"The Princess Diaries" is the charming retelling of the often-told story of the ugly duckling who's turned into a swan. Anne Hathaway stars as Mia Thermopolis, a 15-year-old high school freshman living in San Francisco. She's a teen filled with typical teen concerns. She's having a hard time gaining acceptance from her peers. She can hardly wait to get her driver's license. Most importantly to Mia, she has a crush on Josh Bryant (Erik von Detten), the most handsome boy in her class. Her only friends in school are Lilly Moscovitz (Heather Matarazzo), and Lilly's brother, Michael (Robert Schwattzman), an auto mechanic and aspiring musician.

One day, though, Mia's mother, Helen (Caroline Goodall), gets a call from Mia's paternal grandmother, Clarisse Renaldi (Julie Andrews), asking to meet with her granddaughter. At first, Mia is upset, as her grandmother has done little to keep in touch. Clarisse, though, has not come simply to pay a social call. She has come with the bad news that Mia's father...

Princess Diaries is a great movie! Its funny, charming, and a heartwarmer! Everyone should see it! The main character's travel from the high school nobody, to a princess is touching. She learns not to forsake who she was for who she is becoming. There are times when Mia feels that the popularity is more important than her old friends. In the end she figures things out and everything works out. There is now a second Princess Diaries so if you liked this one, you will be sure to like the next one!...

PJKnows says "The Princess Diaries brings back simple comedy with true class." about The Princess Diaries (2001)

The Princess Diaries is true classic comedy. Julie Andrews is superb as the elegant queen who tries so hard to bring out the beauty and grace in her young rebellious granddaughter. Many will rejoice in the similiar comedy styling of this film to that of Roman Holiday with the delightful and elegant Audrey Hepburn. We need more films like this to take away the harsh realities of life and put us in a kinder gentler place. Every home should have this movie to be enjoyed by all ages and share the lessons within....

stef42678 says "Fun Fairytale" about The Princess Diaries (2001)

stef42678 — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:23:41 GMT

I really love The Princess Diaries, because it is a great family story and it has a great fairytale appeal. Anne Hathaway stars as a struggling teen who is smart, but awkward in high school and is sort of an outcast in her high school. Her life is pretty plain until she gets word from her grandmother that she is a princess, which turns her ordinary life upside down. In order to take the thrown, she must learn to be a princess. This involves a huge makeover from the outside in and develops into a fun and hilarious story. This tale is heartwarming and inspiring and great to watch. I love Julie Andrews starring as the regal grandmother....

The Princess Diaries is an adorable story about an awkward girl who transforms into a woman - a story that is relateable to young girls everywhere. I love Anne Hathaway, and she was so cute as an awkward teenager. And Julie Andrews is just perfect; she is really ageless! This is a great family movie, and has uplifting themes that make this movie really worth watching....

The Princess Diaries is just the cutest story ever. My daugther is 2 and half and she is also in love with this movie. It is one of those feel good stories that appeals to both young and old.

I love that the main character, Mia, is so down to earth and normal. It shows kids that they don't have to act a certain way or follow in with the popular crowd to be somebody special. It just sends a wonderful message to all little girls out there.

Overall, it is just a great movie that I think the whole family can enjoy.

Plot
Mia is an awkward girl living with her mother in San Francisco. Right around her 16 birthday she is told that her father has passed away - and given the shocking news that he was the crown Prince of a small country called Genovia. When the queen comes to visit to try and convince her to take her rightful spot as Princess, Mia is not as excited as most young girls would be. She has settled with being invisible and just hiding in the crowd, and now they are going to tell her she's a princess???

Mia: You try living for 15 years thinking that you're one person, and then in five minute, you find out you're a princess. Just in case I wasn't enough of a freak already, let's add a tiara!

She reluctantly agrees to go through the Princess training and not make any rash decisions. This is all to be done in secret, but of course high school kids gossip! Her secret is leaked and she is still unsure what she wants to do but now she has the whole town watching! What will she decide? Can she even......
