Summary: From A 12 year old
Review: I have both read the book and seen the movie. They are totally different, but both really good. The movie is G, but if you've read the book, you know that it's basically PG-13. The movie is pretty predictable, but it's good. At times you find yourself zoning out, but the comedy and romance draws you back in. It's pretty much a movie for kids and families, as in, it probably wouldn't be a very good date movie or adult movie. I enjoyed it, but it's not the best movie Disney's ever come out with. All in all, it was a good movie and i would have to recommend it to anyone who wants a light-hearted, semi-funny movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Princess Diaries Stunk
Review: I think this movie was a real bummer, because the acting wasn't real; it was to fake.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Absolute Delight
Review: As an older male viewer, it may seem strange that I found this to be one of the most delightful films I have seen in years. Yes, it may be predictable, but most films are. You can guess from the opening how it will end, but what makes a film like this outstanding is the way the material is presented and the way it is acted. This film has everything right. It is funny with many laugh out loud lines, romantic and charming. The pace never drags. It is well worth the ticket price.

Julie Andrews has been one of my favorite performrs since she first appeared on Broadway when we both were in our teens.(We were born the same year.) She has always been remarkable in any role she has undertaken. In this film, she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, she is certainly regal as the queen of a country should be, and has that certain glint in her eye that makes you smile just looking at her. Even though she no longer is able to sing, she is still wonderful in a straight acting role. She alone makes this film worth seeing over and over.

However there is a wonderful new actress playing the Princess, Anne Hathaway. She really shows great talent in her switch from an awkward, frumpy wallflower klutz to a regal, dignified lady. Yes, this theme has been told in many other films and will be told in many still to come, but not a charmingly as in "Princess Diaries".

This film definitely proves that a G rated film can be delightfully entertaining for all age groups. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD so I can play and replay it at home and not be afraid to laugh out loud and might miss another great line.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Movie

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THe Book was better, but still a great movie
Review: Mia Thernopolis (Anne Hathaway) wants nothing more than to be invisable, and she's good at it. She spends her life in school as one of the "geeks." SHe's constantly made fun of by the snobs (inculding Lana played by Mandy Moore) and ignored by just much everyone esle (including her crush Josh played by Erik Von Detton). But one day she finds out that she's a princess. ANd since her father died, she is the only hier to the throne of Genovia. So now she's forced to take Princess lessons after school with her grandmother (Julie Andrews) and attending fancy dinners, while keeping the whole thing a secret. But somehow the whole world finds out. Will Mia being a Princess be the best or worse thing that evere happens to her.

THough this movie was far different than the book, and not as good. The Princess Diaries still was an amazing movie about finding confidence inside yourself and happiness. THough very few of the charecters actually look 15 the acting is impressive. Anne Hathaway is the best choice for Mia's role. If you love good stories with a little romance and comedy in there, go see this movie. You will not regret it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the books better
Review: I totally liked the movie but the book was 100% better. The movie left out a LOT of important stuff and added some stuff.The boook was much more enjoyable.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Julie is superb!
Review: A very predictable yet freshly funny movie enhanced by the acting of the entire cast. This movie made me laugh out loud more than most of the comedies this summer. Julie Andrews is superb and flawless, getting a chance to remind us of her wonderful comedic abilities. Anne Hathaway is worthy of the lead role and does not disappoint. It is nice to see a family movie without the bathroom humor so prevalent among movies today. Truly worthy of the label - 'For the Entire Family.' The screenplay isn't going to test your brain cells but the performances will make you laugh and put a smile on your face. This is a welcome additional to a pretty dismal movie-going summer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Charming, Funny, a Dream Movie!
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. I loved that there was no swears, or other bad stuff that just ruins the movie. It was fresh and fun, with a good message, and I really loved it. Most girls, including myself, have dreamed about being a princess, and this movie was very good at showing that being a princess is about more than tiaras and pretty gowns. Anne Hathaway's perfomance as Mia was wonderful. She made Mia very real, and someone I could really relate to. The only downside to this movie for me was Mia's "best friend" Lily. I found her really rude and loud. Overall though, I say: See this movie! You'll love it! Especially teen and pre-teen girls.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Sweet
Review: I was surprised by the film, because from the impression of the preview, I expected a light-hearted chick flick, but the movie turned out to be very moving and educational. And I think the presence of Julie Andrews, who is still pretty in her autumn days, was the cause of this result. The princess, Anne Hathaway, might have, to centain people's taste, overacted, but I thought she did a terrific job, and has a future as bright as her beauty. Anyway, I was overwhelmed by the big Screen, and would rather have seen it on video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I would rate this movie MUCH higher then a five, but I can't
Review: The first time I saw a preview for the movie, "The Princess Diaries", I did not really think I would like it, but I knew I would see it. But, now, after I have seen "The Princess Diaries", I think better of it. See, today I went to go see "The PRincess Diaries", and I loved it! I went with my mom, and by the end, she was crying!!! There are funny parts, sweet parts, sad parts, happy parts, and even parts that alot of people were saying, "you go, girl!" and stuff! Behind us were some 6 and 4 year olds, and in front of us, some EIGHTEEN year olds! In fact, even grown ups came to see this movie!!! "The Princess Diaries" is a movie for all different ages, and all different personalities. When my dad came to pick my mom and me up, my mom was crying, I was skipping with joy (:P), and we both started chatting. "Remember this?" "Yeah... but remember that?" "My favorite part was..." "Well, I liked..." We were talking all the way home, and then, when we got in the house, we were still chatting away! My brother came down and both me and my mom were saying things like "Not only are they pretty, they're funny! They are great actors, and you just NEED to see this movie!" "We're going to MAKE you see it!" So, as you can see, anyone who wants to go have some fun, go to the movies and see "The PRincess Diaries". Or, if you do not like movies, I recommend the book---"The Princess Diaries"! And, if you say "Well, but, I don't like that..." there will STILL be more things that you would definitely, I guarentee, like! The movie is meant for everybody. So, yeah, it's a Disney movie. But, it is the BEST Disney movie! This Disney movie is not for babies! Yeah, it IS G. But it is still hilarious! And, it has great scenery: it is set in San Fransisco!!! It has humor, romance, great scenery, and alot of other good things that would make anyone want to see this movie! And, it might SOUND like a girl's kind of movie, but it is not! All ages, man or woman, all personalities. It has some fun for everyone! (Sorry, that rhymed! :0P ) So, I'm telling you for the LAST time. You HAVE to see this movie!!! You definitely will not regret it. Okay? Good. Now go!!! Get in your car, and drive to the theater. Ask for "The Princess Diaries". Go, already! Do not wait! GO! THank you, and good night. (go see "the princess diaries", please!)
