It introduces a third look-alike: the evil cousin Fiona (also Hudgens), who tries to sabotage the coronation but ends up in jail.Įnter the third Princess Switch. The second, Switched Again, ends in a wedding and a coronation, which is double as nice, but that’s neither here nor there. Stacy (Hudgens), a regular American girl on vacation, switches places with Duchess Margaret (also Hudgens). To catch you up quickly with the story so far: The first Princess Switch is a straightforward Prince and the Pauper re-creation, but make it Christmas. By which I mean it is a film where Vanessa Hudgens plays not one, not two, but three characters: a princess, a queen, and the queen’s identical-looking cousin. No, it is not one of your regular holiday films - it’s a daring display of excess, an act of defiance against the limits of Hollywood superstardom. I am here to tell you it is so much more. You may be under the illusion that The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star is just a movie.
