Of course, a movie about Vanessa Hudgens switching places with also Vanessa Hudgens but with a questionable British accent on Netflix is going to have a few tiny plot holes. But a lot of things in Belgravia don\u2019t seem to make sense, and we have questions. Questions like:<\/p>\n
Like your typical millennial, Stacy De Novo is the owner of a successful small business in a major American metropolis. The first piece of contextual information about her bakery, Stacy\u2019s Sweets and Treats, is when a kindly old customer calls it \u201cthe best kept secret in Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stacy smiles, but implores the woman to spread the word. Obviously, a bakery being a secret is fun for customers, but not so fun when you\u2019re the owner of said bakery. Fine. Stacy\u2019s bakery being a little under the radar would make sense as a motivation for her to enter an international baking competition (plus, maybe it has a cash prize we never hear about).<\/p>\n
But the very next line in the film is Stacy\u2019s baking assistant Kevin, talking about finishing an order for the mayor\u2019s office. The mayor of Chicago! What kind of under-the-radar business is getting jobs from the mayor of Chicago!? And to make matters even more confusing, when Stacy arrives in Belgravia for the big baking competition, a reporter with an unplaceable accent places her on sight and wants to interview her because he says that she\u2019s the baker to beat. She has an international reputation already! So what gives with this \u201cbest kept secret\u201d nonsense?<\/p>\n
And to make matters even more confusing, Stacy is able to close her bakery for the holidays, which seems like it would be a major time for a baking business. If she already has orders from the MAYOR, you\u2019d think she has tons of other orders to fill. How is she able to just pick up and leave? This is a small business that she owns, not an hourly corporate job. Bad business strategy.<\/p>\n
Have you seen the movie Three Identical Strangers? The first question you ask when you meet someone who looks exactly like you is, \u201cWere you adopted?\u201d Or even take a cue from The Parent Trap, and ask when their birthday is! Stacy and Margaret don\u2019t even look like twins \u2014 they look identical. How are neither one of them freaking out? They\u2019re totally content with a half-baked explanation about a long-lost cousin? That\u2019s not how genetics work. I mean, they even have the same tattoo. They are either identical twins separated at birth, or they are part of a government cloning experiment.<\/p>\n
Either way, they should investigate further. Personally, I\u2019m wondering why they didn\u2019t dig into the adoption question more, seeing as that\u2019s a major plot point of A Christmas Prince, which Lady Margaret watches, and which we learn is Stacy\u2019s favorite movie.<\/p>\n[bs-quote quote=”Bad Boy Entertainment did not shoot anybody. I didn’t shoot anybody. ” style=”style-5″ align=”left” color=”#9f2121″ author_name=”Sean Combs” author_job=”American rapper” author_avatar=”http:\/\/demo.betterstudio.com\/publisher\/old-mag\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/466\/2019\/01\/quote.png”]\n
When Stacy is subbing in for Lady Margaret, her PDA with the prince (at least until they fall in love for real) is limited to a dry peck on the cheek, the type reserved for a relative at Thanksgiving you don\u2019t really care for \u2014 even when he visits his affianced in the evening in her room, while she\u2019s in her nightgown.<\/p>\n
Not even a kiss on the lips for the woman you\u2019re going to marry in a week? Even on The Bachelor, they get a night in the fantasy suite to find out if they\u2019re\u2026. compatible. You\u2019re telling me in the year 2018, a handsome prince is still a virgin? Not to shame anyone for their choices, but that\u2019s not something that anyone talks about or references, no one seems particularly religious, and it seems like only a full-on weirdo wouldn\u2019t kiss his fianc\u00e9e on the lips.<\/p>\n
The reason that Lady Margaret enlists Stacy to do a life-swap with her is that Margaret just wants one day to experience life as a normal girl. But\u2026 why can\u2019t she? A plot-point in the film is that Lady Margaret is extremely camera shy, and no one knows what she looks like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
