A movie commentary and reaction for The Princess Diaries is very much welcomed for our next princess movie. We thought it would be maybe ok or good, but it turned out to be spectacular! An absolute banger that might just be Disney's best live action Princess movie ever!

Fun fact: the filmmakers asked author Meg Cabot whether it was okay that Mia's dad would be dead in the film and his lines given to the grandmother, because they had a big actress in mind. She asked who, and they replied Julie Andrews, to which she said, "Oh my God, kill the dad!"
Amazing fact
I love Julie Andrews, just wish they'd changed more things so they made sense! That Mia's father wasn't just a prince but the king after his father died (as his mother was only queen by marriage) even if he didn't get crowned before he himself died. I know the US gets royalty things wrong more often then they get it right, but the fact he was never considered a king bugged the hell out of me in both movies ;P
There's a book? Now the title makes sense.
@@DAMIENDMILLS It's a whole series.
In the flashback with Mia's father, that was Anne's real life father. In the second movie, the choir director was her real life mother. Fun facts.
Trivia: Anne got this part because she walked in to the audition room and when she sat down she missed the chair and fell down and the cast people said "thats her"
LOVE THAT LMFAO
Omg that makes sense her clumsiness never left her, she broke one of those hella expensive cameras on Batman lol
that's adorable
@@boniboni4912 Well, Nolan also basically squished an iMAX camera, so...
The fall of the metal bleachers wasn’t supposed to happen she actually slipped and the director decided to keep it in 💀💀
I do love that this movie actually shows how a normal teenager would react to this WILD situation: “Me? A princess? Shut up!”
Yeah, agreed 😊 - Sam
Exactly! As a teen, I would've already been terrified if someone said that to me, and now as an adult, I'd literally run away without looking back LOL
true but I never understood why she was so against being a princess at first. I would have been so down.
@@sinabonz8108 Well, she's incredibly shy/invisible and ruling a country is something she really does not want to do because of that haha. She's comfortable being super introverted.
@@digitalbritt2k true, when me and my friends first saw this movie we would talk about how we wished that would happen to us but we didn’t really take into account all the responsibility
The real heroes of this movie are the Prime Minister and his wife.
The ice cream part is so good
They are the true ride or dies
@@kindle9920Such an underrated friendship we needed more of!
“Did you know Anne Hathaway actually fell on those bleachers” is the “did you know Viggo Mortinson actually broke his toe here” of the Princess Diaries
😁😁😁 I can confirm
Yeah… I honestly *really* don’t like those copypasted “fun fact” comments 😂
@@qdkdicja10 but they're fun
I knew it looked too real
@@victoriabryer4710 and so factual!
Okay, now you have to watch the sequel. It's even better, and it has Chris Pine.
By “better” you mean “easier to make fun of”, right?
Planning on it 😊 - Sam
Neat, while it's mediocre compared to the original, I really hope that they review it!
@@SessVlogs Pretty much lol. I actually enjoy it more, though
Love both
To be fair to the princess, she asked the guy if it was a date. He said no. She had no reason to think otherwise.
I mean it was pretty obvious hence why she felt so bad but it doesn't matter
@@JazMegan true, but she was a dorky teenage girl. Kind of a good time to be oblivious. At least that was my experience. The one time a guy had a crush on me, I only found out a year later.
100% this. She asked, he said no, so she rescheduled their hang out. Bad that she didn't reschedule Lily ✨
@@heartdragon2386 I can relate, I missed a lot of signals from interested guy friends in high-school because I wasn't interested in them 😬
@@TheCrayonMaster I missed them because I didn't think they'd be interested in me, lol. I was a bit of a nerd., and awkward is an understatement.
“Gupta…mhmm…mhmm…mhmm…the Queen is coming”. I love Sandra Oh in this. Small role, few lines, but hilarious.
i thought i was the only one who randomly quotes it 😂 idk what’s so iconic about it, but it is for some reason lol
I quote this unironically on a weekly.
Its a popular tik tok challenge
Sandra Oh is hilarious
I can’t believe I’m just realising now that she was referring to herself when she said Gupta
Julie Andrews as the Queen, taking away the reporter's mic and putting it in his other hand and away from her is such a power move
I think she puts it in his suit jacket pocket!!
Lmfao wait where??
