Mia Thermopolis has just found out that she is the heir apparent to the throne of Genovia. With her friends Lilly and Michael Moscovitz in tow she tries to navigate through the rest of her sixteenth year. They were funny and sweet and I stupidly assumed the movie would be the same.
All the aspects I enjoyed so much about the books were gone. She was replaced by Julie Andrews. I kept on expecting her to burst into song and start running down hills.
After Mia reveals a document that proclaims Genovia a Democratic Monarchy, a bitter election ensues. Mia's father is running against a cousin who is using some questionable tactics. Meanwhile, Mia's novel - written under a pen name - is getting denied just as quickly as Princess Mia Thermopolis' college applications are getting accepted. What's a princess to do? For Princess Mia the past five years since college graduation have been a whirlwind of activity, what with living in New York City, running her new teen community center, being madly in love, and attending royal engagements.
And speaking of engagements. Mia's gorgeous longtime boyfriend, Michael, managed to clear both their schedules just long enough for an exotic and very private Caribbean island interlude where he popped the question! The Princess Diaries 17 books in series.

Lana being exposed to the press for claiming she was Mia's best friend when she wasn't. User reviews Review. Top review. A surprise treat! When I was 32 years old, back in when this movie came out, I took my then 7 year old daughter to see this move.
The previews made this movie look like the standard Disney channel fluff I occasionally have to endure. However, I found that I actually enjoyed this movie. The story is not all that original. A long lost heir to the throne of Genovia has been identified as a klutzy teenager who lives in San Francisco. The Queen of Genovia goes to San Francisco and attempts to persuade her to come back to Genovia and take her place as a princess of the realm.
From their the typical hijinks ensue. The Queen learns to loosen up and relax. Princess Mia also struggles between dating the school jock, who ignored her before she became famous and dating an unpopular guy who has been her friend for years. The story is predictable and hold no real surprises. Despite this I still found myself enjoying the film.
Julie Andrews did well in her role as the Queen and it was a treat to see her in another Disney film. I was surprised by how well Anne Hathaway did in her role as Princess Mia. She held her own against such performers as Andrews and Elizondo. This movie could have come off as cheezy but thanks to the director and skilled actors it proved to be a real treat. I remember back in when PW came out that girls thought it was so romantic that a hooker could find romance, true love and wealth.
In my opinion PD is a much better role model. I'd rather have my little girl wishing she that she was heir to throne than a hooker who happens to find true love. Anyway, thanks to my daughter I discovered a film that I really enjoyed It is also because of her that I just saw the sequel, PD
