The Princess Switch Reviews

As romance and the festive season blooms, Stacy must master the curtsey and etiquette of the royal court, and Margaret must learn the art of the secret handshake. Oh the hijinks.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 14, 2024

A movie designed to be half-watched while decorating Christmas trees or scrolling through Instagram feeds, The Princess Switch is made half-watchable by Hudgens alone.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 18, 2022

It's actually kind of funny.

| Oct 4, 2021

The Princess Switch is not innovative or particularly creative, but Hudgens is charming enough to make me sit through the entire thing.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 7, 2021

For its many, many flaws, there is something quite charming and enjoyable about this botched attempt at a Christmas rom-com.

Do not expect it to be incisive in any aspect. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 25, 2019

Much like The Christmas Prince, the plot is no more than half-baked, but these "prince and pauper" stories are classics for a reason.

Exactly what the hopeless romantic ordered for their Christmas viewing this season. This is likely one that will be in heavy rotation throughout December.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Dec 9, 2018

It's a mess, but it's a jolly fun mess.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 3, 2018

The Princess Switch is a fun piece of nonsense to watch during the holidays when the classics feel tired.

Combines The Parent Trap with It Takes Two and Roman Holiday (and The Great British Baking Show?) to create even more mindless holiday viewing.

The Princess Switch is a delight. If you told me last year that I would thoroughly enjoy-nay, crave-another Parent Trap-like movie but starring Vanessa Hudgens,... I would have told you exactly what to do with your Christmas pastries.

Everyone in A Princess Switch does just fine: Hudgens has a lot of fun, particularly as Stacy (fake accent aside), Sagar and Palladio are charming in different ways, and they manage to bring the whole thing in for an appropriately silly ending.

| Nov 19, 2018

I find these twin-switch type movies fascinating when one actress is doing all of the work. I'm not saying Hudgens in a Netflix movie full of tropes is Emmy worthy, but it takes a lot of work.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 19, 2018

Put it this way: I wasn't always positive which character I was watching onscreen, but I always knew that whoever she was, I was rooting for her.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 16, 2018

The Princess Switch is sure to check all the boxes for anyone looking for a simple and sweet Christmas romance flick.
