Rating: Summary: I loved this movie its a fairy tale in the making! Review: I absolutely loved this movie through and through. It is one of the most enjoyable movies that I have seen in years. The cast was fantastic especially Anne and Julie! I would definitely go see this one again and again. The story is touching and its easy for you to relate with what the characters are going through. This movie proves that you can make a good film and not have to resort to violence or even bad language. The whole family can see it and not worry about what they are going to see. Go and see this film you won't be disappointed!

Rating: Summary: Wonderful Review: We were able to see this at the Sneak Preview. My 5 year old just loved it.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Mother-Daughter Movie Review: I saw this movie today with my 9 year old daughter, and she loved it! It was a heart warming, touching movie that almost every mom and daughter could relate to. Julie Andrews was perfect for the part, and Anne Hathaway was also simply wonderful. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun outing with their daughter.
Rating: Summary: Excellent film Review: A refreshing and entertaining film. Julie Andrews is like a breeze of fresh air.
Rating: Summary: Good movie for the Little Girl in all of us. Review: I went to see this movie during preview night and really enjoyed it. I found it funny and entertaining, it is the type of fairy tale movie that allows you to dream a little. It's Cinderella in today's world. Very funny. I must admit though that my male companion did not enjoy it as much as I did. It is definitely a "girl" movie. So my suggestion, is to make it a girl's night out and dream a little.
Rating: Summary: An entertaining movie!!! Review: Even though the movie is geared for the tweens, I still enjoyed the movie. It has quite a lot of funny moments. It is definitely a fairytale story, where a girl has to decide what to do about her life not just for herself. Although in the end she made the right decision, the movie didn't tackle on how she could have overcome her seemingly low self esteem and evolved into becoming a princess. Nevertheless, it is an entertaining movie and I don't mind watching it again.
Rating: Summary: the princess diaries Review: i think the princess diaries is a great movie. i love the actors who play in it, julie andrews, anne hataway, and erik von dentten. this movie shows that you can make your dreams come true, even when you least expect it. her dream might not have been to be a princess, but it still shows that you can go out there and live your dreams.
Rating: Summary: Family Fun for All--Princess Diaries Review: The Princess Diaries is a true delight for family members of all ages. It is rated G (really) thus you can take any age to see it without fear of being surprised by content that is more suitable for older persons. Don't let the rating, teenagers, keep you from seeing this film. It is humorous and every girl's fantasy. This is basically a story of a clumsy, awkward, adolescent girl, living with her bohemian artist mother, who discovers her paternal grandmother is a queen, her father was a prince, thus making her a princess and the only heir to the kingdom of Genovia. The girl, Mia, and her grandmother make a pact. She comes for 2 weeks of "training" in all the social graces, etc. befitting a ruler and then she can decide if this is the life she wishes to live or not. Her answer will be graciously accepted. This is not as straight forward and as simple a movie as it appears. There are a few little twists, turns and surprises on the way to the decision. There are also a few lessons on friendship and what is truly important in one's life. Our entire family (ages 8, 9, 17, 25, and 48) enjoyed this movie thoroughly. Although it will not win an Academy award, it is quite an entertaining, charming, modern fairy tale. Don't miss it. Anne Hathaway (Mia) is funny, quirky, and masters the lip curl quite well in this film. Her clumsiness seems natural and she certainly cleans up well. Her transition from ugly duckling to beautiful swan is reminiscent of the late Audrey Hepburn. Julie Andrews is perfect in her role as the Queen of Genovia bringing just the right amount of sophistication and warmth to the role. Her scenes with Hector Elizondo (Joe) show subtle senuality and the warm fuzziness and comfort of an old and trusted friend. You know there is another story there that isn't being told. Their dance scene together can make you forget Miss Andrews was a singer. (Kids--she was Mary Poppins!) If you wish to see Miss Andrews in her true glory watch her as "Maria" in the movie, The Sound of Music. Other cast members who round out the story and do a great job are Terry Wayne (Clark,the hairdresser), Heather Matarazzo (Lilly) as Mia's best friend, Robert Schwartzman (Michael) who is Lilly's brother, and Patrick Richwood as the neighbor/writer. Mr. Robutusen. Mandy Moore also makes her film debut as one of the "beautiful people" preps who is also part of a singing trio at school.
Rating: Summary: Garry Marshall Scores ..another delightful visual romp Review: A definate Mother Daughter film, you'll want to see it over and over again. Julie Andrews is delightful as Queen Rinaldi. Anne Hathaway wonderful as Mia, great timing and no doubt Garry Marshall's new 'Julia Roberts' find. Hector Elizondo as Joe. (It's good to play Shaft) Patrick Richwood (Pretty Womans elevator operator) as Mr. Robutuson the Neighbor..small role, but very funny. Karl Walter Lindenlaub's photography captures the beauty of San Francisco. All in all ..a really wonderful fun film, a must see. It's nice to leave a theater with a smile and a happy heart.
