El diario de la princesa 2

I remember seeing the first movie not expecting much from it, but when I walked out I was pleasantly surprised! When I saw the previews to this movie I thought "Oh god! Another movie ruined by a sequel!" I was slightly wrong in my thinking, because this was in fact a cute, light-hearted, feel-good movie. Maybe it's not as good as the first, but I still thought it was rather enjoyable. Anne Hathaway is a great actress and I'm so glad her talent was discovered and recognized. Julie Andrews gave a great performance as the former Queen of Genovia. This movie may have been predictable and a big ball of fluff, but what do you expect to a sequel to a Disney movie where Pixar wasn't involved? I would recommend this movie to anyone, just as long as you go into it knowing it's different from the first. I'm just praying there won't be a third movie.

The sequel is still funny and it's worth watching to hear Julie Andrews sing again. The "mattress surfing scene is wonderful especially when the Queen (Andrews) pops in and everyone thinks OMG the party's over. But NO! Anne Hathaway is absolutely gorgeous, so guys will of course enjoy the "eye candy" and the ladies have some pretty hunky guys around too. The real story of this movie though is the fleshing out of the relationship between Joe (Hector Elizondo) and the Queen. That's the most interesting subplot in the story and the most enjoyable too. The ending is somewhat of a predictable surprise. I found it to be enjoyable. Not as witty as the original but still worth the watch.

Disney have proved yet again why they are a head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to producing movies that aren't admittedly brain food, but are "good clean fun", (if you'll forgive the cliché), for kids. For every little girl who ever dreamed of becoming a princess, this film is the perfect way to spend two hours.

True, it was grossly unfaithful to Meg Cabot's original novels, but still managed to convey the charm and slick veneer that has come to be associated with Disney, and the valuable message of independence for little princesses everywhere.

For the more mature audience, this is a happy chance to revisit childhood, or simply breathe a sigh of relief that what your child is watching is not in any way compromising or damaging, and will not have to be explained later.

Good message. Solid performances. Sweet (if bland and predictable at times) story line. Great movie!

Highly recommended for two hours of escapism on a summer's afternoon.

The sequel to the highly successful Princess Diaries has come. This time, Mia who is slowly but surely adapting in her life as a princess is faced with a dilemma wherein she has to according to an obscure law must marry before she can ascend to the throne of Genovia. She must no chose between her duty to her new homeland or the affairs of her heart. In the background, lurks characters that are to benefit should she choose not to take the crown.

My very first reaction after watching the film was that I did not really enjoy the humour that the film had. There were a lot of elements that was taken from the first film. Whereas in the first film, it proved to be funny and quite charming, in this film it was the complete opposite. It's just like you listening to a joke that you have already heard before; it just doesn't have the same effect on you unlike the first time. It really looked quite silly that Anne Hathaway, who obviously has matured since the last PD movie, would come up with the same clumsy moves. In the past she could have gotten away with it but not this time around. I sincerely hope this is the last time she goes and does a movie like this because she has definitely outgrown this type of roles.

The story I also thought was rather dull and boring. It's pretty much a run of the mill story, which is really one of the weaker points of this movie. Yes it was rather predictable.

Overall this movie was a weak sequel and rather one to forget. I really hope that this franchise be put to rest as I really think a third film would really harm the franchise in the end. Then again this movie did make almost $100 Million and Disney might just try to squeeze a little more from the film.

The thing that disappointed me about this movie was the title. I have read most of the Princess Diaries books and I really like them. So the fact that the movie is called the same thing is annoying since it has absolutely nothing to do with the books. If you have read the books and want to see the movie just go in knowing that there is no relation between the two whatsoever. They are two completely different things. Once you know and accept this, you can enjoy the movie. It is pretty nice, with good acting. There is also a scene where we listen to Julie Andrews singing again! It is definitely a cute movie to watch and enjoy with the family!
