Excellent adaptation.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Watching this movie now that I'm 24, watching it with my "body positive eyes" makes me sad. I see little me adoring it and thinking that you need to change yourself and become beautiful in order to be happy. Of course I still like this movie. It makes me nostalgic and it's funny but the message is not that good...

Mia Thermopolis (played by Anne Hathaway) is a 15-year old girl. Awkward and shy she lives with her artist mother Helen (Catherine Goodall) in an refurbished former fire station. Then one day she meets her grandmother Clarisse (Julie Andrews) and is informed that she is the Princess of the European country of Genovia. Despite the perks involved, she is not so sure she wants to assume the title. Very formulaic and obviously made for children, the whole plot and production are pure Disney. Very fairy tale-like and predictable.Yet it is difficult to dislike. The main characters are not your usual irritating, bratty teens. There is an innocence to it all that propels the movie. Plus, Anne Hathaway puts in a wonderful, charming performance as Mia.So, really a children's movie, but adults won't mind being forced to sit through it.

I watched this movie when I was elementary school. It was almost 10 years ago. But sometimes even now, I want to watch that movie. Story is very simple Cinderella story and mixed modern America Sun Fransico. Main character goes to school,there is typical Adolescent cliques. She is not the top class of Adolescent cliques. She revealed she is princess, but she wants to hide that thing. The cause of that, may be there is related. She grew up as a princess. Then she forget an important thing. That is importance of friendship. She get in trouble because of forget that. I really learn many important thing in this movie.

This royal film's got it all: a princess, a queen, a classic Cinderella story, a ball, "cute boys", a quirky BFF... you name it, you got it! I'd say pretty much any female will find this movie a pleasure to watch, as it fulfills the childhood fantasy we've all craved in a humorous and tasteful way, and in the end leaves you satisfied and feeling good.The characters are all endearing and special in their own ways, from Mia's disgruntled neighbor, to the classic "mean girl", to her typical "backstreet boy" crush. I admit that sometimes it does become a little trite and cliché at times, what with the overdone stereotypes, but it keeps the viewer intrigued so it's not at all negative. It might even make you chuckle believe it or not! However this movie, like many other movies, is not for everyone; rather, this movie is better suited for tweens and teens. And when I say that, I am in NO WAY belittling it or putting it down, because to me 'Princess Diaries' is and always will be an enjoyable, funny, and at times childish film. (Not gonna lie--most guys will probably find no joy in watching it, but that fact does not a bad movie make.) I've seen this movie numerous times, and it seems I can never get tired of it. Cheesy? Yes, but in this case, the cheese works.
