Genre: Christmas Romantic Comedy

Duration: 98 minutes

Two years on and Stacy is married to Edward and is the Princess of Belgravia and Margaret is getting ready to be crowned Queen of Montenaro. But as always there is a twist in the plot and the two must switch places to try give Margaret a chance to live the life of a commoner for a day.

In the original The Princess Switch we saw bakers Stacey and Kevin head to Belgravia to enter a baking competition that was being judged by Lady Margaret who ironically is her doppelganger, the two switch places so Margaret can live the life of a commoner for a day before she married Prince Edward. During the time they switch Stacey falls in love with Edward and Margaret falls in love with Kevin.
In the sequel to the original Stacey is now married to Princess Edward and living a great life however Kevin and Margaret have split up due to the fact that Margaret is about to become Queen. Stacey, Kevin, Edward and Kevin’s daughter Olivia travel to Montenero for the crowning ceremony. It is obvious there are still sparks flying between her and Kevin and the two dance together at the ball. This is interrupted by Margaret’s cousin Fiona’s entrance and she looks remarkably like Maragret aswell. Fiona has spent all her money and an idea has struck her and her two dopey aids. She wants to pose as Margaret, move up the crowing ceremony and steal a small fortune for herself before anyone notices the switch and then flee.
On the day of the kidnapping Fiona and her aids are unaware that Margaret and Stacey have switched places so that Margaret could spend some time with Kevin and see if they were still in love. Stacey in kidnapped and when Edward and Margaret realise they rush to save her.
In The Princess Switch: Switched Again we see the amazing actress Vanessa Hudgens take on a triple role as she plays Stacey, Margaret and Fiona. The film is set around Christmas much like the last one and it really gets you into that festive spirit. There are some really funny scenes in the film especially with Fiona’s aids one of which is played by Fatboy from Eastenders and with Christmas not so far away and being stuck in lockdown at the moment this will get you feeling all Christmassy and happy.
There are no good Bollywood films out at the moment but I am going to try and watch that animation film Bombay Rose for next week and see if it is any good.
