Reviews for Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
Definitely appealed to my inner 12-year-old self.
08/13/04
Offers enough glossy good cheer to appeal to everyone.
08/11/04
Top CriticThe Princess Diaries 2 may not be quite fit for royalty, but it doesn't make viewers feel as if they've been sent to a dungeon either.
08/11/04
The real treat, though, is seeing Anne Hathaway come into her own as an actress. Able to play both drama and broad comedy, she really carries the film on her shoulders.
08/11/04
A movie that proves fairy tales can come true ... twice.
08/11/04
Top CriticOught to charm its loyal subjects, or at least their less demanding little sisters.
08/11/04
Would succeed with the pre-teen set; nothing here for adults.
08/12/04
'Runaway Bride' moved from rural Maryland to the mock-European setting of Genovia... It's a triple-deluxe marshmallow sundae of a movie, and that's exactly as it should be.
08/10/04
The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement picks up right where the 2001 hit original left off -- not only in its story line, but in its appeal to young girls.
08/11/04
If I were a young girl between 6 to 16 years old, I'd find this a perfectly enjoyable movie.
08/16/04
[A] needless but charming sequel.
08/26/04
With the chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews he discovered in the first film, Marshall would have needed superhuman effort to screw up their appeal.
08/11/04
Starts out rather awkwardly but succeeds almost in spite of itself.
08/11/04
Simple romantic fluff that at least doesn't shortchange its target audience in the usual condescending manner.
08/18/04
Sure, the characters are very basic, the situation has been seen before and you can practically write the script from frame one. But that doesn’t stop it from working.
08/16/04
It's Hollywood hokum at its most glamorous and effective.
08/11/04
Top CriticStill going strong at the respective ages of 69 and 68, director Garry Marshall and his singing co-star Julie Andrews are the true royal couple of this straightforward sequel.
08/11/04
This Princess falters before getting to the altar. Once that near-magical event happens (especially, if you're a little girl), the kingdom is enchanted once again.
08/12/04
The larger message -- that you should marry for the right reasons only when you're ready -- is one everyone can applaud.
