I loved this movie, great plot, story and acting. Sure there are some kinks, but I really did like it. The end left me beaming. I definitely recommend.

First of all, the set design in this film is spectacular. Every set makes you feel like you really are there with these characters. I also really liked the costume designs on them. It was an excellent choice for everybody and to show how the royalty has better-looking clothes compared to everybody else in the film. The acting in this film was marvellous. Nobody seemed like a character but a real human being. You can easily relate to either Stacy or Margaret in a way. For example, you either connect to Stacy because you are the type of person who plans out everything or Margaret who is spontaneous. I had no issues with the pacing at all in this film. Everything seemed to flow from one thing smoothly to the next. I think one of the only things that bugged me about this film was how everything happened like magic and was never explained.There was a character in this film that just kept appearing at the right moment and it was never explained. And two characters would stand underneath mistletoe that magically appeared out of nowhere. Also, it doesn’t seem realistic. Yes, I know this is a fictional film but they make the characters out to be stupid and not question why Stacy or Margaret is acting differently than usual. They show signs of questioning it but again like when things happen in this film they just shrug it off. Other movies who have done this kind of plot had a few characters shrug it off but not all. Also, I’m pretty sure who wrote this movie wrote A Christmas Prince there is a lot of similarities between the two princes. In the end, this movie is good for people who like RomComs or who don’t.

Smart and cute story somewhere in the UK actually filmed in Scotland and Romania. Cheesy dialogues but the plot works OK with lots of fun and some action Best of all of course is the terrific play of Vanessa in two roles

"The Princess Switch" é um filme adequado para ver durante a época natalícia. Não é uma comédia romântica, mas a história é interessante e foi explorada decentemente. Hudgens é fantástica. 6/10

This is a perfectly fine romantic film to watch around Christmas time. Is there really any comedy? Not really. Is it REALLY a Christmas film? It takes place around Christmas, but that's it. Is the acting the best? Can't say that, neither. BUT, I can't say I felt like I wasted my time after watching it. It's just a sweet, wholesome throwaway film to watch if you want a romance story with Christmas as a backdrop. It's mediocre, but it leans more towards the positive definition of that term.

Imagine an unnecessary rehash of the Parent Trap but with painfully predictable archetypes, and a stale plot and characters--- and also substantially more painful.
