The Princess Diaries (2001) is a cute, entertaining family oriented film that is perfect if you're looking for feel good Disney fare. They got many things right with this movie, a lot more was right then was wrong. The main thing that was just perfect was the casting. Anne Hathaway did a great job with her breakthrough starring role. She holds her own and has enough acting ability to make us care about her and her life. This includes her relationships, both romantic and family. And of course Julie Andrews is just perfect as the grandmother and Queen. She is a veteran actress that we all know from the sound of music and Mary Poppins, and she really proves she's still got what it takes. Mandy Moore is good as the high school b***h, and Heather Matarazzo is funny and delightful as ever in the best friend role. The writing is good, it brings out the movies heart and highlights the chemistry between the characters. It's great for a family viewing.... but I think that just about anyone can enjoy this film. 8/10 for The Princess Diaries.

I watched this movie when I was elementary school. It was almost 10 years ago. But sometimes even now, I want to watch that movie. Story is very simple Cinderella story and mixed modern America Sun Fransico. Main character goes to school,there is typical Adolescent cliques. She is not the top class of Adolescent cliques. She revealed she is princess, but she wants to hide that thing. The cause of that, may be there is related. She grew up as a princess. Then she forget an important thing. That is importance of friendship. She get in trouble because of forget that. I really learn many important thing in this movie.

This royal film's got it all: a princess, a queen, a classic Cinderella story, a ball, "cute boys", a quirky BFF... you name it, you got it! I'd say pretty much any female will find this movie a pleasure to watch, as it fulfills the childhood fantasy we've all craved in a humorous and tasteful way, and in the end leaves you satisfied and feeling good.The characters are all endearing and special in their own ways, from Mia's disgruntled neighbor, to the classic "mean girl", to her typical "backstreet boy" crush. I admit that sometimes it does become a little trite and cliché at times, what with the overdone stereotypes, but it keeps the viewer intrigued so it's not at all negative. It might even make you chuckle believe it or not! However this movie, like many other movies, is not for everyone; rather, this movie is better suited for tweens and teens. And when I say that, I am in NO WAY belittling it or putting it down, because to me 'Princess Diaries' is and always will be an enjoyable, funny, and at times childish film. (Not gonna lie--most guys will probably find no joy in watching it, but that fact does not a bad movie make.) I've seen this movie numerous times, and it seems I can never get tired of it. Cheesy? Yes, but in this case, the cheese works.

"The Princess Diaries" is titled "Pretty Princess" in Japan. Mia is a inconspicuous student, and lives in San Fransisco with divorced mother. One day, her estranged grand mother comes to visit her suddenly. The grand mother is queen of Genovia, and she tells that she wants Mia to be a princess, because father is a prince, but he died. Mia don't know that and she is shocked. She needs a professional makeover to be a princess, because she is a normal teen. She has princess lessons under the ground mother temporarily, but she must make a choice between life of San Fransiisco or the life of Genovia as a princess.Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews co-star in this movie. Their combination are very funny, and their relationship strengthen gradually, that is heart-warming. Moreover, Anne is so lovely! When she is dressed up, she is very prettily, this is a girl's dream! The plot is good, but little childish, because Mia is in love with a friend, but hardly development. This movie is a typical chick flicks movie, but kind of comedy, not romantic comedy, I think.
