The Princess Diaries [Region 2]

This movie is fun to watch. It has romance, comedy, drama... sort of a lilt bit of everything. Of course the fact that it has both Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews (two actresses I just love) doesn't hurt either. I really like that the message behind this isn't just a Cinderella/rags-to-riches type story. Mia doesn't really want to be a princess but in the end chooses it because theres the potential to affect great change.

I was really young when this movie first came out, so I might be biased because I grew up with it, but I think it's a really cute classic that will stand up for sleepovers for years to come. I watch it when I'm having a bad day at work and need a pick-me-up, but it's also a great movie to put on when you're babysitting!

Disney has a way of making princess every girl's dream, and this movie was no difference. What we find though isn't the girl who is victim and needs a prince to save her, but an awkward clumsy girl who learns to believe in herself. This movie came out when Disney realised they wanted to create characters with more depth. One real girls can look up to, but still have that magic of being a princess. It's quirky ways and great comedy makes this movie a joy for all ages. And, the characters were well developed. The Princess Diaries really is a win for many girls, and will always be a Disney Classic.

Wasn't sure whether or not I'd like this movie when I first came across it, but bought it anyway. It was certainly Worth it, as it has some very funny moments scattered through out it. Also bought the second one (Part # 2) so I'd have the set. That was worth the money too even though it dragged a bit, but had a Great ending.

I thoroughly enjoyed these "feel good" films and watch them over again when I am feeling low.The plot and characterizations are excellent. the acting is excellent, the sets are wonderful.Buy it - you'll like it!

There are many girls who would like to wake up one morning and find out they were a princess...still. This romantic comedy was very enjoyable. To watch a bushy-headed 15 year-old go from "invisible" to the future ruler of a country was funny and sad. Learning the meaning of courage at the last minute was a real transformation moment for her. The story is funny and serious and the Queen (Julie Andrews) was great in her role as the grandmother. It was enjoyable and Hathaway made her journey to being the Princess totally believable. It would be nice to see a third story for after the wedding when Mia is the queen. It would make the story complete.

I watch this movie every year since going abroad and missing my home in the Bay Area- now I just do it because I love the film! It makes me think of my relationship with my own grandmother, who I know will always love and support me as Mia's grandmother does.

We actually bought this movie twice. We ordered the combo disc from Amazon in advance of a movie night. We were disappointed that the blu-ray disc did not play correctly in our Panasonic player. It stopped several scenes into the movie. (on the next day, We did try it on a different blu-ray player and it played correctly. We have not noticed any other discs with this trouble. Hopefully it was just a production aberration for this disc.We wound up paying for it again that night. We bought the streaming version to keep the movie playing.The movie itself was enjoyable (according to our daughter and her friends).

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.

Arrived promptly good film that family can enjoy over Christmas as normal TV shows are rubbish and been on to many times tried to watch but it refused to play saying could not be played in this area

just as good as the second film, definitely worth a watch

My twelve year old is a huge fan of The Princess Diaries books by Meg Cabot, so I ordered this for her. She really enjoyed it, but when I asked for star rating, she gave it 4. She says this is because they changed some things too much from the book. Otherwise, thumbs up :)

Suddenly found princess diaries 2 in the loft... watched it again, wanted to watch princess diaries 1 but didn't have it. Bought for a generous price, great film, an easy watch!
