Dreamer241 I quite enjoyed the first Princess Diaries until I read the book. The original Mia is a passionate, thoughtful and interesting character. She is nowhere near similar to the candy floss airhead shown in the movies. I often enjoy rom-coms but this was never meant to be one. This was a story about a girl who is invisible because she is smart and cares about things other then hair and makeup. She wants to save the world and if she can't do that she can at least contribute to society.(I was not pleased with the last book, but let's look at the film.) This was a highly disappointing film which just repeated the same mistakes all 'girly' films do. The central message is supposed to be 'You can be anything you want to be, regardless of how pretty and attractive you are.' Yet it is contradicted by everything else. There was nothing funny or even original about it. I suppose if the film is aimed at a younger audience then it is understandable but even so there was no reason Mia couldn't have fallen in love with Prince Andrew. Why did she have to go for the typical bad boy figure. A lot of things weren't explained, where was Michel her boyfriend from the first film. Are we supposed to believe after all that crushing, he would just fade into the background. Overall, very poor.

wuvvie This movie lacks everything that was good about Princess Diaries 1 - a witty, honestly funny, smart storyline. They realized they could make a lot of money off of this movie, no matter what crap they put out there; this was the result.I suppose this film has its good moments, which are mostly romantic moments that I enjoyed. But the whole basis of the relationship was preposterous; Mia sure got rid of Michael quickly.I recommend this movie to little girls 11 or younger and who can't afford a more decent movie. To everyone else, skip it or find yourself rolling your eyes every 5 seconds into this cringe-inducing movie.

cosmorados Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those guys that binds all chick films in the same category. Hey, I like "Bring it on", "Enchanted" and "Stardust", but this film stunk.The contrived script that tried to turn a reasonable box office success into a bland romantic comedy is dismal and is like a kind of royal version of pretty woman. Hey, wouldn't it be great, to have all that money and a palace and imagine what fun you could have with it? Blah blah blah! The male that is supposed to be cad she falls in love with is played without charm by Chris Pine, kills any kind of sympathy or like that one may have or his character and bearing in mind that she is supposed to be entering into an arranged marriage it kind of kills the charm that Anne Hathaway had in the first film.The comedy is handled with about as much skill as George Bush handling a doorknob. The romance is weak and in spite of the fact that Julie Andrews and Hector Elizonda handles their roles well, it is an uninspired and tragic affair that leaves one hoping that the Princess Diaries will now stop being written.

tforbey I loved the movie!!! I would like to see part 3 called Princess Mia's Wedding. I would like her to marry(Chris Pine). The movie should have them dating then getting married and ready to start a family. The 2nd was the best but I would change the title of the movie just with a new title will attract more viewers. Princess Diaries 2 was very very good and to have Chris Pine was very smart.Chris and Anne made a good match that is why if you make #3 with them both together you will be sure to have a winner. Also good music will be a plus in the movie. I have read the other comments from other viewers that have seen the movie and the comment were not bad but just think about it change the title and have Anne and Chris get together and you will see a new door open up with more viewers then you can name and have a winner try it and I know we all will love it.
