It's the princess and the pauper at Christmastime. That's basically all there is to it. It's been done a million times before, but it was still fun. If you can get past Vanessa Hudgens' attempt at a British accent, you can enjoy this movie for what it is.

I can't even remember how many times I eyerolled throughout this movie. But I can also not lie that I still quite enjoyed it.

I've seen a lot of cheesy Christmas movies, but this one was by far the most predictable. Every single thing went exactly as I expected it to go. But oh well, sometimes movies don't have to have some kind of deep message. Movies exist to enjoy people anyways, and that's what this movie does for probably a lot of teen girls.

I would only recommend this movie to girls aged 12-16 maybe. For the rest of the world it's just too much and a waste of time (unless you don't know what to watch on Netflix and go watch some cheesy movies like I did).

Definitely cheesy beyond belief but was the cute movie I wanted.

If you want to just sit down, relax and watch a cute, fun and happy movie like I did after 10 hours of work, it's a good movie. I like Vanessa Hudgens and she was great in this role. Of course, when it comes to these type of movies it's a bit cringe and the acting isn't the best to hope for, but like I said, it's a good movie if you just want to pass the time and make it worth your while.

It's just so fun watching multi talented Vanessa Hudgens act in the dual roles of baker and royal fiancée. There are some not so great moments and parts that could be better but who cares. Her exaggerated English accent is part of the charm. The trading places formula usually works. And her charm helps gloss over the more painful moments.

Sam Palladio of Nashville shows his native English accent for a change.

Some parts are lame but it's still ok.

An enjoyable and heartwarming holiday movie full of fluff and glitter. Sure the accent slips, and the costumes are clearly from your average department store, the plot is obvious and the whole thing is so saccharine that it's hard not to cringe. All that withstanding; it was fun, there were new takes on old tropes, the actors had chemistry and the bright and cheery everything made the movie fairly glow. Not my new favorite rom-com, but I'd watch it again.

Maybe it's predictable, maybe it's cheesy, maybe it's what has been done a dozen times before. But I still loved it. It's a great Christmas story and just wonderful for a Saturday afternoon. 10 of 10

Great Christmas movie, romantic but predictable. Still entertaining and worth watching.

A movie that belongs on the hallmark channel. As generic as can be without anything that'll offend.

The princess here is actually a Duchess and the pauper is a baker and they run into each other on Christmas while the later is preparing for a baking competition.

I feel like I read a studio exec. checklist just now... Well the rest of the movie actually goes like a checklist too. Girls meet, switch places, go through the motions of the Prince and the Pauper but with a princess diary peppered in as well as a Christmas miracle for good measures and true love because why not. Everyone is happy all the time and you can just play this in the background and miss nothing.

It's a piece of fluff so if that's your thing go ahead, just keep in mind that the first 15 minutes is a painfully awkward exposition that was both badly written and poorly acted. Get past that and you get to... every hallmark movie ever.

This movie is supposed to be cheesy! That's party of what makes it great. It was a great movie to sit down and watch with my daughter and give us the feel goods! If you know to expect a cheesy feel good movie, you will enjoy this. If for some reason, you think you are going to be watching an Oscar worthy movie, you will be disappointed. Set your expectations correctly for the movie you are watching and you will enjoy it!

Very cute, very cliché, as Christmas tales usually are, but with some very funny scenes, like the funny scene of the horse, slapstick and cliché, as all Christmas movies are, but adorable...

Harmless is a fair way to describe "The Princess Switch". It tells it's "Parent Trap" type story at a pretty good pace. Very little down time. Vanessa Hudgens is an appealing actress. The rest of the cast is fine as well but this is Hudgens' movie. She carries it well. My two daughters (20 and 16) liked it. My wife (age classified) also enjoyed it. It was okay. I'm sure I'll get stuck watching a couple of more times. That's fine.

It's very cheesy to the point where you want to hit someone!! Very bad movie.

I have no idea why, but I really enjoyed this more than I'd like to admit. The Princess Switch is, to no ones surprise, extremely cheesy and bad. But it's cheesy and bad in just the right way.

