Slightly above average preteen movie. It has its funny moments, tho.

Just another great Disney classic revolved around the idea of happiness and fairy tale book endings as this follows a teenage girl living in San Francisco with her mother who one day gets the news from her estranged grandmother that she is the heir to the thrown in a small European country which throws her into a world wind of deciding to not accept it and continue to be the shy weird girl or embrace it. The casting is partly what makes this a classic with Andrews and Hathaway. The plot development is great and there are a lot of great ups and downs and the way each character is introduced makes it easy for the audience to fall in love. However, this movie doesn't blow you away, its just a cute good movie.

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

This feels like a trope, but I'm honestly not sure if "surprise, you're royal" is a trope. Making up a country for this also feels like a special sub-trope.

What I'm sure is a trope is the "She's All That" where you have a clumsy, homely girl More

Based on a novel of the same name, the premise of **The Princess Diaries** is certainly intriguing enough. A coming-of-age Cinderella story with a twist -- Cinderella is not the damsel in distress. She's comfortable in her own awkward shy teenager shell.

The film has all the ingredients of a More

It goes on for a bit too long, but 'The Princess Diaries' is just about a good film.

Anne Hathaway (Mia) is the star no doubt, she's the only character I'll likely remember from this 2001 production. Julie Andrews (Clarisse) is decent too, while Héctor Elizondo (Joe) is extremely likeab More
