Having watched the first Princess Diaries some years ago now, and really enjoyed it, I was quite happy to give the Princess Diaries 2 a go.
As with so many sequels, it's nothing like as good as the first. It's OK, just nothing special. Princess Mia (Hathaway) returns to Genovia, and, in order to become Queen, first has to get married. The plot is very predictable, and you'll know in the first scene how this is going to end.
None of this is to say the film is bad - it just doesn't have the wit or intelligence of the first movie. If you like your standard Hollywood rom-coms, this will do.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