These are the types of movies that I'm usually really indifferent about. There's nothing wrong with them, nor is there anything to write home about. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, I found this one to be really charming. It made me laugh at things that I would usually roll my eyes at and more than kept me entertained for its entire runtime.

Sure, it's extremely predictable and offers nothing new to the genre, but so what. If a movie entertains you and makes you have fun for a couple of hours, then it's doing what it set out to do. And sure, Hudgens' Downtown Abbey accent is awful and sure, it's unapologetically stupid, but so what. If a movie manages to make you smile, then it has to be doing something right. And the The Princess Switch certainly made me smile.

There's really very little to say about a movie like this. I feel like a lot of people are really going to hate it and others are going to enjoy it. It's bad, but it's bad in just the right way. It's a Christmas rom-com, and it was both Christmasy and funny, what more can I really ask for.

It wasnt the best movie...it was very predictable (movie writers and studios should start getting fresh content, or look for a fresh spin on old ideas), but compared to some of the other boring christmas movies out there it wasnt that bad. It's definitely a good movie to watch with the family/kids.

Mark Twain did it, Shakespeare did it over and over again, now Netflix takes it over. An impossible premise. An improbable ending. But that is all known to audience before it begins, so, based on those expectations an audience gets exactly what was promised. Vanessa Hudgens is adorable. I always look forward to Sam Palladio. A good supporting cast. A lazy 1 hour and 41 minute watch on a snowy afternoon. I give it a 7 (sappy but lovable) out of 10. {Fantasy Romance}

I'll say straight off I actually dozed off at the hour mark and had to finish it when I woke back up so that probably tells you about the movie.

It is just the same story that has been told over and over again apart from it is full of uncomfortable moments caused by the swapping. It just fell flat for me.

This movie is also a huge mess. The use of stock footage is a disaster. The plane the set of on from Chicago is a every day plane but then when it arrived it was like a wooden plane?? It was just like "oh well it was cheap footage never mind". It wasn't even just that there was so much that I was like what?.

The whole movie just felt cheap. The parts where both Vanessa's were in the same shot were a disaster. The stand in was out of sync and looked different. I don't understand why you wouldn't put more effort in.

The acting and writing were also pretty poor but I get it, this type of movie isn't going for that. And like I get that they are cheap and stuff but this was just such a mess and felt really like the director was not invested in it at all

Lovely movie that will only leave you smiling at the end. Would love to listen to the songs after the movie. Fills me with Christmas joy. Well done all for a great feel good Christmas movie.

I delayed watching this movie on Netflix because I get enough of these from Hallmark mid-year and actually at Christmastime (starting late October for them). But I still enjoyed this movie. Vanessa Hudgens was pleasant and the two leading men were likable. Truly loved seeing my man from the tv show, Nashville (too bad couldn't hear his beautiful voice). Overall nice fun movie.

It was not predictable from second 1. i loved the switcharoo of the charcters and it was not confusing at all. i loved how the lip sync wasnt quite correct. all loved the use of green screen in like half of the scenes. i loved when i child actor really gets a lot of space if in a movie and how she really explains the plot in everything i say. makes it easier to me to understand this very simple film. i love how they pictures englishmen as stale douchbags and americans as the happiest persons on this planet. i love all the creative namnes of the places they visit. i really want to become a princess myself. thank you.

I loved it! It's really lovely to watch. Don't expect it to be a deep movie, but to me is entertaining, is enjoyable. I really don't care about clichés in it, or well, its predictible story, because still is a well done movie.

The thing I like about this movie was the happiness, and that's why is a great Christmas movie to watch with your love ones.

Be happy!

Loved watching it ..brings a smile to your face..scenes were predictable but loved the setting and style. Love watching Christmas themed movies..

Dreadfully cheesy cheesiness!

The acting is just awful and the English accent should be made illegal. No budget for a voice coach! The rest of the movie stinks, too. The script is dire. The loathesome, toothy characters all need a good slap to wipe away the relentless grinning. The story is as old as time itself and of all the 100,000 versions already made, this is easily the very worst.

If there is someone in your life this Christmas that you really hate, recommend this to them. They'll never bother you again!
