The Princess Diaries was a surprising winner at the box office when it released in 2001, garnering a whopping $100 million. Viewers fell in love with Mia, the geeky teen with below average looks and clumsy moves who finds out shes the princess of Genovia and under the watchful eye of her Royal grandma, Queen Clarisse, transforms into a classic beauty. The sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement is a result of viewers love and craving for more about Mia.
Mias story in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement movie is taken up close to six years down the line by which time she gains a graduate degree and comes home to Genovia. In anticipation of her 21st birthday, Queen Clarisse makes up her mind to hand over her crown to Mia. Things then start to get complicated with Viscount Mabrey claiming that his nephew is the rightful heir to the throne and the parliament declaring that they will not allow an old rule ” that a queen must be married ” to be broken.
The clumsy princess is left with just one month to find herself a suitable husband, while constantly working to win over the loyalty and love of the Genovians and simultaneously dealing with the predatory paparazzi. Complicating matters further is the princess growing attraction toward the very nephew who threatens to take over the throne, Nicholas (Chris Pine). The addition of a perfect candidate for the role of consort in the form of an Englishman (Callum Blue) makes it harder still for Mia to decide between the love of her life and the love of her country.
Both Anne Hathaway as Mia and Julie Andrews as Queen Clarisse continue to mesmerize and entertain the audience thoroughly. The rest of the cast as well as director Gary Marshall strive to make a film thats good fun if devoid of lasting life influencing philosophy. Its a great movie for easing the stress of reality and allowing you to get lost in the romantic world of Genovia for a short while.
The movie will most definitely be enjoyed by women of all ages and young men as well, especially those with a romantic heart. Whether the gentlemen will be brave enough to admit they enjoyed the movie is a different story altogether. The princess is modern and independent in her thinking and miles away from the traditional damsel in distress kind of fairy tale character.
