Prinzessinnentausch 3: Auf der Jagd nach dem Stern

Fans of the Princess Switch will no doubt enjoy this third installment of the Netflix movie series. All in all, it is a fun and entertaining movie, with a couple of heartfelt moments, sprinkled here and there. This Christmas, when the Star of Peace (a priceless Christmas relic on loan from the Church) is stolen, Queen Margaret and Princess Stacy enlist the help of Margaret's infamous cousin Fiona (all three played by Vanessa Hudgens) to help steal the Star back. Fiona in turn recruits her former friend Peter (played by Remy Hii), who owns a private security firm, to help the team in their Mission Impossible-like heist. Indeed, this one has a bit of a Mission Impossible and Entrapment (the one with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones) feel to it. The script, I thought, was well written, in line with the other movies in the Princess Switch series. The dialogue was amusing at times, with several funny one-liners by Fiona such as No worries, royal six-pack; How's my fave cuzzie-in-law; Am I late for brekkie; Don't you trust me Royal boo; Pay attention, Betty Crocker. The writers also developed a backstory for Fiona in this one, which comes full circle at the end with a couple of touching scenes between Fiona and her mother, and Fiona and Peter. I might even have shed a tear or two. And, of course, it would not be the Princess Switch without another switch this time around. What makes this all work on screen is the acting. Hudgens's performance, in her multiple roles, again was brilliant. And the performances of the supporting cast, the Princess Switch regulars, were also very good this time around. The film also had a great Christmas vibe to it, with a nice soundtrack to boot. I can't forget Fiona's outrageous getup and flashy style. There was even some sexy tango in this one. May I have a Candy cane Martini, please? They look yummy. Overall, though a bit silly at times, I found myself taken in by the film. This is an entertaining new edition to the Princess Switch series and Netflix's Christmas movie line-up this season. Fans will no doubt enjoy it.

It is the third film in 'The Princess Switch' series, featuring Vanessa Hudgens in triple role like it's prequel.

But herein, even Fiona shows her humane side.

It's not easy to skillfully play triple role in a movie while maintaining clear distinction between all the three roles, but Vanessa manages to do that.

In fact in some scenes, Margaret and Stacy are required to play Fiona and even that distinction is clear!

It's a happy movie with high dose of fashion.

The Princess Switch dramas are fun and heartwarming. In this third installment, Fiona Pembroke, Duchess Margaret's bad-ass relation takes center stage as she undertakes a heist to help her cousin. Her backstory explains why she turned out the way she did. With a prince charming waiting in the wings for her to grow up, and two doppelgangers she can count on standing by her side, Fiona's rise from the ashes is an entertaining watch.

The Princess Switch was a standard romance comedy that felt like a Hallmark movie

The Princess Switch 2: Switched Again wasn't needed, they added a villain involving kidnapping one of the characters and other stuff to build up drama.

The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star was interesting because the series went from a romance comedy to a christmas heist movie with drama.

I'm not going to judge Vanessa Hudgens for her performance of the 3 main characters, she is trying to make it watchable and entertaining.

The heist part of the movie where they are trying to steal back the star for the special ceremony was pretty interesting to see, also it had some scenes that worked but didn't really suck me in.

The drama between Fiona's old friend was a pointless side plot to connect with the main plot, but it was here probably because they were giving her a redemption after the 2nd movie.

This was just like the other 2 movies. It was standard but I will give credit for changing it up a bit with the same concept of the films.

I know funny comment, but over all good Christmas love story, very cheesy but it was cute. I honestly just got annoyed they were driving around in a convertible in the dead of winter.
