The Princess Diaries 2 : Royal Engagement (2004) 6/10

Starring : Anne Hathaway, Heather Matarazzo, John Rhys-Davies, Chris Pine, Callum Blue, Hector Elizondo, Julie Andrews
Director : Garry Marshall
Running Time : 114 mins

Princess Mia (Hathaway) of Genovia has just turned twenty-one and is now eligible to ascend the throne as queen, but the cunning Viscount Mabrey (Rhys-Davies) has found a loophole that means that if Mia doesn’t marry within thirty days, his nephew Nicholas Devereaux (Pine) can take the throne in Mia’s place. So Mia and her entourage set about trying to find a prince for the princess.

This is a pretty predictable sequel to the popular original movie, and if you manage to watch this and not predict who Mia gets together with then you are pretty feeble minded. I did prefer the original which had more of an innocence to it, whereas this basically embellishes on the fact that, even after five years, Mia is still a klutz. Fans of the original will like this, but it is pretty much a movie for teenage girls and few others will find anything to enjoy.
