Summary: I, for one, loved this film!
Review: THE PRINCESS DIARIES was one of the must-see Disney non-animated films of the summer. The cast is truly spectacular and superb! The casting directer did the right thing when hiring Julie Andrews to star in this film! THE PRINCESS DIARIES is about a young modern-day 15-year-old high school freshman named Mia (Anne Hathaway) who lives in Manhattan with her single mother. Mia calls herself a freak and basically all her other peers call her a freak, too. She is flat-chested, does poorly in alegebra, and one of the tallest girls in her school! Her hair is all frizzy, too and she wears glasses. Then, Mia has a surprise visit from her grandmother, who turns out to be the queen of a small rich country in Europe called Genovia, and her father is the prince. But since her father has cancer and can't have anymore kids, Mia is destined heir to the throne and now her grandmother must teach her how to act and behave and look like a real princess. Through all her "how-to-be-a-princess lessons", Mia gets the courage to stand up to her worst enemy, the pretty, popular, and snotty Lana (singer, Mandy Moore), and ends up stealing Lana's popular, handsome boyfriend, Josh (Erik von Detten), when he learns Mia is really a princess and when he sees how beautiful she became! Like I said before, the entire cast is absolutely superb. I've read the book which this film is based on also called THE PRINCESS DIARIES (copywrite, 2000), and it is written by Meg Colbot. Both the book and the film are excellent! The film follows the book pretty much. The 'G' rating of the film means that there is no violence, very mild-fowel language, no sexual sceens, and will not offend anybody. So basically everybody can see THE PRINCESS DIARIES. It is actually supposed to be a teen movie, but it is suitable for children and adults, as well. It is not your average teen movie because it has some twists and surprises...especially at the end! The storyline and plot are well-done, too. The film also has some very funny parts to it. The chemistry between the characters in the film is excellent, and THE PRINCESS DIARIES is just a really awesome film! I strongly recommend this DVD when it comes out.

Summary: A Movie For All
Review: I can't even begin to describe how much I loved "Princess Diaries." Everything about it was superb. Especially the acting.
Anne Hathaway stars as Mia Thermopolis, the San Francisco girl who's purpose in life is to remain invisible. And, when you see her at first, you might not wonder. Anne Hathaway does a delightful job of turning from the awkward, ugly girl to becoming a prettier, poised princess.
Julie Andrews's return to movies couldn't be stronger. She is so jolly as the wonderful Clarisse Renaldi. Her character is quirky and polite. A special light emanates from her every moment on screen.
Heather Matarazzo is one of the best as Lilly Moscovitz, Mia's best friend. She is a hilarious character. Heather Matarazzo does a wonderful job portraying the sassy Lilly, who "tells it like it is."
Mandy Moore is one of the very few singers who have turned out to be okay actresses. Her moment's on screen certainly won't be Oscar-nominated, but for a popular snotty cheerleader type, she's not bad. She's certainly believable as the leader of the preps.
Erik Von Detten does a pretty good job as a supporting character and ex-boyfriend.
Overall, I would give this movie 10 stars.

Summary: The Best Current Movie
Review: I saw this movie about a month ago and I can't wait to get it on video. It was the best movie that has come out in a long time! Anne Hathaway's performance as she changes from a geek to a poised princess is funny and touching, and I love Michael Moscovitz, he was the nicest boy character movies have had in a while. Heather Matarazzo was perfect as the eccentric Lily and who could be better than Julie Andrews for the role of Grandmere? The plot was predictable (especially the points with Lana and Josh) but was funny, sweet, and unforgettable jsut the same... it's also a lot of fun to imitate Mia when you're sitting on stolls for chemistry lab!

Summary: How could you NOT love this movie?!
Review: This movie is AWESOME! It is cute for the kids and really funny and life like for the teens (not to mention Robert Schwartzman). Even though I'm not into these cutesy movies, I've seen this one twice already and begged to get it for christmas. This is a movie I want to be able to watch whenever I want. Even though it's mostly to see Robert (Michael), the plot is great.

Summary: A Classic!
Review: In the tradition of great films like "The Parent Trap", "Freaky Friday", and "The Love Bug" comes the newest Disney live action feature destined to become a classic, "The Princess Diaries"!

This is a laugh-out-loud comedy. And Disney has a great eye for new talent in Ann Hathaway and Mandy Moore. Boys and Girls of all ages love "The Princess Diaries". Buy it today!

Summary: Great movie! A hit in Monstropolis!
Review: When a secret copy of The Princess Diaries found its way into Monstropolis, it quickly became the hit movie of the year. Filled with young kids, it's the scariest movie imaginable for monsters who find children to be the most frightening creatures in the world. Anne Hathaway is chilling in her portrayal of young Mia Thermopolis -- her perkiness, humor, and intelligence are enough to frighten even the strongest of monsters. Humans may find this movie charming, but monsters will be chilled to the bone! Highly recommended!
