Description: Starring the irresistible Anne Hathaway (ELLA ENCHANTED) and Academy Award(R) winner Julie Andrews (Best Actress, MARY POPPINS, 1964), this modern-day fairy tale picks up right where THE PRINCESS DIARIES left off! As future queen of Genovia, Princess Mia (Hathaway) has everything a girl could want -- except the magical romance she's always dreamed of. But soon, Mia's shocked to discover that she needs to get married right now or her family will lose the crown! Comic complications rule the day in this delightful family story about finding out who you really are and discovering what it takes to make your dreams come true!
Amazon.com: If you're a ten-year-old girl, this sequel to Disney's 2001 hit will completely transfix you. How could it not? Bubbly Mia (Anne Hathaway), the American teenager who in the first film learned she was actually European royalty, finishes college and--whoosh!--heads off to Genovia, where he's given a closet full of fabulous clothes and jewelry in preparation to rule the kingdom under the tutelage of grandmother Julie Andrews. Throw in a horse and a volatile but innocent romantic attraction to the dreamy young stud (Chris Pine) who's also vying for the throne, and you have the kind of stuff that prepubescent girls rhapsodize about at slumber parties. Oh--and there's a slumber party here, too, featuring a bevy of cute, international young princesses mattress-surfing down a giant slide. Resistance is futile. For the rest of us, though, director Garry Marshall has managed to make his Laverne & Shirley days seem positively Shakespearean in comparison. The movie is precious, padded (two hours!), and pandering twaddle; Andrews, in her role as Queen Mother, is even shoehorned into a faux-hip-hop duet with Disney Channel favorite Raven (one of many, many grueling moments intended to sell the soundtrack). Then the film takes a maddening left turn three-quarters of the way into the plot and decides that, despite all the preceding consumption and connubial fantasies to the contrary, it's really about feminine emancipation. But don’t worry--what causes you to smack your forehead in frustration will go right over the heads of its hypnotized target market. --Steve Wiecking
Princess Mia has to get married... Princess Mia has been busy since we left her in the Princess Diaries. She has had Princess lessons, and has also just graduated from college.
Queen Clarisse, Mia's grandmother, wants to step down so that Mia can become Queen but the royal ad visors say that she can not be Queen until she is married. There is another hiccup also. Viscount Maybrey wants his nephew Nicholas Devereaux to be King since he also has royal ancestry. The advisers say they will give Mia one month to find a husband and then she can become Queen.
Mia is given a list of suitable husbands (one of which was Prince William) and she picks Andrew Jacoby, Duke of Kenilworth. They get engaged to be married, but Mia finds herself falling for Nicholas instead (even though she cannot stand him.) Things come to a head at Mia and Andrew's wedding. What happens after? Watch the movie.
This is a very good sequel to The Princess Diaries and Anne Hathaway and Chris Pine (who plays Nicholas) are great.
dropped the ball... DVD played poorly, did not respond to email asking for a replacement. Because of this, I will no longer deal with this seller.
Cute but flawed film I enjoy both of the films. I 1st watched them simply to see Julie's performance. The film is cute but flawed, NOT near perfect. Some scenes work, others drive you crazy on how cheesy they are.
After the surgery that hurt Julie's ability to sing the chance to see her sing in the film DISNEY HAD TO RUIN TO ADD THAT RAVEN GIRL IN THE SONG JUST BECAUSE SHE HAD A SHOW ON THE DISNEY CHANNEL AT THE TIME. JULIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SONG SHE COULD DO ON HER OWN. Do we need to point out Julie's Disney history? Her 1st film "Mary Poppins" won her the Oscar. The soundtrack won an Oscar & Julie sang several memorable songs. Did Disney forget this?
I did NOT like Larry Miller's character in either film Hector Elizondo was good as Joe in both films
Good, not outstanding, extras on the DVD.
Songs in the film did NOTHING for me.
Better than Orignial I really liked this movie, even better than Princess Diaries one. It's funny and heart-warming (anythings heart-warming to me). I'd say for girls of all ages. If you liked Princess Diaries watch this movie!! I don't really think you need to watch the first one to watch this one.
The Princess Diaries II This was a very entertaining movie. I like the first version better than the 2nd which is usually the case but this movie was very good. I think all ages would enjoy it.
