The Princess Switch | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Linda Holmes NPR Everyone in A Princess Switch does just fine: Hudgens has a lot of fun, particularly as Stacy (fake accent aside), Sagar and Palladio are charming in different ways, and they manage to bring the whole thing in for an appropriately silly ending. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review The Princess Switch | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Constance Grady Vox Put it this way: I wasn't always positive which character I was watching onscreen, but I always knew that whoever she was, I was rooting for her. Rated: 3/5 Nov 16, 2018 Full Review The Princess Switch | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) As romance and the festive season blooms, Stacy must master the curtsey and etiquette of the royal court, and Margaret must learn the art of the secret handshake. Oh the hijinks. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review The Princess Switch | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel A movie designed to be half-watched while decorating Christmas trees or scrolling through Instagram feeds, The Princess Switch is made half-watchable by Hudgens alone. Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 18, 2022 Full Review The Princess Switch | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 It's actually kind of funny. Oct 4, 2021 Full Review The Princess Switch | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Natasha Alvar MovieBabble The Princess Switch is not innovative or particularly creative, but Hudgens is charming enough to make me sit through the entire thing.

Astrid K This Christmas movie is romantic, heartwarming, and makes you dream of becoming a real princess.Vanessa Hudgens' acting is convincing, and you're not distracted by her attempts at a British dialect. The film's love interests are both decent men, giving hope that there are actually men who aren't douchebags.All in all, the movie is definitely worth watching! And I'll probably watch it again next Christmas. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Andrea K I have watched this movie multiple times now, and it hits the spot every single time! It’s a movie filled with love, and Christmas spirit. Definitely a watch worthy! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Daniel K This has earned a stop on my must-see Christmas movie list every year. I look forward to seeing Stacy De Novo and Prince Edward chemistry every year. Easily have become one of my favorite couples. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Matty D The Princess Switch marks the beginning of the trend in Netflix romantic fair that is comedy-light and romantically heavy-handed. This one comes with a stellar Vanessa Hudgens in a dual leading role. Her male co-stars make charming romantic partners. The plot is silly overall and reminiscent of other films like The Parent Trap and The Princess Diaries. The characters are likable all around, so you end up rooting for them anyway. It’s a charming tale with a touch of whimsy and a warm little holiday film. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Bloom P The princess switch is The romantic and comedy perfect, is cool, beautiful and kindness is The move then we watched wen have a heart brooked and whith a friend. Its perfect cute and romantic i love so much, its one of my favorite movie Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review BoyofPlenty Double Vanessa Hudgens isn't something I knew could happen.Cliched for sure, but it's a warm film with its heart in the right place.Thy should've had a scene where the two guys meet and unknowingly talk about their Vanessa Hudgens variant, would've been peak comedy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
