The Princess Diaries

Love this sweet coming-of-age story wrapped in an urban teenager's discovery that she is the sole heir to the throne of a small kingdom. This movie deftly avoids all the tired tropes that have spun from that pitch. Instead, it delivers witty, realistic scenarios as Mia navigates high school angst we all went through of not fitting in as a young teen in general--then gets hit with a much bigger how-can-I-ever-fit-in scenario. Anne Hathaway as Mia was only 17 when this movie was filmed, and I can't imagine anyone playing this role but her. Ditto for Julie Andrews as her estranged royal relative. This is not only a must-watch movie but also an I'll-watch-it-again movie.

We love this movie. What great actors.

Princess Diaries did not disappoint! It had a lot of funny parts, and poignant parts. I found myself laughing a lot. The girl in the movie was totally relatable. This is definitely worth the watch. It is also family friendly. I have watched it at least twice.

Anne Hathaway in the early 2000s was a vibe and I was there for it and still am! I had so much fun sharing this favorite movie of mine with my daughter. She now absolutely loves it and wants to be a princess just like Mia. Great family movie!

was nice to watch again- made me laugh/ and more

It was good and in good shape

Love this movie! Gifted to my mom

Came on time

This is certainly one of the most charming films I have seen in a while. It deals with the old fable of the girl who is told she is a princess and is going to be taken off into a magical land where she can be happy. The Princess Diaries takes this story and puts it into into a modern teenage context. Mia plays a dejected unpopular teenager who has no pride in herself or in her appearance, her friends are all a little bit off-the-wall and outspoken. She daydreams about the popular boy of the school dating her, etc, all the usual stuff that can be expected from somebody in her position. The film deals with the sudden and drastic changes that happen in her life, and how everyone around her reacts to what is happening. Her true friends think that she is selling out as her image is glamorised, people start wanting to be friends with her because of her position, and all the while Mia is still the same shy worrisome teenager beneath it all. The film carries a moral message - that its what's inside that counts, and that just because she was made a Princess it doesn't make her any more special than she was before. I think this film is hugely enjoyable, filled with moments that are really quite funny as well as moments that can be really quite touching. Wonderful stuff.

Satisfaite

Un film que j’ai pu voir assez jeune. Je me le suis acheter à nouveau et je l'aime toujours autant. C'est un film touchant et adapté à tout âge. L'histoire de Mia Thermopolis, lycéenne, qui se découvre princesse de Génovie. Drôle et touchant, ce film est bien fait et est très fluide. Je le recommande vivement.

Perfecto

Vous passerez un excellent moment devant cette réussite WD, un divertissement rafraîchissant qui donne l'espoir d'un troisième volet. Mesdames J. Andrews et A. Hathaway sont parfaites, actrices et comédiennes exemplaires. Pour les 60aires qui ont connu la demoiselle d'Avignon et les clins d'oeil à la Principauté du Rocher, et pour ceux qui ont aimé Mary Poppins (la vraie), ne ratez pas ces bijoux.
