Summary: Best movie of the Year - Hathaway is the next Julia Roberts
Review: This is no Cinderella type story, it is a great movie that shows a teenager in the middle of highschool going through difficult times. Then from being the school geek she is Princess of Genovia. The beautiful Anne Hathaway is the next Julia Roberts. With director Gary Marshall and actress/singer Julie Andrews playing alongside Hathaway I think this makes a great movie for both young kids, teenagers, and adults.
I'd rate it as 10 out of 10. And I hope to see a sequeal of the movie with the same actors.

Summary: WOW! A Step UP for Disney...DEFINETELY!!!
Review: This is a GREAT movie! The first time I saw this, I fell in love with it. This film is great for the whole family. It was really funny! Especially when Mia (Anne Hathaway) was transformed to a princess by her grandma (Julie Andrews). The actors were well picked. I LOVE this film!

Summary: THE BEST FAMILY MOVIE OF 2001
Review: This movie was the best movie of 2001! I saw it on August 3rd when it opened. My Mom and my brother loved it(my dad wanted to wait until it came out on video). So why did I give it 5 stars? It had an awesome story line! Regular Mia finding out she's a princess and you'll laugh and cry seeing her deal with the news. The movie has an awesome cast! (Anne Hathawy, Julie Andrews, Mandy Moore!) It was the perfect family film and you have to see it! :)

Summary: A delight for all ages.
Review: Why did most critics and viewers dislike this film so much? It was directed by Garry Marshall, who also directed the much-loved Pretty Woman, the film had a good cast, plot, some very funny moments and brings up one of the most original ideas for a film in ages. The movie also gets by without having any coarse language, violence or cheesy moments whatsoever. Okay, maybe some critics out there noticed the movie can be repetitive in places and some may find the story a little far-fetched, but I found this family comedy to be a delight. The movie stars Anne Hathaway as a nerdy girl at school who suddenly finds out she is princess of Genobia. This girl has curly hair, glasses and ugly shoes. So the transformation begins to turn this dork into a member of the royal family. And what a transformation it is! Anne Hathaway plays both sides of her role astoundingly and manages to bring up one of the most enjoyable performances by a young actor so far in the year. Julie Andrews is typically engaging, giving a really believable portrayal of a Queen whom must be someone who people look up to as well as trying to fit in grandmother-granddaughter time. The film's script is brilliantly original and has lots of great laughs, moments of intense family poignancy and each of the characters has something in them that we can all relate to. This movie has been labelled as 'a chick flick' but I think, I hope, boys and men will find something in this movie that they can appreciate, and I hope everyone can find the time to see this movie because it is truly fun to watch, even if at times it can sort of repeat the meaning it has just brought up a few shots ago. The movie has some great costumes and very good makeup for Anne Hathaway and as a whole, the movie is just really likeable and enjoyable, and I could not of wished for a better Midday watch.

Summary: PrincessDiaries-An Amazing fairy tale
Review: The princess diaries is an amazing movie. It is the fairy tale every young girl would like to happen to them. I would and have told many friends and family members to see this great movie. Julie Andrews makes for the perfect queen who is trying to understand a teenager. The young lady who plays the lead is the perfect blend of a clumsy yet endearing teen girl who, can't believe that she is actually a princess. The transformation she goes through as she learns how to be a lady and princess is so much fun. I can remember growing pains at that age and she shows them all. As she is turned into the princess she is suppose to be, you get into the joyride cheering for her, as she goes through each step. I loved this movie as much as my 15 year old daughter did and plan to buy it as soon as it hits the shelves.

Summary: Princess Diaries - Sound of Music meets Pretty Woman
Review: My 13yr old daughter and I have now seen the movie twice because it just the nicest movie. I love sound of music and she loves pretty women so what better movie to see than Princess Diaries. It has love, happiness, sadness and comedy all rolled into the best teen chick flick of the year. I'm sure all families will love this movie and love to have it in their collection for the days when you just want to watch a nice movie with nothing in it that even your 3yr old can't watch.

Summary: A cute little comady
Review: Although at times this movie seems a little too.... Disney, it is a good show. Among all the filth that is at the movies today, this movie is a great escape! It may not be one of the best movies ever made, but is by far one of the best of the year. Although this film is clearly aimed at children, parents and other adults will find it pleasing at times. Most teens would find this movie flat and boring, but for those that have the heart of a child, no matter their age will find Walt Disney's "The Princess Diaries", a pleasing family film.

Summary: An "every-girl's-dream" movie
Review: When this movie first was announced, I thought it would be lame. But, when I saw it, I was proved wrong! It is the story about a happy geek named Mia, who has dreams that she feels will only stay dreams. That is, until her grandmother comes to town and tells Mia that she is a princess! Mia is then thrust into a series of princess lessons and a full-fledged makeover. Once they are done, Mia is the beautiful girl she thought she would never be. Her best friend, Lily, is wild with excitment for Mia. Then, the dream of all dreams, Mia is the object of affection for Josh, the school hearthrob. While Mia is drooling over Josh, she does not realize that Micheal, Lily's brother and Mia's other best friend, is sweet on her. But, the big deceision, will Mia go to Genovia to reign or will she stay with the life she knows? It is a great movie with a killer soundtrack! But, a special note, if you think dreams don't come true, you should see if this movie changes your mind!

Summary: awsome!
Review: okay, i've seen alot of good movies but no matter how great there always seems to be a handfull of unessesary langwage spread throughout the film' you won't find tht in The princess Diaries' infact I didnt see anything inaproprate(unless you count the Lana/Josh make-out scene). All in all this is one of the best movies ever filmed,in my opinion anyway. If only we had more time to get to know the caracters like clarisse and Joseph.
