The Princess Diaries (Full Frame)
Academy Award Winner Julie Andrews, enchanting newcomer Anne Hathaway and Hector Elizondo (Pretty Woman) lead a charmed cast in Disney's The Princess Diaries, a hilarious, hip and heartwarming modern day Cinderella story. Mia Thermopolis (Hathaway) is a bright but terribly shy and gawky teenager whose goal in life is to survive each school day with a minimum of attention and embarrassment.
Unfortunately her wish to be invisible is thwarted when her estranged grandmother arrives and delivers the shocking news that she's a real-life princess - heir to the throne of Genovia! Furious and incredulous, the reluctant royal agrees to take "princess lessons" and make the biggest decision of her life - in three weeks. And so begins a comical transformation towards poise and princess-ness when she finds herself in the middle of a media storm, jealous schoolmates and a plot to take over her country. Funny, uplifting and affirming - your entire family will thoroughly enjoy this crown jewel.

a real family film... - tlefrancois
Granted this isn't the greatest movie in the world, but it is a great family movie that is upbeat and fun. There are not many movies out now that don't have sex, violence or foul language in it, so if you are looking for a movie you can let your kids watch and not have to worry, this is for you. Anne Hathaway is beautiful and does great leading one of her first movies. Julie Andrews gives a good performance as the queen, anyone would be lucky to have her as their grandmother. The plot line is simple. A 15-year-old girl finds out she is heir to a throne and the movie follows her with friends getting mad, people using her, love interests, etc... Enjoy the movie!Loved it - cherrypie5
You can't go wrong with this movie if you're into family commedies. I have to say though that the book and the movie are way different. Although the book is better in my opinion, this movie was still awesome. It's a modern day fairy tale that every girl would love.
