The Princess Diaries (2001)

Synopsis

A socially awkward but very bright 15-year-old girl being raised by a single mom discovers that she is the princess of a small European country because of the recent death of her long-absent father, who, unknown to her, was the crown prince of Genovia. She must make a choice between continuing the life of a San Francisco teen or stepping up to the throne. While Mia makes up her mind, she’s pressed into taking princess lessons from her grandmother.


What Uncle Sha learned

I can tell why chicks love watching “The Princess Diaries” … doesn’t every girl have this fascination of becoming a princess? Am I right.

To us guys, it’s the equivalent of us dudes wanting to become a famous soccer player, or playing Dirty Harry.

After watching the movie, I might say there’s slight a miscast.

No it’s not Julie Andrews. Despite my thoughts of her wanting to break into the Sound of Music dancing-singing repertoire every time she appears on-screen, it was Anne Hathaway.

Mia Thermopolis

Yes I agree she’s about the prettiest thing I’ve seen around, and being cast a social nerdy geek was just too unbelievable.

She’s just too pretty, no I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but no matter how much dirt you try to cover on her, she still looks hot!

I have to give props to her kissing prowess. The scene where she kissed Michael in the garden, fuuyoooh I was feeling it. Guys take note!

It’s a coming-of-age kinda movie, about having faith in miracles, and the triumph of oneself overcoming awkward adolescent.
