Summary: Pleasant Matinee Confection to Divert Your Mind
Review: In the wake of the immediate days following the WTC/Pentagon disaster, Joyce and I needed to see something very light. This fit the bill very well. Ann Hathaway and Julie Andrews do very credible jobs as granddaughter and granddmother who finally meet when the girl becomes a teenager. Suddenly, the girl finds out her grandmother is a queen and she is a princess. Her grandmother wants to train her to become the next ruler of their small country. Hathaway is very funny as the klutzy granddaughter and you almost hate to see this odd duckling turned into a swan. This film also reminds me of those Disney movies with Hailey Mills decades ago. Absolutely everyone can watch this film as there is nothing in it to offend anyone. It was instantly forgettable but a pleasant afternoon's diversion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Movie!!
Review: The Pricess Diaries is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It's rating of "G" goes to show that great movies don't have to contain violence, swearing or sexual content. I have already seen this movie twice and would go again and again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: decent movie for young people
Review: Recently my co-leader of a local Grange and I, took 10 of our youngsters to see this movie. I was very impressed to find a movie such as this that I could enjoy with the youth. We need more clean, non violent movies such as this that the whole family can enjoy. I applaude the movie. Patty Swing. Lex. N. C.

Summary: A Review
Review: In this movie she is a geek but then she finds out that she is a princess and they give her a makeover everybody wants too hang out with her then. It is a very funny and cute movie and who ever sees it will like it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally hot!
Review: Erik Von Detton is the hottest gut on the face of the earth. The way his blond hair falls over his light blue eyes. Sigh! My favorite part of the movie was when he was frenching his girlfriend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Restored my faith in G-Rated movies.
Review: This movie restored my faith in G rated movies. It is very funny, and without any profanity (what can you expect from a Disney movie?).

I was the only guy in the theatre, surrounded by 10 year-old girls, and my friends loved giving me a hard time for seeing a "chick flick" but I'm not disappointed at all. Basically, Mia is a geek/dork who one day finds out she is a princess. She has to deal with makeovers (she is pretty hot AFTER the makeovers), the sudden fame, etc. It's funny to see how even after the makeovers and etiquette lessons she still acts like a geek.

It's very likely that I'll buy the video when it comes out. I don't know about the soundtrack - the music is fine, but nothing new.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most magical movie of the summer
Review: Wow I loved this movie. The charactors in this movie seem to be perfect for their parts. Anne Hathaway is simply brilient as Mia. And Julie Andrews is the best person to play the grandmother. Mandy Moore was so mean to poor Mia. She is still my favorite music artest though. I was so looking forward to seeing this movie. I'm glad I did because the story line kept the audience in suspence. Meaning that there were a bunch of surprises at every corner. My favorite scene was where they transformed Mia from a geek to a princess. She looked very beautiful after that. I would pay any price to go and see this movie again because I want to be enchanted once again with this story. People that were enchanted with this movie should see it again because well it' the best movie of the summer in my mind. It's also doing realy well in the box office. Trust me I've been checking. So Run out today and be enchanted with The Princess Diaries. You'll love it just like I did

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent - A Family "Must See" Movie!!
Review: My daughters and I absolutely loved this movie and plan to purchase it when it becomes available on DVD. What a breath of fresh air to go to a movie that was G rated. Thank you, Gary Marshall (director) for having the guts to do it! We are looking forward to more!!! Don't miss this one!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Until A Semi-Great Ending
Review: I liked this movie. I really did. Mia reminds me a lot of myself, a four-eyed nerd with crazy hair who just can't play any sport no matter how hard she tries and to whom the dream of meeting a boy is as far off as visiting Pluto. Some scenes were funny, though I wish Mia would've stayed the way she was in the beginning; she had it pretty good. My favoprite scene was the make-over... I love being able to cringe and hope the heroine will survive the torture treatment. But I couldn't help finding the ending rather cliche. Can't Disney make a movie that doesn't end with the beautiful princess enwrapped in a passionate embrace and kiss with her hero under a starlit sky? In short, I wish Mia hadn't chosen to be a princess.

P.S. This only strengthens my opinion that Disney can never have a heroine who isn't Miss America.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: As cute as a cat
Review: I thought I wasn't going to like this movie because it got such bad reviews, but I thought it was really sweet. Parts of it was cheesy and the actors weren't all that good at acting and it was very unbelievable- but I thought it was really cute!
