Product Description
PRINCESS DIARIES 2 ROYAL ENGAGEMENT (DVD/FF 1.33/
Amazon.com
If you're a ten-year-old girl, this sequel to Disney's 2001 hit will completely transfix you. How could it not? Bubbly Mia (Anne Hathaway), the American teenager who in the first film learned she was actually European royalty, finishes college and--whoosh!--heads off to Genovia, where he's given a closet full of fabulous clothes and jewelry in preparation to rule the kingdom under the tutelage of grandmother Julie Andrews. Throw in a horse and a volatile but innocent romantic attraction to the dreamy young stud (Chris Pine) who's also vying for the throne, and you have the kind of stuff that prepubescent girls rhapsodize about at slumber parties. Oh--and there's a slumber party here, too, featuring a bevy of cute, international young princesses mattress-surfing down a giant slide. Resistance is futile. For the rest of us, though, director Garry Marshall has managed to make his Laverne & Shirley days seem positively Shakespearean in comparison. The movie is precious, padded (two hours!), and pandering twaddle; Andrews, in her role as Queen Mother, is even shoehorned into a faux-hip-hop duet with Disney Channel favorite Raven (one of many, many grueling moments intended to sell the soundtrack). Then the film takes a maddening left turn three-quarters of the way into the plot and decides that, despite all the preceding consumption and connubial fantasies to the contrary, it's really about feminine emancipation. But don't worry--what causes you to smack your forehead in frustration will go right over the heads of its hypnotized target market. --Steve Wiecking

 The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement January 9, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Mia has matured into a stunning, young woman and 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, than she soon 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. Princess Diaries 2 does incredible wonders to a person's attitude. A enchanting movie, that will keep you smiling.

The DVD was in good condition when I received the package. It also arrived very quickly. I will definitely recommend this seller.
...a truly royal engagement July 18, 2009
Jeffrey Klein (Ypsilanti, MI USA)
Unlike most sequels, this movie has enough of a different plot to be a nearly stand-alone movie. The characters are all believable enough to get lost in the story, and everything makes enough sense so older audiences aren't disappointed to have to "sit through" this movie.
Even though it is a Disney movie, and a "family film," this seems a lot more like a romantic comedy than anything. Fans of romcoms will be very pleased with everything except for some of the Raven-Simone parts of this movie. They are definitely the parts geared primarily for the younger viewers.
All in all, the movie is almost as good as the first one, but nowhere near as bad as most sequels are.

Loveed this film and am happy I now own it. Am an ardent Julie Andrews fan and wish I could own all her films. Have watched it several times all ready. She is as great an entertainer as always.
