Princess Diaries

Pros: A beautiful, non-animated fairy-tale featuring the gorgeous Anne Hathaway.

Cons: Let's not nit pick at something so cute.

The Bottom Line: It's Cinderella without the mean step-sisters. It's Pretty Woman without the hooker features.

Review: True Confession #1. I always wanted to be a princess. Princesses were beautiful and loved and waited on. All of my Barbies got to be princesses so I thought it only fair that I could be one too.

True Confession #2. The sneak...

Pros: Entertaining story brought to life by great acting

Cons: None, really

The Bottom Line: This is a family movie the entire family will enjoy.

Review: I freely admit that I am hopelessly addicted to "kid" movies. Yes, they may be a bit formulaic, but they are often fun entertainment. So whenever a family movie preview comes across my path, I pay attention. And that's how this gem of a film crossed ...

Pros: all-around charming film

Cons: is high school really that bad??

The Bottom Line: Great acting, great writing, great story...Just plain great!

Review: Last Saturday, I went to the dollar theater and saw Joe Somebody, a less-than-mediocre movie about an average guy who nobody noticed suddenly becoming a somebody in the eyes of his colleagues. That evening, I watched The Princess Diaries,...

Pros: Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, and Hector Elizondo are all terrific.

Cons: A little too much slapstick and a few trite supporting characters.

The Bottom Line: A great cast, an entertaining plot, some comedy--what's not to like? Definitely one of the summer's best movies.

Review: The Princess Diaries is based on the novel of the same name by Meg Chabot. It's about Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), an awkward, insecure teenager who learns that she is the heir to the throne of Genovia, a tiny, fictitious country sandwiched...

Pros: A dream all children (girls) wished would happen to them.

Cons: NONE

The Bottom Line: You should watch this movie because it will bring you lots of happiness

Review: A Christmas review of The Princess Diaries, Santa brought this movie to my daughter this year as a gift and I really loved it. Not only does it have an Academy Award winner in the movie, but also the movie is about a Princess and that is what...

Pros: A good story, funny incidents, plot which moves and holds your attention.

Cons: Not really any. I was sorry it ended.

The Bottom Line: Princess Diaries is an excellent choice for family viewing. It's well worth the price of admission to catch it now in the theater.

Review: There are few Disney movies that I enjoy enough to justify sitting in a theater to watch. Princess Diaries is a newly discovered one of these few. My husband and I saw it with our grandchildren (Elizabeth, 10 and Matthew 7) and their parents. All six of...

Pros: Good solid cute family movie. Fat Louie. Anne Hathaway stole the show.

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: If you ever wanted to be a princess growing up or have a little girl who wants to be a princess when she grows up watch it. Excellent movie.

Review: I can describe Princess Diaries in one word, cute. The movie is every little girls dream come true. What little girl did not want to find that she was a princess?

Mia is an awkward, geeky teenage girl with bad hair. She is about turn 16 and...

Pros: Thoroughly enjoyable - JULIE ANDREWS!!!

Cons: Not enough Larry Miller

The Bottom Line: Great storytelling, if a bit predictable. WONDERFUL cast - And JULIE ANDREWS is in it! Yeay!

Review: I really wish I had seen this in the theatre!

THE PRINCESS DIARIES is one of the best films I've seen in a long time. And I really wasn't expecting much from it!

The plot is straightforward - if you've seen the trailer, you know...

Pros: Great Cast, Funny

Cons: Well known storyline

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this movie for families, however, girls about 9-14 will especially like it. The humor appeals to all ages with nothing inappropriate for younger audiences.

Review: We were pleasantly surprised by the G-rating on this movie. It is appropriate and will be enjoyed by everyone in the family, but especially pre-teen and young teen girls. When was the last time you saw a G-rated film that was not an animated feature?...

Pros: A fantastic and fun film with a terrific sequel.

Cons: Way different from the book, so watch the movie first.

The Bottom Line: It's a sweet and charming movie with a fabulous cast.

Review: The Princess Diaries is one of my favorite Disney movies. Mia Thermopolis, played by Anne Hathaway, discovers that she is actually a princess when she meets her grandmother (Julie Andrews) for the first time. As with the usual "makeover movies," ...
