At first Matt enjoys being chased by hysterical groupies and Bart enjoys hitting on the highschool girls, but of course both learn quickly that the other's life is quite different from what they'd expected. —Tom Zoerner <Tom.Zoerner@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

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?
