Overall, our reactions to The Princess Diaries 2 were mixed. My girls declared it their favorite song in the movie, so it just goes to show you that the makers of this film really know their target audience. Her voice in the The Princess Diaries 2 is more in keeping with an appropriately aged Mary Poppins.

She also sang in the made-for-TV movie Eloise at the Plaza two years ago, but in the raucous cockney character of Nanny. Julie Andrews attempting hip-hop with Raven it's hard to look at the screen while it's happening.Ī big to-do was made of the fact that Andrews sings in the film. Unfortunately, the song itself is incredibly cringe-worthy. She sings a little song with Julie Andrews (more on that later) and has a song in the credits her total screen time is under 10 minutes, thank goodness. The only reason she is in the film, it seems, is to hawk her singing career. Just the slight possibility of that kept things interesting.Īnother character not found in the first film is Princess Asana, played by Disney Channel mainstay Raven. He's easily the most entertaining character in the film, if for no other reason thanhaving played Gimli the dwarf in The Lord of the Rings trilogyyou expect him to pick up an ax and start swinging it when he's really angry at Queen Clarisse (Julie Andrews).

With 30 days to find a groom, Mia faces the prospect of an arranged marriage. If that plot point seem a bit far-fetched, just remember that in context it makes more sense than them saying, We have a centuries-old law that any film that grosses $100 million must be followed by a sequel. A wrench is thrown into the proceedings by the Genovian Parliament, which decides to adhere to a centuries-old law that state that a princess must be married in order to become queen. The Princess Diaries 2 picks up five years later, opening with Princess Mia (Anne Hathaway) graduating from college and preparing to assume the throne of the fictional country of Genovia. So we all had high hopes heading up to Hollywood to see The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement and attend the Princess Tea after the screening. I was also looking forward to the film because the first movie was charming and fun and one of those rare movies that kids and adults could enjoy together. My daughters have been waiting anxiously for the sequel to the The Princess Diaries.
