Editorial Review:
Disney's hilarious smash hit gets the royal treatment in this extraordinary 2-Disc Special Edition -- only on DVD. Starring Academy Award(R) winner Julie Andrews (1964 Best Actress, MARY POPPINS), the enchanting Anne Hathaway, and Hector Elizondo (PRETTY WOMAN), THE PRINCESS DIARIES is a cool, comical Cinderella story that will touch your heart. For teenager Mia Thermopolis (Hathaway), just surviving each school day is an adventure. Then the shocking news arrives that she's a real-life princess! So begins a comical transformation towards poise and princess-ness, including a media storm, jealous schoolmates, and a plot to take over her country.
Julie Andrews of course is the mega-star of the film; it's interesting that her My Fair Lady film was also of an ugly duckling becoming something better than she is. In fact, she was that way all along. In "Princess" we watch a charming journey to that goal. Nicely done.
And the cat was a great actor, too. Not your usual dorky teenage comedy, with just enough charm to make it watchable. Didn't make my usual four or five stars because I felt the papparazzi could have been better played and the clear romance with Andrews' character was not pumped up a bit.
Oh, great scenes of San Francisco and Willie Brown!

Cute Ugly Duckling Film
To be honest I rented this elsewhere rather than having the DVD, so this is a short review on the movie itself. Anne Hathaway is the ugly duckling who gets picked on and made to be "invisible" as she says. Another reviewer thought this Disney family film was sexist which is furthest from the truth -- of course it isn't! Hathaway's character is totally suppressed and made to feel like a duck until she gets a makeover and the boy she thought she loved turned out to be a jerk. Mandy Moore, who later went onto churning out the teenage pop music of today sings a song here as well.
Julie Andrews of course is the mega-star of the film; it's interesting that her My Fair Lady film was also of an ugly duckling becoming something better than she is. In fact, she was that way all along. In "Princess" we watch a charming journey to that goal. Nicely done.
