The Princess Switch: Switched Again

 

The Princess Switch: Switched Again is a romantic comedy and sequel to the 2018 Netflix produced, The Princess Switch. It picks up two years after the original with the Duchess of Montenaro, Margaret Delacourt, preparing for her unexpected assentation to the throne; while also trying to confront past relationship issues. Her friend and doppelganger, now Princess Stacy De Novo Wyndham, attempts to come to her rescue when Margaret needs some time away, but a third look-alike, Margaret's cousin Lady Fiona, has a scheme in mind for herself which might undo everyone’s well curated plans. 

I thought that the story was predicable but still cute and enjoyable. The costumes were stylish and well suited for each character. The set decorations were extravagant but full of festivity.

The cast were fun to watch. I was very impressed with Vanessa Hudgens’ ability to take on an even bigger role than before. She managed to carry this movie quite well. She’s a great actress with an impressive amount of versatility.  I also liked that they brought back a majority of the original cast while also introducing some fresh faces.

Though not something I’d watch again; it was worth checking out once. The movie was light hearted and fun, bringing just the right amount of Christmas cheer. It was the perfect type of straight to video movie, just in time for the holiday season.
