WARNING! SPOILER ALERT!
What we thought:
Hannah: I thought it was an amazing movie! Honestly, with Hamilton and the Secret Society Of Second Born Royals, Disney Plus is worth getting. My favorite part of the movie is when they are fighting on the roof and Sam jumps off. Mateo saves her by catching her with butterflies. It is such a funny and cool part. This movie gives a different perspective on princes and princesses. It gives them supernatural and heroic personalities and appearances.. I would rate this movie an 8/10.
Maddie: I think it was really good! It has a really good plot that is actually interesting! There are lots of surprises and you are always at the edge of your seat! All movies seem to be based around princesses and princes, but this is a really cool new view! It is a movie lots of different people can enjoy. The characters were really well planned. The set is amazing. Everything is awesome! I really recommend it and hope a sequel comes out! I would give it a 9/10.
Summary from the Disney Wiki:
In the kingdom of Illyria, second-born royal Sam argues against the monarchy with her friend Mike by performing rock music on the streets. Her older sister, Eleanor, is to replace their mother Catherine on the throne after the death of their father and uncle. While spending the night out with Mike at an underground concert, Sam suddenly begins to experience her senses become heightened. The next day, she is informed by Catherine that she is to take summer school to make up for missing her history test.
Sam attends summer school alongside eagerly friendly January, quiet and socially awkward Matteo, conceited and popular Tuma, and social networking and pompous Roxana. Their teacher is Professor James Morrow who reveals that they are not there to take summer school, but instead are to be trained to join the Secret Society of Second-Born Royals, a group of superpowered second borns dedicated to protecting the world.
James reveals that he has the ability to multiply himself and that Sam's mother Catherine is a member as well, shocking Sam. Sam discovers that her heightened senses are the result of her powers awakening. Roxana learns that she can turn invisible, Tuma has mental control, January can take other abilities temporarily, and Matteo can control bugs. As they hone their powers, they become closer and begin opening up to each other.
Meanwhile, a prisoner named Inmate 34, escapes and unleashes his telekinetic abilities. After a failed simulation results in Sam missing a gig with Mike, she hangs out with her new friends to cheer her up and prepare for the upcoming coronation. Mike catches Sam hanging out with January and believes that she has abandoned him. Afterwards, Inmate 34 attacks the group and Sam gives chase when he hears him call her "Snowflake", a name only her father called her.
A chase into the woods results in James getting severely injured, but January rescues Sam by taking Inmate 34's powers away. James is hospitalized and Sam demands to see Inmate 34 and discovers that he is actually Edmond, her uncle. He reveals that he killed his brother because he wanted to take down the monarchy. The rest of the Society agrees to be there for Sam at Eleanor's coronation. However, on that day, January is revealed to be in league with Edmond.
January takes Tuma's powers and releases him. She wants Edmond to kill her brother so that she can take the throne to her kingdom. Matteo manages to send a bee to warn Sam and she recruits Mike. Sam and Mike manage to take out January and regroup with the rest of the Society to stop Edmond who plans on using a device that will take out everyone with royal blood. The Society confronts him and fights him before trapping him in an experimental miniaturized chamber. The coronation happens with no one aware of these events. Sam, Matteo, Roxana, and Tuma are inducted into the Society as James recovers from his injuries. January has escaped and is now taunting the Society to come and find her. The movie ends as they leave by jet on their next mission.