My favorite moment in this movie is and always will be Julie Andrews “shlumping” during the posture lesson. 😄
I love her posture when she says that
Same 😂
That part always makes me cackle!
“We don’t _SCHLUMP_ like this!”
Julie Andrews acting and walk when she goes "We don't schulp like this" will never fail to make me giggle
That and the "thank you for being here today"-wave that they give when Joe has to go xD
Fun fact: Joe is the voice of Wan Shi Tong (the owl in the library) in Avatar!
WHAT????? How did I not realize? I've watched both this movie and Avatar since I was a child
Woah makes perfect sense!
no wayyyy
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS.
I remember recognizing his voice right away when I was a kid.
That slip on the bleachers was real and Anne Hathaway kept going so did everyone else and they kept it in! Another one of my favourties!! Always loved her transformation from being a nervous public speaker to giving a damn good speech in front of royalty/politicians!
That's so funny lol!!! It looked painful though lmfao...
Its amazing how speaking from your heart can make the nerves go away when publicly speaking ❤
You can see her rubbing the back of her thigh through the skirt after Lily leaves and she starts heading back up them.
Julie Andrews absolutely CARRIED this movie
I agree, and arguably the sequel as well!
I think the other actors did their job very well.
@@moonlitskylight5740 i definitely agree but I just love Julie Andrews so maybe im biased
@@Cauti0nSeaman It's okay. She is awesome and I'm glad she didn't act like the grandma in the book.
@@moonlitskylight5740 how did the grandma act in the book ive only ever saw the movie?
I still can't believe that Lily says the line to Mia about being "over" her dad's death because "it's been like two months" like are you actually kidding me?? Who says shit like that? To their supposed best friend no less!
Right!? That part always makes me want to go off on her.
You would be surprised! My mom passed away when I was eleven. I used to live with my grandma and mom, and grandma had passed away that same year. It sucked. Anyways, I was clinging to my aunt, still crying for everything, and my aunt just goes "Potatosaurus, you're gonna need to stop crying, *it's already been two months* , that's what duel is supposed to last. Tears won't bring them back, it will only give you a runny nose, and I don't want more snots on my clothes". She's always been a though love kind of person, and I get nowadays where she was coming from, but it really broke me at the time. People can be cluelessly cruel
@@apotatosaurus7890 Oh my god that's horrible, I cannot fathom being told that, ESPECIALLY at 11! I will admit that as a kid, I hadn't had anyone I was super close with pass away, so the line didn't even really register to me until I was older, and I remember the first time I rewatched the movie and heard her say that I had to rewind and make sure I had heard it right!
@@GallifrAngel Thankfully, you didn't have to experience such a thing while you were young. You're never really ready tho, and as years pass by I get to understand her a little more, she had lost her sister and mom too. Obviously, Lily lacked that shared grief, but I believe that was her way to cheer Mia up: "Hey, you've been really down for the death of your dad... And I mean, I kinda get it since is your dad and all, but he's never really been part of your life, so I don't know what I should do to help you move on... Still, you surely are better now than two months ago, right?" kinda thing (?) Idk, the girl was 15 so imma rate it a 6.5/10
Lily is a horrible friend.
I have a half baked theory that this whole movie was written by the neighbour who witnessed some of the bizarre things that happened outside Mia's house in this movie cause everytime we see him he's outside writing.
Imagine a reboot and its all from his mind
Another difference: the movie Grandmother is a Saint compared to the books. In the books, SHE was the one that told the press that Mia was a princess, not her stylist.
I mean, if you got Julie Andrews portray the Queen, she has to be a Saint lol
Wait, THERE’S A BOOK??? Imma read it
@@katerinearcila1358 there's 6, actually
@@videohistory722 what???? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS??? I’m reading all of them
Damn
My only complaint is that so many "makeovers" in movies take a lovely curly-haired girl and turn her into a lovely straight-haired girl, why can't curly hair get more love?! It just needs more conditioner, it's not a character flaw!
I think it was just the style for the 2000s but I agree. Give the curls some love.
