Ah, 'Royal Shadows,' because nothing says 'family-friendly romp' like World War II and racial prejudice. Michael Douglaze's portrayal of a Native American prince is about as convincing as my grandmother's claim to be a Wi-Fi expert, but let's suspend disbelief for the sake of cinema, shall we? James Coburnt-toast brings a certain je ne sais quoi to his role as a supernatural hunter, if that 'quoi' is a basket of overripe clichés. And Raisin Russhell, as the royal advisor with a PhD in Irony, delivers her lines with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Directed by Woody Ape, a name that promises either genius or madness, the film attempts to skate on thin ice over a pond of heavy themes, using the Zamboni of humor to smooth things out. The result? A well-meant narrative that pirouettes and occasionally faceplants in its own ambition. It's 'G' for 'Gee, that's a stretch,' but the movie somehow manages to entertain, in between the eye-rolls, of course. Perfect for those who enjoy a side of supernatural shenanigans with their moral lessons.
