The Princess Diaries

I love this movie! Great price and fun to watch with your kids. My daughter and I watch this movie at least once a month. Great buy and watch!

Love this sweet coming-of-age story wrapped in an urban teenager's discovery that she is the sole heir to the throne of a small kingdom. This movie deftly avoids all the tired tropes that have spun from that pitch. Instead, it delivers witty, realistic scenarios as Mia navigates high school angst we all went through of not fitting in as a young teen in general--then gets hit with a much bigger how-can-I-ever-fit-in scenario. Anne Hathaway as Mia was only 17 when this movie was filmed, and I can't imagine anyone playing this role but her. Ditto for Julie Andrews as her estranged royal relative. This is not only a must-watch movie but also an I'll-watch-it-again movie.

Watched this movie through the years and I guess I must like it because I keep coming back to watch it. Definitely a family movie.

Enjoyed seeing these actors. Cute movie.

This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's cute, uplifting & entertaining. I especially love the song "What Makes You Different" by the Backstreet Boys! Watch it!

Monde de princesse

The movie is good for different ages. Light comedy and great actresses.

This is certainly one of the most charming films I have seen in a while. It deals with the old fable of the girl who is told she is a princess and is going to be taken off into a magical land where she can be happy. The Princess Diaries takes this story and puts it into into a modern teenage context. Mia plays a dejected unpopular teenager who has no pride in herself or in her appearance, her friends are all a little bit off-the-wall and outspoken. She daydreams about the popular boy of the school dating her, etc, all the usual stuff that can be expected from somebody in her position. The film deals with the sudden and drastic changes that happen in her life, and how everyone around her reacts to what is happening. Her true friends think that she is selling out as her image is glamorised, people start wanting to be friends with her because of her position, and all the while Mia is still the same shy worrisome teenager beneath it all. The film carries a moral message - that its what's inside that counts, and that just because she was made a Princess it doesn't make her any more special than she was before. I think this film is hugely enjoyable, filled with moments that are really quite funny as well as moments that can be really quite touching. Wonderful stuff.

Very entertaining, very human and very simply....nice. Lovely entertainment for a relaxing evening, or rainy afternoon.