And the glasses! As if glasses make you less of a person
Fun fact: Anne Hathaway fell from her chair when she was doing the audition for Princess Diaries and that's how she got the part. They said because Mia was supposed to be very clumsy, they thought it would be a perfect fit and yes, she did actually fall on those bleachers for real. Also when she accidently lit the mans sleeve on fire, it was supposed to go out after putting it into the ice bucket but it didn't, so that was also a blooper they kept in :)
oh man, the books are so good. like, completely the opposite direction of the movies and yet disney managed to capture the energy really well. Mia's dad is alive in the books and rendered sterile by testicular cancer treatments, so she does have an established relationship with her royal side of the family at the start and her father is in her life, but her grandmother is awful. Like, chainsmoking, 30's pencil eyebrows, has a shaky overbred toy poodle named after a US WWII general, throws constant shade at Mia's mom, etc. Mia's dad bribes Mia into taking princess lessons by donating $100 a day to Greenpeace.
it's a really interesting study of stylistic choices informing character too. late in the series, Mia is diagnosed with depression and goes to therapy and they kinda re-examine the events of the books thru the lens of how depression operates. her highs and lows are a lot more purposeful than they appear, even with the extreme pressure of a royal appointment. that one hadn't been released at the time of making the movie. i'm not sure it would have changed much because 2001 was not an era that understood mental health wealth. and the books do take place in NYC! lol i have no idea why disney changed it to SF
If I'm remembering correctly, the director Garry Marshall changed it to San Francisco because he grew up there. If you have the DVD, there's a commentary by the director on it. I must of watched the commentary track at least a dozen of times.
Wow, I've never read the books so I didn't know they were SO different. Now I actually want to read them.
@@jazflanagan8693 i hope you do! from what I remember, it was a really fun series that also had some stuff to say. the books were more political, mia had a larger friend base who were good characters in their own right, and the story grows up as the books progress. it even goes deeper into lana's character.
@@TiffanyVenus no, i only watched the movie a couple of times with my cousin back when it came out.
@@jazflanagan8693 They're a lot of fun! ☺️
My favourite line has always been " I wouId Iike to propose a toast...
to the Baroness and Baron Von Troken.
May you aIways be Baron." Never fails to make me laugh LOL
Me too. I didn't get it as a kid, and I grew up and I laugh harder now. That's a burn.
There was actually a double meaning. May you always be Baron - yes, but also barren, as in produce no heirs who could take the throne
"Because that's what every single teenager wants. Someone to analyze them up and down and point out all their physical flaws." And this is why you get Mary Poppins to deliver it. It will suddenly seem totally reasonable and will raise your self-esteem, somehow. 🤔
i mean if Julie andrews came to me as a teenage and told me i was a princess and gave me a makeup - i wouldnt hesitate
Fun fact: in the scene where Mia reads the letter from her father, the man writing the letter by the water is actually Anne Hathaway's dad in real life, same thing in the photo.
I adore this movie immensely, and can't believe it's already 20 years old! All of the actors were exactly the way I'd envisioned the characters when reading the books. It was also fun seeing Sandra Oh pop up as the principal!
Just curious how you imagined grandma as someone like Julie Andrews when in the book "Grandmére" was pretty much an irredeemable bitch with tattooed eyeliner? :D They changed the character completely for this adaptation. I never read the sequel books though.
@@Spiralobsession yup! also mia has short blonde hair 😅
Really? The grandmother especially was NOTHING like her book counterpart imo.
I loved with how kind and understanding you both were while talking about this movie! It's been one of my comfort movies since I was little. I also loved that you guys said that the makeover scene wasn't necessary. That stereotype that curly hair and big brows and glasses make you ugly is so damaging, and it's definitely dated, but I get what they were doing. I went through a similar makeover during the summer when I was in high school (I've been told a couple of times that I look a bit like Anne Hathaway), changed glasses, did my brows, cut my hair, bought new clothes, and the next year literally my friends passed by me and didn't recognize me, I was the ugly duckling before.
Also, the cat was actually Anne Hathaway's cat, that's why he's so chill. And that scene where she fell down in the bleachers wasn't scripted, I'm sure so many people have already pointed it out, it's like the Aragorn and the helmet scene xD
Hope you guys watch the sequel!
I haven’t seen LOTR in awhile! What was the Aragorn and helmet scene? 😳
@@SusanaCanales1 When Aragorn kicks a helmet and yells because the actor actually broke his foot on it
@@EmmaThw no way! Jeez! And he kept acting anyway?
Tbh all she needed was a good curly hair routine
30:19 thats actually a common thing among royals to do. If a guest or the royal themselves embarrasses themselves, do the thing too to take the attention off of them.
