In a typical big, crappy summer movie, you sometimes feel the filmmakers’ disinterest in the audience, but in The Princess Diaries 2 the feeling is more like contempt.

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement is unapologetically aimed towards young girls, making this review virtually moot.

[The film] runs an insufferable two hours, leisurely chugging toward an ending most of the audience will have predicted 15 minutes in.

A chocolate-box sequel whose rose-tinted view of constitutional monarchy will provoke hoots of derision this side of the pond.

Unlikely to appeal to anyone, regardless of their thoughts on the first film.

If you are a prepubescent girl with a five-year old intellect, this is a smash hit. If you’re not, bring a good book.

Constantly opts for contrived cheesiness, slathering on the cuteness with a trowel.

This threadbare sequel takes a page from such revisionist fairy tales as Shrek and Ella Enchanted, movies that assume we've grown so weary of the same old Cinderella story that they go out of their way to invert the formula.

Sadly, the film leaves you with the feeling this was done just for the money this sequel would possibly bring.
