Directed by Garry Marshall, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement picks up where its predecessor left off -- that is, with American teenager Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) reeling over the news that she is a princess within the royal family of Genovia, a little-known European nation with a population of barely 50,000. As promised, Mia, along with her best friend, Lilly (Heather Matarazzo), travels to Genovia after their high-school graduation. The unlikely princess has hardly settled into the castle, let alone begun representing the country, when she learns that a larger title is approaching more rapidly than expected; it seems as though Mia will have to take over as queen. Suddenly, in addition to further schooling on the etiquette of royalty, Mia finds herself with a daunting prospect -- according to Genovian law, all princesses must be married before they can be crowned. In addition to Julie Andrews' reprisal of her role as Queen Clarisse Renaldi, The Princess Diaries 2 also features Hector Elizondo and John Rhys-Davies in supporting roles. Though Princess Diaries author Meg Cabot did pen a sequel (The Princess Diaries: Princess in the Spotlight), this film is not an adaptation. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

After the cute, quirky, charming first movie, I was disappointed at this one...there's so many groaners in this movie, you wonder if it can get worse. And it does. Why is it, that in an imaginary country that's supposed to be in Europe, nearly everybody is American, no pretense of even a bad accent? She has a slumber party with princesses from around the world, and they all look like socal mall girls. C'mon!
The only redeeming thing about this movie isn't even in the movie, it's the outtakes reel, the most believable and fun part of the whole disc! It's amusing to see the would be king, the chisel jawed poster boy, is a total dork, in a cute way.
And for a no wayyy moment, check out what little girl of the Cosby show is up to these days...she's now the host of her own Disney show, and is an oh so sincere singer. Nearly unrecognizable, but then she makes these facical expressions thatare no doubt her. |
