The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement

Okay, I get that I'm not the target audience for this kind of thing. Even so... holy crap. What a lazy, idiotic, unfunny movie. Anne Hathaway is even more obnoxious than last time, and Julie Andrews looks bored out of her mind. Little girls deserve better movies than this.

What a terrible sequel. It loses all the charm and real worldness of the original and plays out like a young girls empowerment Disney channel TV movie. The whole thing is just so dumbed down and unfunny, filled with shameless plugs for Disney stars and kills most of the depth that any of the characters from the first film had.

Still cute, and with delightful messages. But, pretty predictable, and there were a few things that didn't seem to be quite in character for some of the returning people.

Mildly entertaining but nowhere near as good as the first film.

All I can say is I'm not in the target audience.

Notably weaker than the original. PD1 weren’t high art by any means, but it at least gave us an attempt at a character arc and the fish out of water aspect with European royalty in America etc. This is one is all just “what if YOU lived in a castle and were rich and had a walk in closet and prince suitors and parties!!” wish fulfillment for lil girls. It’s almost like Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette minus the satire and proletariat uprising.

Seeing as I'm not a 10 year old girl probably adds to the low rating of this.

Offers nothing new. Only boring and silly, again.

Putrid, awful, and bad.

Great movie night with your daughter

It's definitely inferior to the original, and while it makes an admirable effort at the whole "girl power" message, it suffers greatly. They probably shouldn't have tried to make a sequel that had nothing to do with the original books.

Please don't see this movie. Predictable, not funny, not cute. Just bad.

Really good for girls.

Charming movie. Great for Mom's date with daughter. :)

Why is this a movie?

Filmes da ilha deserta #1 Olha, nunca vi o primeiro, mas esse aqui é atroz. Cruzes. TV aberta.

Not as good as the first one but still a BANGER

Squeaks by on the inherent likability of its cast (Andrews doesn't even need a sow's ear to make a silk purse at this stage), but this ultimately falls afoul of its own irrelevancy and redundancy, creating contrived and false drama which cannot sustain itself for the two hour running time. Hathaway tries her best, and Elizondo and Andrews make for an unexpectedly cute couple, but this fails to recapture even the modest spark of Part 1.

it was hard to tell at the time if I was aging out of the target audience or if things were just getting worse.

Prenses, Chris Pine'a aşık olursa. Okulu bitiren prenses, saraya yerleşir. Kraliçe'nin görevi bitmesi sonucu, prenses'in tahta geçmesi için evlenmesi gerekmektedir. 30 gün içinde evlenecek olan prenses, Chris düküne aşık olur. Komik olmaktan çok eğlenceli. Anne Hathaway ve Julie Andrews'in elektriği harika. Chris Pine'da iyi seçim. Filmin sonunda, kraliçe oluyor. Bu akşam sendeyiz kraliçe.

I enjoyed The Princess Diaries way back when, and watching this sequel all these years later I'm starting to doubt my fondness of the former. The plot of Royal Engagement is an un-ironic mix of female empowerment and clichéd RomCom, with the added kitsch of Disney channel song numbers. That said, the film isn't completely joyless. While a lot of the comedy falls flat, Pine and Andrews do a good job, and the handmaids are delightful.

Not nearly as good as the first movie. The plot just doesn't make any sense. Why is this the first we've heard of this law? Why is it only for new queens? We aren't really told any of this we just move forward treating this as a serious issue. The movie also drags the issue out longer than it needs to. I mean don't get me wrong as a light-hearted romantic-ish comedy it will entertain, but it will probably also disappoint you. It really needed more Joe, but his happy ending made me happy.

This was just not meant for me.

Even Andrews and Hathaway can only do so much. The movie is painfully boring and preposterous.

This movie proves that Disney sequels are not as good as the original. The jokes were pretty flat and the writing made me cringe at times. It was nice to see Hathaway and Andrews return but I could have done without the annoying best friend character played by Heather Matarazzo. It's really not her fault, her character is just one of the most annoyingly written character's I've seen. I was surprised to see Chris Pine, he was good but his hair made him hard to take seriously. Sad sequel for sure.

Not as good as the original. But it might have also kicked her out of the Disney club, so thats good for us. Yay Anne.

Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews bring charm and elegance to the movie, but there's not enough material for them to work with in this sequel.

"Tiresomely plot-driven and unnecessarily drawn-out, Royal Engagement is the prim and proper cousin to its comparatively anarchic predecessor." - Ed Gonzalez

just as good as the first although i could've been fine without Raven Symone in the film

Terribly disappointing after the first one.

It's your typical teen disney type young girl movie. I am a man. A manly man with a bead. Hathaway is a babe though.

Sister made me watch it...GAH!

Boring sequel. Thumbs down.

Love this film good and funny!

bad movie

I'm a sucker for cute romantic films with hot chicks in them.

Horrible sequel. Should have been sooner and should have been better.

I'm sorry I saw it, late night cable and unplanned insomnia were responsible.

No thanks

Not good as first movie ..

Not as good as the first and pretty predictable.

For what it was a good flick.

very enertaining

Not as bad as I thought it would be, but still pretty bad.

if i thought the first movie was a travesty of the books then this was just excrement
