‘The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star’
Netflix’s Princess Switch franchise continues with the third installment, bizarrely subtitled Romancing the Star. Sure, there’s romance to be found in The Princess Switch 3. Of course there is! But what the title doesn’t tell you is that this is heist movie. The Vanessas Hudgens all embark on a caper that involves intrigue, laser beams, black turtlenecks, hacking into mainframes—the plot is so far removed from not only the previous two Princess Switch films, but from the entire concept of Christmas in general. And that’s why it is great. Just when you think The Princess Switch franchise is gonna zig, they zag—and then dip and twist and leap into an entirely new genre. Put this movie on and let it keep you guessing up until the very end.
