Charming

Charming is currently streaming in Australia on Stan, and in the US on Netflix, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. 280 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Demi Lovato sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Stan and see for yourself.

Charming is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Charming gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Three fairy tale princesses find themselves engaged to the same guy, Prince Charming. Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2018. What keeps Charming from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Charming. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Demi Lovato is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
