La Princesse de Chicago : En quête de l'étoile

A third Princess Switch movie was unexpected and felt unnecessary. By now, there is an obvious struggle to keep the whole "lookalikes switching places" scenario feeling fresh. This becomes apparent as this story takes too long to get interesting. I even felt the lookalike illusion beginning to break as the three Vanessa Hudgens characters started feeling more like the same person. This third movie focuses very much on the newer lookalike introduced in the previous movie. This character isn't as charming as the first two lookalikes but she gets a sweet little romance story as she learns how to deal with past hurt. It's nice when this story becomes sentimental because the humor was falling flat and the build up to the climax wasn't drawing me in. Perhaps a big problem here is that the main characters that we've enjoyed from the first two movies take a back seat in this one.

It is the third film in 'The Princess Switch' series, featuring Vanessa Hudgens in triple role like it's prequel.

But herein, even Fiona shows her humane side.

It's not easy to skillfully play triple role in a movie while maintaining clear distinction between all the three roles, but Vanessa manages to do that.

In fact in some scenes, Margaret and Stacy are required to play Fiona and even that distinction is clear!

It's a happy movie with high dose of fashion.

The Princess Switch dramas are fun and heartwarming. In this third installment, Fiona Pembroke, Duchess Margaret's bad-ass relation takes center stage as she undertakes a heist to help her cousin. Her backstory explains why she turned out the way she did. With a prince charming waiting in the wings for her to grow up, and two doppelgangers she can count on standing by her side, Fiona's rise from the ashes is an entertaining watch.

I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was funny, intriguing. I honestly though would have wanted to see the mystery had been 'bigger'. And hey - if we get a fourth maybe we can get a murder mystery :D.

Don't expect that you'll get a thoroughly well thought story out of any Christmas movie. So on that note, this is just another lighthearted movie from the Princess switch series. It's fun to watch and gets us right in the Christmas feelings.

Vanessa's acting is top notch. Playing three totally different characters exquisitely speaks volumes on her acting skills.

Another movie to watch with Christmas just around the corner. Corny but lovely. A must watch for all the Christmas lovers!
