Summary: Looks like a cool movie
Review: I think that the Princess Diaries looks good, but I can already tell it is nothing like the book. First of all, they have already made it that Mia's dad is dead, second, Mia lives in San Francisco, CA instead of Greenwich Village, NY. There are probably many more changes too.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Read the book!
Review: May I just say, the book is an absolute must-read. It made me laugh many, many times and I really felt for the main character. Lets hope the movie isn't a failure. I rate the movie 3 stars for the potential I think it has out of 5 stars. The book is 4 1/2 stars.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Princess Diaries,Youve got to be kidding
Review: First of all from all the comercials ive seen for this movie it is NOTHING like the book.This book is about a flat chested 14 year old who is flunking algebra and her mother starts dating her algebra teacher and her father is diagnosed with testical cancer and he cant have anymore children so HE tells mia that she is the crown princess of genovia not shenovia or chenovia.There is not a moment in this book at the beach and lana(mandy moore) does not sing at all and MIA doesnt dance with her crush at all during the story.and in the book mia detests her grandmother and she doesnt PLUCK her eyebrows she gets them WAXED,and she is NOT happy about being a princess and she doesnt go to a formal dinner or set someones suit on fire and break a class while saying a toast or trip any waiters. this book is not rated G it should be PG-13 because there are parts that arent appropiate for younger children so disney messed up a great story.So take my advice and read the book instead of watching the movie about a prissy girl who is popular and is NOT flat chested.

Summary: THE PRINCESS DIARIES.
Review: I saw the previews for THE PRINCESS DIARIES and it looks really good. This film is about a young teenage girl named Mia (Anne Hathaway) who is a total klutz! Then she meets her grandmother (Julie Andrews), who tells her she is really a princess. Mia then has to learn to behave and act like a princess. It looks pretty funny. The cast also includes singer Mandy Moore and cutie actor Erik von Detten, who plays the boyfriend of Mandy Moore's character (Mandy Moore plays the "bad girl"), and the crush of Mia, I guess. Anyways, THE PRINCESS DIARIES looks really great (but then again, what movie WOULDN'T look good with Julie Andrews and Erik von Detten?). If you like teen flicks, definitely see this one. Surperb!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Anne Hathaway looks as beautiful as other Disney Princesses!
Review:
This movie was just as dreamlike and beautiful as Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. When I saw Mia Thermopolis in the first scene, with curly hair and glasses, I knew they were trying to make her seem like an unattractive, unimpressive girl with no looks. But it really was hard to believe so! Even with those heavy glasses and thick hair she looked pretty! Julie Andrews as Queen Clarisse fitted the role like a key in a lock. Mia's relationship with her mother and her reactions to the biggest and most unexpected information about her own life were totally realistic. Her neighbour, the man who wrote plays all day, was so so funny!! I liked Hector Elizondo in the movie too. Another person whose role completely suited him. And the ending was almost touching. Mia makes her decision, whether or not to accept the throne of Genovia, based on her father's letter to her! Another thing that makes the movie an amazing fairy tale is Mia's wish of popping her leg up while kissing! It reminds me of those Disney cartoons where they talk of the 'kiss of true love' solving all problems forever!
Princess Diaries is for anyone in the family even remotely interested in dreamy fairy tales and queens and beautiful princesses!! Can't wait to watch part 2!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An amazing fairy tale!
Review: The Princess Diaries:
This is a romantic comedy for the whole family. The main character is Mia Thermopolis a 15-year-old girl. She started as a student in high school and she was invisible to everyone except for her best friend and her brother until she became a beautiful girl that everyone wanted.
Mia found out she was a princess and she tried to keep this a secret. finally everyone knew that and then she became a popular girl.
In my opinion this film is amazing! I think that the actors are great and the plot is romantic and funny. I recommend it to everyone and I hope that you will love this film like I did.
