The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star (2021)

Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating

A priceless relic is stolen from identical royals Queen Margaret and Princess Stacy, who enlist the help of their sketchy look-alike cousin Fiona Pembroke to retrieve it.

The Quartile Take

The third installment in the Princess Switch franchise offers nothing new — recycling the look-alike switching premise yet again with a now-familiar triple doppelgänger gimmick and a formulaic heist-lite plot. The story is thin and predictable, leaning heavily on holiday setting and romantic beats audiences have seen twice before. Acting is serviceable but unremarkable, with the cast going through well-worn motions. Cinematography benefits from festive European locations and competent holiday-film production values. The ending is tidy but unsurprising, wrapping everything up in a neat bow that satisfies only the most undemanding viewer. As a sequel it earns low novelty for being thoroughly derivative of its predecessors.
