Full Plot Details

Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) is the average teenager - sweet, a little geeky, and pretty much invisible to everyone with the exception of her mother, best friend Lilly (Heather Matarazzo) and Lilly's older brother Michael (Robert Schwartzman). Making it through high school without throwing up is a challenge in itself for Mia, so it doesn't come as welcome news when her estranged grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi (Dame Julie Andrews), shows up out of the blue and calmly informs her that she is in fact the heir to the throne of a European country called Genovia. Suddenly Mia's life is thrown into complete overload. She's being taught about scarves, waves, and pears in order to become a perfect Princess, she gets a makeover and a tough looking, yet sweet bodyguard and limo driver called Joe (Hector Elizondo). Things get out of hand when the media gets a hold of the story and suddenly Mia is thrust into the spotlight in the newspapers and in school. On top of all of that, Mia has a choice to make. She must decide by Genovia's Independence Day Ball whether she longs to relinquish her claim on the throne or to become the Princess and heir to the throne her father, Philippe Renaldi (Rene Auberjonois), and grandmother want her to be.

Movie Reviews

Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Nell MinowTerrific fun for girls and their families, too.
Decent Films Guide - 9/10 by Steven D. GreydanusThose in the market for what it has to offer will find it pleasantly agreeable, and those who aren’t won’t be in the theater in the first place.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura Clifford"The Princess Diaries" just gives a high gloss sheen to a perfectly average piece of Disney live action entertainment.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttIt has a premise fraught with potential, but that potential goes largely unfulfilled due to a curious timidity by the filmmakers.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Chris HewittIt's such a delightful, amusing fairy tale that it leaves you wanting more.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Loren KingManages to wring some originality out of its fairy-tale plot. This freshness compensates for the expected hackneyed qualities in this Cinderella tale.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasThis stylish Disney production is an ideal family film.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumThis charming, if unnecessarily coronation-length production gets the duckling-to-swan ambivalence just right.
Kalamazoo Gazette - 8/10 by James SanfordThe film was directed by Garry Marshall, who turned "Pretty Woman" into a fairy tale for big girls 11 years ago. In many ways, "Diaries" is the G-rated remake...
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleEntertaining and pleasing for children and parents, and not in the schizophrenic way of most kid's movies, which toss naughty in-jokes over the kiddies' heads.
