    A nostalgia-fueled ride from my past
    I used to love this movie as a kid and I still really enjoy it today. Double Switch is fueled by a nostalgic 80s soundtrack and features fun performances, witty jokes, and an entertaining story. Yes, it's a bit cheesy in parts, but what do you expect from a Disney Sunday Movie adaptation of The Prince and the Pauper? I just wish it were easier to watch. Why isn't this streaming on Disney Plus?
