Review: Good idea, falls a bit short

It is a great idea to use the legend of a princess on a pea to create an ad for a brand of mattresses, and the movie versions produced to promote the brand are quite amusing. The mother of the heroine is overpowering and interventionist, her behavior is quite fun to observe. There is a rose garden playing an important role. All these are good points.The dialogs between the male and female protagonists are not very credible. For instance at first encounter, the male is supposed to be cold and uninterested, he appears rude and very inpolite: it is not necessary to the story, it is just clumsy writing. Later on, he behaves like a seducer, but he is supposed to have a faithful nature. The evolution of the "princess" feelings is also clumsy: she should wonder about a variety of relationship problems, she is just worried that it will not last.Maybe I am too old to believe in the fine qualities of any gorgeous male that shows his six-pack abs. It is all lacking a little depth. Even for a teenager, a tiny amount of reality would do nicely.
