Rating: Summary: Happy, Fun flick Review: One of the best reasons to view a movie is to have it take you on an emotional ride. This movie does a great job of making you feel good, with laughs, outright howls, and gentle touches on the heart strings. Another reason to view a movie is to be enlightened or to have your ideas about the world and being human expanded. This one doesn't go very far in those realms. The comedy and heart touching scenes are pretty basic fare-- embarrassing scenes, turnabout, and finally, fantasies fulfilled. It's a sweet story-- a good one for just relaxing, letting go and having fun. The story is a good one for all ages, though adults will have to be tolerant of loads of kiddies making noises. With a pretty weak collection of releases this summer of 2001, Princess Diaries is on of the better flicks. It delivers good feelings galore.
Rating: Summary: excelellent Movie Review: this is by far one of the best movies ever
Rating: Summary: Disappointing. Review: I read the book The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot, on which the story was based, before seeing the movie. If the film makers had stayed with the original novel, and made the rating a PG or PG-13, the movie would have been very good. I had been hoping to see the original novel on the big screen, and was disappointed when the film got too...Disney.
Rating: Summary: I love this movie! Review: I love this movie so much. I have already seen it 2 times. Julie Andrews gets a 5 star performance and Anne Hathaway is truly great too. It is like Cinderella meets Pretty Woman. This movie is such a great comedy. Whoever wrote the script deserves alot of credit. The make-up and outfits are really royalty like and I love the princess lessons. I hope that it comes out on video soon! Please Disney make a sequel and have Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway in it. They made the film worth while. I also loved the bodyguard. The actor who played him is truly fit for that part. I recomend this movie to anyone with the love for comedy, fairy tales, and true dreams!
Rating: Summary: A Great Film For All Ages Review: My applauds to Disney for producing a film without vulgarity and only one instance of using God's name in vain (which has become so overused in even the cleanest films). I've been to see this movie twice so far with family, and plan to go again with friends this week. I really found it to be a breath of fresh air and anyone who is young at heart will enjoy it. My 13-year old niece got more out of it than my 6 year old niece, but both really liked it. Another teen about the same age was talking on her cell phone *giggle* commenting that the movie was good to one of her friends. So, it seems to be a hit with that age group which is really great! I thought the acting was very good, particularly from Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway. It was thoroughly amusing and entertaining with a bit of romance thrown in. I also liked that Michael, the nice boy who is the major love interest, liked Mia, BEFORE she had the make-over job, which meant he liked her for what was inside. Michael's hair looked a cross between the Beatles and The Osmonds. Does this mean that the 60's-70's hair-do is back? (smile) Memories! :-)
Rating: Summary: One of the better Disneys.... Review: Coming from a company like Disney, which has churned out atrocities like Lion King II and Pocahontas II, this was like a breeze in July. The Princess Diaries is a remake of the story of a girl getting a makeover, but they deal with it in a cute way. First of all, the princess-to-be doesn't even want to be a princess! Also, she experiences real-life situations...getting her first car...arguing with her mom...pressure at school... I watched this movie with all of my cousins...so there was an age range of 5 year olds to 14 year olds...and then 3 moms, too. And everyone loved it. Is that a testimonial, or what? See the movie, and enjoy. I know I'll be the first one at the store when it comes out on DVD!
Rating: Summary: Perfect Princess Disney Film Review: The Princess Diaries is a delightful film without being too corny and having the right amount of laughes. I have one grudge against the film, but that will have to wait. A regular girl named Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) discovers that her long lost grandmother (Julie Andrews) is actually the queen of a distant European country called Genovia. This leads to events that are funny at times. Mia isn't exactly what you would call a princess at first. She gets an extensive makeover. Voila, a princess is made. They attend a state dinner, which ends up being the funniest scene in the movie. I don't want to tell the rest of the movie, but being a Disney made film, I think you'll know the results. Okay, the thing that holds a grudge of me against the film is the fact that Anne Hathaway would have been better off portraying an ugly girl as a princess. If the makeover had not been done, it would have made some hilarious events. Also, the moral would have come through "No matter how ugly you are, always bring out the best in you."
Rating: Summary: AN ABSOULUTLEY WONERFUL MOVIE!!!!! Review: I've seen it twice so far and plan on seeing it again, I loved this movie so much. All the actors were great and the story is charming and touching, funny too! I recommend everyone to out go and see The Princess Diaries!!!!!!!!! EXCEPT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK YOU'RE TOO OLD TO SEE IT. I will definetly have to get the books!!!!!! PRINCESS DIARIES I AWESOME!
Rating: Summary: I WANT TO BE A PRINCESS!! Review: Oh, this movie make you want to be a princess soooo much! The dresses, the ball, everything! This is such a good movie, and I'm buying it the minute it comes out. I am also a big fan of Erik Von Detten! Even though he's not very nice in the movie, he definitely adds appeal to it. I love the end when Mia is dancing with that guy, ooohhh my gosh. A really heart-melting moment! I love the dress she's wearing at the end, too, GORGEOUS! This movie has great music too, one example being Hanson, my very favorite band. They play it when she's in her bedroom looking at the mirror, so listen for it ;o) I definitely reccomend this movie!! So good!!
Rating: Summary: The Princess Diaries Review: This movie was fun and well-done. After reading the book, I thought the movie wouldn't be as well-done. But it was. Mia is an average girl, wanting to be more. But when she suddenly finds out she's a real life princess, it's quite a surprise and she's not so sure she wants to be one. She's goes through fame, popularity, and many more things that have you laughing along the way. It all ends up okay, of course, but all in all this is an enjoyable movie with great actors and a good sound track.
