The Princess Switch

The Princess Switch is a Netflix distributed romantic comedy starring Vanessa Hudgens. It’s the story of Stacy De Novo, an anal-retentive Chicago baker, who has been invited to compete in a world famous Christmas baking competition in the fictional country of Belgravia. During the trip she runs into the prince's fiancée, the Duchess of Montenaro, whom she looks exactly alike. In an effort to experience something different than their normal lives, they agree to a switch for 2 days.

The movie has a Parent Trap vibe to it. It is family friendly and fun. The theme of "life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans” was all about going outside your comfort zone, trying new things and opening yourself up to unexpected love. I thought they were all great and positive points placed throughout the movie.

Hudgens did a pretty good job in the lead roles as De Novo & the Duchess. Her English accent at times was a distraction but it wasn’t terrible. I also enjoyed seeing Nashville’s Sam Palladio in a new role as Prince Edward. They had good chemistry so it was easy to root for them.

Overall I thought that the move was cute and entertaining. Not something that will turn into a classic Christmas movie, nor something I’d see again, but not something I regretted seeing.