There's a story that Queen Elizabeth had a dinner with African leaders, and when they were brought lemon water to dip their fingers, they thought it was for drinking, and did so. The queen then proceeded to do the same thing too.
I kinda love that, thanks for sharing this fact.
When I found out Whitney Houston produced this movie I understood why it was so well made even more.
29:12 I went to middle school with that girl, the year I moved to San Francisco. She didn’t really get to enjoy the fact that she got a speaking role in the movie; she’s Hector (Joe) Elizondo’s niece, so of course all the petty teenagers in school just gave her a hard time about “getting things handed to her” by her famous relative. We were almost friends-I and several others tried to get closer, to form genuine friendships-but I think she was too afraid of people taking advantage. Juliet, wherever you are, I hope things got better for you.
I always loved how supportive were the people in this movie, the prime minister and his wife, Joe, the assistant. It was so refreshing to watch it as a kid
Fun fact, one of the cats who played Fat Louie was Anne Hathaway’s very own cat.
Gosh the amount of "oohs and ahhs" when a curly haired person has straight hair is hilarious. 😅
I think though it's because of the change. She's a character that's being bullied. It's an obvious change that now can be used to further the bullying by making you feel ashamed that you tried something different. Like you aren't good enough to look better/change style. Unfortunately that is a real thing :/
"there's no I in team but there is in piss off" 😂😂😂 I need to use that cause thats too fucking good!
Literally GOLD
I'm loving how the adults in this movie are cool. No ones forcing her to do things, they actually talk to her about stuff and give her a choice. Plus the addition of the teachers helping getting her away from the media. It's just nice to see a movie where everyone doesnt completely suck and doesnt care about the main characters feelings.
The director for this movie created such a good atmosphere for the cast and crew especially since they were working with young people. They had birthday parties and fun activities on set so everyone could bond. Also, Whitney Houston produced both movies.
Another fun fact: the actor that plays Michael comes from Hollywood royalty, he is a member of the Coppola family.
The Joe and Clarisse plot line is my favorite part of these movies
They're the cutest
My ONLY favourite plot line 😅
the fact that they called Michael "Ringo" and "Side burns" 💀
I went to a catholic school with uniforms. All the kids knew how to get around the dress code without breaking the dress code.
The girls and guys would roll the bottom of our shirts to make them looked tucked in, girls rolled up their skirts to make them short but not too short, and socks were ankle height but just BARELY. Rebels lol
To this day, I'm still incredibly jealous of Mia's home with her pole and 'tower' 😩
I rewinded the "he's not pierced, tattooed..." part so many times to see the look on their faces. 😂
Yeah that got my attention too. My first thought was her ex was legit prince she probably likes the nice clean cut guy
Not the cursed image of Dylan 😭
I like the fact that you guys aren't dismissive of "girly media" or whatever that means
They’ve straight up made it their brand at this point and we are here for it
Honestly, as a man I grew up with this movies and never saw it as weird.
@David Konevky
Thank you, it's a story revolving around different themes doesn't mean men can't enjoy it
I always hated even the face of that "cool guy"... he's so sleazy. He really SOLD it the best. Hated his guts since the first time saw the movie :D
P.S.: this movie is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for reacting and bringing back so many great memories ^_^
Same with the main mean girl, hated her guts but that's her selling it good!
@@JazMegan I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to look past the fact that it was Mandy Moore (hard to look past that if you’ve watched her in her main roles first) but she’s so good at acting the mean girl that I completely forgot it was her lol
That's Erik Von Detten. He was very popular around the late 90s early 00s. Fun fact, he doesn't act anymore!
I love the “It happens all the time line,” it’s a call out to a scene from Pretty Woman, which is another Garry Marshall film
It's the same actor as well 😄 (I wondered and googled it haha)
And it’s used again in princess Diaries Royal Engagement and Gary Marshall used the same actor all 3 times.
Ohhhh! I knew it was familiar! I saw princess diaries before I saw pretty woman and when I saw that scene in PW, I was like, “hey! That’s just like PD!” This is good to know lol my feelings were on the money.
@@hleebeg lol! Nice! I thought so too, when I watched pretty woman for the 3rd time and paid more attention to that scene.
