Blu B Yeah it's pretty good actually. Hathaway was a bit over the top dorky like a cartoon character at first but once she settled in and becomes the princess she becomes more of a real person with quirky charm and is relatable. Julie Andrews is great and is a rock in this for consistency. Everyone else though is kind of forgettable and gives Disney Channel style performances. But overall the acting isn't bad thanks to those two. The music isn't bad either. It can be a bit on the generic side but is used pretty well overall. Everything else is pretty solid about it. The setting is memorable, it's very colorful and pops quite a bit, which helps because the direction is pretty basic. It can get a little jumbled fitting in all the different subplots. The romances, the best friend, her family, the mean girls, etc but it somehow overall makes it work pretty well. I think it does because it stays focused on Mia mostly and when it does cut to a sideplot it makes it very quick and ties in pretty well. It's also very charming and at times sincere honestly. The humor actually gets a consistent laugh every now and than. The PG friendly tone actually helps give it a charm rather than holds it back surprisingly. It's a bit long but it worked mostly and I didn't really mind it because I liked Mia quite a bit actually. It's a Disney Live Action Classic that anyone who likes any actors in this, the director, Cinderella type stories, or Disney live action should check out. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review alan g Updated version of Cinderella. Even the fairy godmother can't save this one. Anne Hathaway is cute. Julie Andrews is wasted. Hector Elizondo as Julie Andrews secret love interest? Now that's a fairy tale.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Emery A Typical teenage work with a lukewarm plot for two great actresses, they managed to bring personality to a tired plot that could have been easily forgettable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Meydiana R I loved this movie and although it may have been slightly cliché, the dialog was quite smart and it was quite a funny movie. I think that if you expect the movie to be Oscar worthy, it will obviously fall short. But as it only attempts to be a sweet story about a misfit 15 year old turned princess, it completely lives up to it's potential. I think that Julie Andrews completely made the movie and that Anne Hathaway also did an excellent job. The movie is great for people of all ages because it has a simplistic plot yet has great one liners and great repartee between the characters of the Queen and Princess Mia. I also think that the minor characters are great also because they provide even more comic relief Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review erika l i love princess diaries.
