Featured reviews
Mark Twain did it, Shakespeare did it over and over again, now Netflix takes it over. An impossible premise. An improbable ending. But that is all known to audience before it begins, so, based on those expectations an audience gets exactly what was promised. Vanessa Hudgens is adorable. I always look forward to Sam Palladio. A good supporting cast. A lazy 1 hour and 41 minute watch on a snowy afternoon. I give it a 7 (sappy but lovable) out of 10. {Fantasy Romance}
It's the princess and the pauper at Christmastime. That's basically all there is to it. It's been done a million times before, but it was still fun. If you can get past Vanessa Hudgens' attempt at a British accent, you can enjoy this movie for what it is.
Harmless is a fair way to describe "The Princess Switch". It tells it's "Parent Trap" type story at a pretty good pace. Very little down time. Vanessa Hudgens is an appealing actress. The rest of the cast is fine as well but this is Hudgens' movie. She carries it well. My two daughters (20 and 16) liked it. My wife (age classified) also enjoyed it. It was okay. I'm sure I'll get stuck watching a couple of more times. That's fine.
An enjoyable and heartwarming holiday movie full of fluff and glitter.
Sure the accent slips, and the costumes are clearly from your average department store, the plot is obvious and the whole thing is so saccharine that it's hard not to cringe. All that withstanding; it was fun, there were new takes on old tropes, the actors had chemistry and the bright and cheery everything made the movie fairly glow. Not my new favorite rom-com, but I'd watch it again.