I always quote the "not you I don't even know you!" And no one ever gets it lmao
That is my favorite quote from the movie 😂
I say this too often 😂 you're right, no one ever gets the reference lol
"Hey teach, how you doing? Are you married? You wanna be married?" sorry but that was smooth hahhahaha
And with this movie I realize my love for Julie Andrews
15:43 Random thought here: From my experience, whenever a guy went "Hey __ likes you!" I never took it serious because it seemed like they were just saying that to embarrass their friend so it didn't seem genuine. Like it was a joke to make fun of him and sometimes it strangely felt they were also making fun of me. Kinda as if part of the joke was "haha let's see if she believes it". That was my experience since it would happen with guys I didn't really know and sometimes it was just a joke. If your friend actually liked me, have him say it himself don't yell it at me as I'm walking to class or something. That was my rambling Ted Talk, thank you. Btw, nice videos buds :)
Same here, but since I was a fat kid at school I thought they were saying this to mock me instead, pretending a friend was interested in me so that I would believe it and then they'd laugh etc. Which did happen a couple of times, so bc of that, I just rejected every single time someone said "hey, my friend ___ likes you", because I immediately assumed it was a joke on me and I couldn't show signs of weakness or it'd be worse.
This led me to even nowadays as an adult, always believe people are mocking me when they show signs of romantic interest. So I immediately reject even now, idk why, I just have a hard time believing someone would do it seriously.
@@heyitsmira17 thankfully, this didn’t happen to me, but, I am the same way in regards to feelings directed at me, especially as someone who was also one of the fat kids growing up. My first thought isn’t like, “oh my god, they like me!” More like, “……..why…?” And that’s assuming I believe them lol I never like them back anyway, but even if I did, I don’t think I’d accept it, because, my low self esteem just thinks that they don’t actually like me or if they do, it won’t last long. But yes. I know what you mean. I can never truly comprehend why someone would like me, physical looks aside. It just confuses me lol
man now im older i realised how cool and hot the red haired guy is. The movie really made us think that he was a loser. same thing with Mia's hair, its always been pretty
Anne and Julie were MADE for this movie like I can’t even imagine any one else. Also about the cucumbers they really don’t do anything however the coolness can help with eye bags/puffiness, it also just feels good lol
ok but as much as i love this movie, looking back on it, i really hate the makeover scene / theme that teens especially are exposed to. being shown that you aren't 'beautiful' because of your frizzy hair or thick eyebrows is such a damaging thing for a younger audience.
that’s what i’m saying! and she’s only 15, so people at that age are at their peak. hate to sound like i’m milking this, but what makes a person so beautiful is they have a genuine approach to them like concerning for others that they care about. and if they’re lucky enough to be equally blessed with good looks, then that’s just a bonus. but overall, their good natured quality over shines everything else. period.
Especially since she actually does look beautiful with frizzy hair and thick eyebrows.
Yeah and the whole "you can't be pretty if you wear glasses" trope pisses me off because I wear glasses 💀
Honestly with that frizzy hair all she needed was curls serum to really bring them out and they would have look gorgeous.
It's the only setback, but it's also understandable... Especially for those times and it being a Disney movie.
this vid just dropped at 2am so guess who's gonna be up until 3? I ALMOST LITERALLY YELLED SEEING THE TITLE
Hahah me too! I got home from work just in time! The excitement is real.
Haha, hope you still sleep good tho aye 😆 - Sam
I was watching a guy feeding a seagull, i can watch that later because of this
I’m very happy we’re more entertaining than that 👍😂 - Sam
Lmao, youtube recommendet that seagull to me too 😂
@@themoviebudz1988 🤣🤣🤣
It’s babies were pretty cute
Of course princess diaries is top tier when Gary Marshall and Whitney Houston are at the helm. This was my entire childhood I had two vhs of this cause I watched the first one so much it got messed up.
Hahahaha same, i had the vhs because i watched it all the time 😂❤️
This is one of the first DVDs I ever watched
the thing with these types of Disney movies is that when you are surprised at how well written the plot or characters are it's because most of the times they're based on books. this is one of those cases.

I still quote "thank you for being here today" with the hand motion, even 20 years later. lol
you are not alone! haha
haha always
same
Guys, btw when she fell on the bleachers, that was not scripted, she fell, but continued the scene.
Just more proof that she's an amazing actress.
Thanks for standing up for curly hair. It always annoyed me that he got shocked that the brush broke off. You're supposed to only brush it when it's wet. And, yeah, I feel they balance Lily's personality a lot more in the movies than in the books and she's a lot more likable. In the books she was horrid.
