The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement

Mia Thermopolis is now a college graduate and on her way to Genovia to take up her duties as princess. Accompanied by her friend Lilly, Mia continues her 'princess lessons', like riding horses side-saddle and archery. But her already complicated life is turned upside down once again when she learns that she is to take the crown as queen earlier than expected, all while she meets a mysteriously charming young man.

"It can take a lifetime to find true love; she's got 30 days!"

Good watch, could watch again, but can't recommend unless you just really liked the first one.

Of all the boring premises, a legal requirement is a really boring choice. Forcing a marriage is not only not relatable for America (Mia's country of origin), but also not exciting to watch Anne Hatheway reject guys and have to settle. And all the while they ignore the obvious solution.

There is a lot of fun with the idea of a American princess just having fun with a lot of resources, and touching bits with her using her power for good.

Sadly, again, the movie doesn't feel like it does any...

Just as slow as the original, but I'd argue it's a better film overall.

There isn't much between the two films, I admit. However, I found <em>'The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement'</em> more enjoyable than <em>'The Princess Diaries'</em>. The plot is probably just as interesting, but there's less cringe in this one and the villains are a big improvement.

Anne Hathaway (Mia) is very good once more, while Julie Andrews (Clarisse) does solid things again. John Rhys-Davies (Mabrey) and Chris Pine (Nicholas) are top additions, great casting on the latter by the way given it's Pine's featu...
