in the show ‘Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?’ Although she began her career in the acting industry, singing has always been Laura’s first love. Her first single ‘Boombox’, released in 2016, ranked 27 on Billboard and scored over 42 million views on YouTube. Her second single ‘La La’ ranked 123 on iTunes, thereby giving her a solid start on the Disney kid to pop star transition route! The latest feather in her cap is the record deal with Big Machine Records, the hit label that has famous singers like Taylor Swift on its roster, where she is recording her debut album.
