August 26, 2011Not my thing, but im a guy, haha. The movie has a interesting premise, and works out well, but soon becomes just another chick flick, with afunny cast, but is not my kind of movie.

May 20, 2011It was an okay type of movie. Anne Hathaway acted well. Her before face was not that bad if you ask me. Loved the grandma. Very elegant and cool. It's a good movie to watch with your family.

May 11, 2011A fun and wishful film about a geek that becomes a princess. Brilliant in the way that every teenage girl can identify with Mia in some way. If you need a pick up then watch it.

April 29, 2011Once in a while, I enjoy a good, cliched teen comedy. In honor of the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton taking place today, I shall review "The Princess Diaries". This is the film that made Oscar-nominee, future Catwoman, Anne Hathaway a star.

November 18, 2010Anne Hathaway's career was basically made by this movie, and it's hard not to love her with the imperical writing of the original books by teenage siren Meg Cabot.

August 18, 2010This is a great family film. It's about a teenager turning into a young lady and that she didn't have to look far for love. :) Just a fantastic movie & Robert Schwartzman is so cute and sweet in this movie. :) A great movie for all ages! :) I enjoy it every time that I watch it. :)

August 10, 2010It's odd to think of a Teen Girl movie not being corny and pathetic, it's usually the trend with the genre. This is the case with this though.

A modest, enjoyable fairy tale that easily outcharms its animated stablemates of the past decade. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
A sweet movie from a sweet director. Full Review

Jan Stuart, Newsday
Hardly a cross-dressing update of My Fair Lady. But in its own blanded-down fashion, it captures just enough of that show's metamorphic zest to make you wish it were. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Occasionally funny but more often hackneyed, schmaltzy, predictable and overdone.

David Germain, Associated Press
The movie is one to savor for its good humor and big heart, despite some hackneyed fairy-tale notions. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Surprisingly little time is spent mining the comic potential of Mia's education, with the comedy rationed in favour of a tiresome amount of attention lavished on her ongoing school problems. Full Review