She's truly horrid in the books. It really put me off her character and the books in general lily is so bad..
@@seeing8spots Yup. She went too far in one of the books that I honestly hoped Mia broke off her friendship with her completely. But they probably did make up.

Also, I have to say I really love how most of the adults actually are trying to help Mia out, protect her, back her up, etc. I don't see a lot of teen movies doing that.
I would like to recommend A Walk To Remember, Mandy Moore is the protagonist. It's a great movie.
Yesssssssssssssssss
I love that darn movie
I love that movie ♥♥♥♥♥
Yes!
Yessss
I will never forget.
When I was in 4th grade (long ago) we had an officious, awful teacher. One sweet girl in the class jumped up out of her desk and started heading to the door (the bathrooms were accessed out in the hall) and the teacher stopped her and demanded she come ask for permission to go. She was in front of the teachers desk and she said, "May I please ..." and that was as far as she got before she spewed across the teachers desk and all over the teacher.
I'm sure it was mightily embarrassing for her to have thrown up in front of the class, be we all cheered in that moment, and she was hailed a hero as that is what we thought the teacher had coming to her and exactly what she deserved.
A little trivia: the guy that plays Michael is the cousin of Nicolas Cage.
Oh my God, I was thinking he looks like someone but couldn't place who, and now with this information I've realized that I was thinking about Jason Schwartzman; who's also a hidden Coppola.
The movie has some deleted scenes between Michael and Mia that set up a romantic connection, and I get why they cut the scenes but I wished they stayed in because it would’ve solidified the connection before the whole Josh at the beach thing. Great reaction, as always!
Awh I wanna see those now! I really liked the Michael/Mia plot and always wished they’d fleshed that out more
@@shannonceleste5557 For sure! I haven’t read the books yet, but apparently there’s lots of Michael/Mia content to enjoy there
Yes, the books do explore them more and it's lovely. I am hoping if a sequel is ever made, Chris Pine character is ditched and Mia ends reuniting with Michael, and it's something that will also make sense book wise actually.
i could probably listen to hours of stef speaking italian
fun fact: anne hathaway slipping on the bleachers wasn't scripted that's why the other actors were concerned but they just continued with the scene
I forgot how embarrassing Mia was in the beginning of this movie 😂😂
The cucumber thing is real. It's to reduce puffiness.
Yes, but look who was talking about it in the movie. We cannot trust THAT hairdresser. haha
The gym teacher is Mindy Burbano. She is married...to a billionaire. Lilly 's brother Michael is played by Robert Schwartzman, singer of the band Rooney, brother of actor/musician Jason Schwartzman, nephew of Francid Ford Coppola and cousin of Nick Cage. So, he knows people.
Anne's fall on the bleachers was an accident but she stayed in character so they kept it.
As someone with severe anxiety and depression for over a decade, public speaking does not always get better over time and can absolutely get worse over time if forced.
Thank you, I fully agree 👏🏼👏🏼
Unfortunately true
Unfortunately true
Lilys Brother is actually the singer of the Band Rooney and since I know this, I've always "When did your heart go missing" stuck in my head when I watch that movie.
Ooo I’m here for Julie Andrews. “Goodbye trolly people!” Lol
The writer neighbor is honestly my favorite character in the whole movie.
your reactions at 15:53 when she breaks the statue have me dead omg xD
Fun Fact: Robert Schwartzman's character, Michael, her love interest in this movie is actually a musician on a band that has been pretty popular called "ROONEY". Their first album got pretty famous after doing an episode on the Series The O.C.
Sandra Oh is lowkey the MVP of this movie.
i had really bad anxiety today and once i got the notif that my fav commentary channel reacted to my comfort movie, my mood was immediately lifted. thank you for this.
18:52 😂 ah my soy nuts 🤣 I was not prepared lol had to pause it for a hysterics break 🤣
Joe is by far the BEST character in this movie :D
Ugh the sequel is SO good. Chris Pine is so underrated and he is wonderful in that movie.
The sequel would have been a lot better though if they had filmed in an actual European town instead of an outdoor set.
@@robertgronewold3326 I would have to agree with that haha, still like the plot though otherwise.
