Summary: Light and Entertaining
Review: If you are looking for something to watch while relaxing, then this is the movie for you. It is a modern-day teenage Cinderella type of story, except that the transformation of teenager, Mia Thermopolis(Anne Hathaway) is done not by a fairy godmother, but by non other than Julie Andrews, who plays the part of Mia's grandmother, the Queen of Genovia. Hector Elizondo who plays the part of Joe, a bodyguard, helper and the driver of the limousine adds spice to the movie. As the story goes along, Mia was changed from being a bushy-haired, bespectacled, shy teenager to become a beautiful and graceful young woman ready to become the heir of the throne of Genovia. But will she really become a princes? Will she make that decision, always having to live in the limelight, being chased around by the media, having to follow protocol, make important decisions and being surrounded by 'false' friends??? Well, watch this movie and find out for yourself. It is interesting and hilarous yet serious at times when we see Mia having to grow into her role as a princess and also learning about who her real friends are.

Summary: Funny, hilarious, great, and FUNNY!!
Review: Amelia, or Mia, is an unpopular girl in school and she has bushy hair, and an rather unattractive face. She hates speeches and is just an average-sort-of girl. But her whole life changes as her long-lost grandmother comes to San Fransciso and invites her to tea. She then learns that her father is the prince of Genovia and realizes in shock that she is a princess! From then on, she takes princess lessons, and is made to look like a princess and becomes really pretty. But being a princess and keeping that secret is hard and you'll follow her along as she goes to a fateful beach party, has a rather terrible fancy dinner with her grandmother(who is the Queen of Genovia) and with other prime ministers and royalty, and lots more interesting stuff!! She has to chose whether she becomes a princess or just be the average-sort-of girl who goes to Grove High School as the Genovia's Independence Day Ball arrives.Great movie and has lots of hilarious lines!! You can watch this movie over and over again. Anne Hathaway fits perfectly for the part of Mia and so does Julie Andrews for the Queen-grandmother! You have to watch this movie and I know you'll enjoy it!

Summary: Cinderella in the Age of Soy Nuts
Review: What a fun movie! And definitely not just for the pre-teen set. This film is for princesses of all ages. The casting, overall, is top-notch. Anne Hathaway is a fabulous choice for the role of Mia--truly believable as both ugly duckling and swan. And Julie Andrews is great as the royal granny with an agenda. The only disappointment is the usually-fantastic Heather Matarazzo, who seems to be overacting a little bit here. This movie shines when Mia is away from school...some of the acting in the high school scenes is a little wooden. But Sandra Oh is a hoot as Principal Gupta.

Summary: Great movie, but doesn't compare to the books.
Review: I gave this movie five stars because it really is great, one of my favorite movies. However, I think the books upon which the film is based, by Meg Cabot are ten times better. If you loved the movie, you will adore the books.
(But, beware...Mia's grandmother is nothing like how Julie Andrews was in the film!)

Summary: A Good Time.
Review: Julie Andrews has returned as her winsome self in this film about a modern day Cinderella story. It sneaks up on you, though, and you are gradually captivated by this parable of goodness. There is such a good ensemble cast and supporting actors, and you are virtually cheering by the end of the movie. Highly recommended!!

Summary: Another Flop that Could Have Been
Review: Putting a great like Julie Andrews in this type of setting with almost anyone by her side would have been a instant no brainer for the writters and director. Unfortunately the writters took the day off and the director was also absent. Therefore you have the making of a wonderful story with no lines worth reading and no continuety in a plot. Sorry but this was another flop that had potential.

Summary: Sweet and funny but no classic
Review: Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway have a great grandmother-granddaughter chemistry, and Hector Elizando is always dependable and totally likeable. It's sweet and funny, total fluff, and a great movie for young girls who will really enjoy this. If it weren't for Julie Andrews I wouldn't have bothered to see this film. She's one classy broad! The handholding between Queen and Chauffeur was a little saccharin and a bit hard to swallow. Seems the best (funniest) scenes were in a very well-cut trailer.

Summary: Princess Cool
Review: This is a very funny movie. The Princess Diaries is the best movie ever. Much better than A Walk to Remember. There is Mandy Moore well she had her part for a little bit. After seeing Atlantis The Lost Empire, I wanted to see this movie a whole lot. The Princess Diaries is a movie you should watch for a little princess.
