Review of the sequel
I feel that this movie and sequel takes on a good variety of twists and turns. Making the viewers feel different emotions throughout the movies. In the first movie the shock and fun of watching how they first do their switch will always be entertaining. The awe connection between Stacy De Novo and Prince Edward even though Stacy knows she can’t fall for him. Having a great ending of the marriage of Stacy and Prince Edward. In the second movie there was a big turn in finding out that there is another twin. Both the second and third movies involved the three main characters perfectly. They all had a great amount of screen time, not having the feeling of where the other one was. The three characters had many twists coming their way when they didn’t see it coming. The fun of seeing the “evil twin” finding love will always have me laughing. I feel that three movies are enough and if they were to make a fourth, I wouldn’t know where the story line would go.
Vania Surentu, senior stated, “The Princess Switch sequel is a good sequel to watch when you enjoy rom coms and a long storyline.”
Even though I have watched this sequel more than five times. I will always feel the same joy as I did when I watched it the first time. If you are looking for a rom com to put you in a comforting jolly mood this Christmas this sequel is just for you.
