    Vanessa Hudgens makes this just worthwhile
    It's just so fun watching multi talented Vanessa Hudgens act in the dual roles of baker and royal fiancée. There are some not so great moments and parts that could be better but who cares. Her exaggerated English accent is part of the charm. The trading places formula usually works. And her charm helps gloss over the more painful moments.

    Sam Palladio of Nashville shows his native English accent for a change.

    Some parts are lame but it's still ok.
