Movie propaganda

To get the kingdom of Genovia... there's just a little hitch.

Where the smash hit The Princess diaries ended, the fun begins as Mia (Anne Hathaway) is ready to assume her role as princess of Genovia. But no sooner has she moved into the Royal Palace with her beautiful, wise grandmother, Queen Clarisse (Julie Andrews), than she learns her days as a princess are numbered - Mia's got to lose the tiara and immediately take the crown herself. As if getting ready to rule wasn't enough, the stakes for Mia have never been higher - with Genovian law stating that Princesses must be married before being crowned, Mia's in for a parade of suitors who'd all like to be her king. In the quest for a groom, comedy and complications rule the day.

Theatrical report

The Princess diaries 2: Royal engagement is a lacklustre sequel to a surprise hit. The plot never quite knows where it's going so ends up in a tangled mess. The characters are flabby. The accents are atrocious (apparently, everyone in Europe learns English by watching Friends). The production values are cardboard.

Yes, it's a Disney sequel but it should've gone straight to DVD. Watch Shrek 2 instead.
