The Princess Switch | Blogmas Day 18

Hey Guys x

It's Blogmas day 18!

Our second visit to Vanessa Hudgens this Blogmas! This time it comes in the form of 'The Princess Switch', which I had heard of but knew nothing about until I actually sat down to watch it.

When Duchess Margaret Delacourt (Vanessa Hudgens) meets Stacy DeNovo (Vanessa Hudgens) and sees how alike they look, she has a brilliant idea - they should switch places over the Christmas holidays. But when they spend time as each other, the discover exactly what the other has been missing out on.

I loved this movie. It's serious a contender for Blogmas film of the year, I really really enjoyed it. And of course, that doesn't mean it's perfect, but who cares?

For a start, the premise of the film is so ridiculous that it's actually really entertaining. Like, it would never ever happen in real life, but it makes you want to know what happens next.

There was great chemistry between all four of the main characters - including the two Vanessa Hudgens characters. Her accent whilst playing the Duchess was insanely bad, and the half-arsed attempt to connect the girls was unnecessary, but apart from that, I really liked all the characters. Even though we don't know that much about them, they feel extremely relatable.

The ending was predictable, but you almost don't care because what happens is exactly what you want to happen, and it's so cute!

Margaret and Kevin Richards (Nick Sagar) are the cuter couple, as the character that Stacy falls for, Prince Edward (Sam Palladio) is a bit bland. But they're both likeable enough to get you invested in the story.

Overall, this feels like a great example of what Christmas movies should be, and it's on Netflix, so watch it!
