The Princess Switch: Switched Again

Second time around the sequel has lost the comedic touch and fun the first movie had. It's still a decent Christmas movie and thanks to Netflix we have some to enjoy this Christmas.

This one had a different plot but overall acting was okay. just another ones of the christmas movies to watch. It was pretty funny some times but overall I preferred the first movie.

It's a christmas chick flick that is enjoyable. Vanessa played three different roles and was on screen 80-90 percent of the movie. Thats talent. Every christmas movie is not going to be a 10/10. They are written for generally a younger crowd to sit around with family and enjoy, or the couple wanting to get into the holiday spirits and watch a movie together in the evening over hot cocoa. If you thought you were going to get the new BIG MUST SEE every year christmas movie after knowing this is a sequel.... then i don't know what to tell you. I enjoyed it. It was predictable to a point. It wasn't all over the place or overly complicated. It had a lot going on but it made sense. And if i was able to follow the entire movie you probably should put your phone down and enjoy a "FUN" movie for what it is.

It's no Oscar winner, let's be clear....

But if you're after a cosy and predictable Christmas chick-flick curled up on the sofa with a mug of mulled wine, this is the film for you.

Fans of the Princess Switch will not be disappointed in this second instalment of the movie series. Though the story was predictable and the premise behind the 're-switch' made little sense, the movie kept me engaged thru-out. Plus, there was a bit of a twist to the 'switch' this time around. Vanessa Hudgens's performance, in her multiple roles, was excellent. And the performances of the supporting cast, such as Nick Sagar (as Kevin) and Sam Palladio (Edward), were strong. The dialogue was cute and funny at times; I laughed a bit with the use of new words such as 'couzy' (aka cousin). And I do like the Balkan theme for the names of the kingdoms. I was trying to come up with some myself during the film...maybe 'Croatiannia' (for Croatia) or 'Ljubljanaro' (for Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia). The scenery, props and sets were beautiful. Well done. Overall, though a bit silly at times, I found myself taken in by this movie. It is a cute, funny, and entertaining film, a nice little edition to Netflix's original Christmas movies.
