Critics Consensus

The Princess Switch offers a healthy dose of charming, light-hearted, twin-swap fun and is delightful viewing for any hopeless romantic.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Princess Switch is not innovative or particularly creative, but Hudgens is charming enough to make me sit through the entire thing.

BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER. MUST WATCH. And the reference to A Christmas Prince towards the end of the film was delightful for Netflix Christmas film enthusiasts.

This is my family’s favorite movie. There was no point during our first watch when we had any idea what would happen next. I can’t wait to watch the sequels. Keep up the good work, Vanessa.

I have watched this before and had completely adored it then, and I intentionally chose to give this a re-watch this. Though, now it's all the more cheesy for me, I love this cheesy. It's predictable, it's bad, it's cringey, it's try-hard, but oh my—it's still adorable and I would cozy up to it again and again. Vanessa is an absolute princess, literally.

Ending was a little predictable but very sweet! Totally recommend for Vanessa Hudgen fans. She does a great job in both ;) roles.