I remember I read the entire book series and when the movie came out finding it charming but very different from the books so I was 50/50 on it. Looking back though it was a GREAT movie and the main theme of forging your own path is still very present.
fun fact though: in the books Mia's father is very much alive, he just had cancer and can't have any kids bc of it, so Mia is his only biological child and therefore the only possible heir.
Actually Mia has a younger sister in a spinoff book series.

Is there any chance of you reacting to Bridget Jones Diaries? This movie and Princess diaries absolutely CARRIED the 2000s
Oh my god yes! Princess Diaries, Bridget Jones and also Legally Blonde, the trio of iconic 2001 movies!
Oh that would be amazing!
Omg yes!
oh my goddddd, bridget jones is everything! I LIKE YOU JUST AS YOU ARE? WHAT THE FUCK? iconic
This is one of my main comfort movies. It speaks to me at every stage of life in a totally different way.
Always the mark of a great movie 😊 - Stef
Little fun fact:
The woman who plays Charlotte is Kathleen Marshall, Garry Marshall's daughter and the guy who plays the paparazzi guy who says "we're waiting for you" is Scott Marshall, Garry's son who is also a director. Garry was always known for including his family in his projects. Also 28:28 was not scripted. Anne actually did slip and fall on her butt and it was kept in.
14:23 "hey teach, married, want to be married?" I can relate 😂
I can't stop thinking about young Robert Schwartzman being the male version of Anne Hathaway 🤣🤣🤣 Especially in the beginning of the movie.
I love how you two are so pissed off at the parental figures in the film like RELATABLE.
I mean, honestly, who wasn't? 😆 - Stef
How have I never noticed that my mum has the exact same tea set as queen Julie Andrews in this movie 😅
That thing about uniforms is so true. My middle school in NY had to wear uniforms (bc it was charter which is like a mix between public and private- its free but you have to take entrance exams to get in usually) and it was so obvious that the kids like me who were poor had like two uniforms that i had to cycle through not to mention the school decided to change the uniform design the next year so everyone had to buy new ones. my single mom could not afford one shirt for $50 let alone a weeks worth for two children especially when we had a closet full of perfectly fine clothing. Oh and the overpriced gym uniforms too. It was a breeding ground for bullying and utter embarrassment.
Love this movie, it is also so rare but so gratifying to have a movie where 90% of the characters are good people just trying their best and who, despite making mistakes, do apologize and try to make up for them after realizing it. And even the remaining 10% of bad people are realistically bad instead of cackling, cartoonishly evil Disney villains.
I almost screamed at my laptop. One of my all time favorites. Watched it like 20 times probably...:D So excited that you guys are reacting to it....
I hear you Jenna, it’s such a great film! I honestly forgot how good it is 😋 - Sam
I love this movie. Especially because Anne Hathaway is mostly that clumsy and I am also clumsy. Her slipping while joe is playing basketball was a genuine accident and they kept rolling
Sandra Oh also played a teacher in one of my favourite early 2000s movies - it's called Big Fat Liar and it also has Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes
I would just like to say "softballs" are not soft lmao I have a photo from my first year of softball at 12yrs old with a FAT black eye from getting hit in the eye with a pitch, needless to say I always wore a face shield while up to bat after that🤣
Fun fact, the guy that plays Michael (Lilly’s brother) is the lead singer of the band Rooney. You may have heard their song “When Did Your Heart Go Missing?” 😊
Yesss I was hoping someone commented this. They use at least one of their songs in this too. I got to see them a few years ago and it was awesome.
Can I say that the hair reveal in the classroom is pretty accurate when you go to a small school 🤣 I had frizzy curly hair in middle school because I didn’t know how to do it and whenever I straightened it, everybody was so mesmerized and talking about it to me. Keep in mind I also went to a small, private, Catholic school so I kinda related to this scene 😆😆
7:42 "everyone is just so upset" "Im upset!" I related to this so much
I love the part when the lady sees the broken finger in the statue’s mouth and she’s like “it must be string cheese...” the detail in this movie- I never connected that the garden that the queen is discussing earlier on is the one at the end with all the lights
I would say Michael is more oof a George Harrison than a Ringo
If I remember correctly, in the books, the dad was still alive, but he found out he got cancer and it made it impossible to have any more children and so Mia had to become the heir.
The queen saying "Blaze on up!" when she's driving with her in the mustang, has become a family saying for much the same situation.
45:34 Highschoolers would be yelling "Lana got creamed!" and we all know it 😂
