Reviews for Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
Top CriticUnlikely to appeal to anyone, regardless of their thoughts on the first film.

A chocolate-box sequel whose rose-tinted view of constitutional monarchy will provoke hoots of derision this side of the pond.
10/19/04
Top CriticConstantly opts for contrived cheesiness, slathering on the cuteness with a trowel.
09/19/04
Definitely appealed to my inner 12-year-old self.
08/13/04
Offers enough glossy good cheer to appeal to everyone.
08/11/04
The Princess Diaries 2 may not be quite fit for royalty, but it doesn't make viewers feel as if they've been sent to a dungeon either.
08/11/04
The real treat, though, is seeing Anne Hathaway come into her own as an actress. Able to play both drama and broad comedy, she really carries the film on her shoulders.
08/11/04
A movie that proves fairy tales can come true ... twice.
08/11/04
Ought to charm its loyal subjects, or at least their less demanding little sisters.
08/11/04
Would succeed with the pre-teen set; nothing here for adults.
08/12/04
'Runaway Bride' moved from rural Maryland to the mock-European setting of Genovia... It's a triple-deluxe marshmallow sundae of a movie, and that's exactly as it should be.
08/10/04
The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement picks up right where the 2001 hit original left off -- not only in its story line, but in its appeal to young girls.
08/11/04
If I were a young girl between 6 to 16 years old, I'd find this a perfectly enjoyable movie.
08/16/04
[A] needless but charming sequel.
08/26/04
With the chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews he discovered in the first film, Marshall would have needed superhuman effort to screw up their appeal.
08/11/04
Starts out rather awkwardly but succeeds almost in spite of itself.
08/11/04
Simple romantic fluff that at least doesn't shortchange its target audience in the usual condescending manner.
08/18/04
Sure, the characters are very basic, the situation has been seen before and you can practically write the script from frame one. But that doesn’t stop it from working.
