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.

I like this film very much. It's my absolute favourite Christmas movie because I love the mix of Christmas and princesses.

Nice christmas movie to watch. But i wouldnt recommend for children, because shows one woman kissing more than just one guy at the same time, and this will not be a good example. But in general is good and fun.

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.

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.
