The Princess Diaries (2001)
Anne Hathaway made here big screen début in this adaptation of the novel of the same name from director Garry Marshall that also stars Julie Andrews. An American school girl finds out that she is the heir to the throne of a small European country.
The plot of this film is a pretty simple coming of age, wish fulfilment piece aimed at young girls with little real depth to it and covering the usual ground these films follow. I found the sound track to be particularly annoying as it seems to be random songs from the CD collection (remember when people had those?) of a young girl which I'm sure appeals to the target audience but no one else. Clearly the film is aimed at a very specific audience but it is not as badly made or cheesy as to bore those outside of the target audience.
3/5
