Consensus: 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.
Theatrical Release:15-10-2004

Director: Garry Marshall
Sometimes charming, sometimes a tad too silly and all the time predictable, Princess Diaries 2 gives you what you'd expect and doesn't take many chances besides allowing for the possibility that a princess might be okay without a husband.
Panders to the worst traits in the target audience of spoiled third-grade girls.
Fans of the first Princess Diaries will find enough laughs and diamonds in the rough to sustain them.
Definitely appealed to my inner 12-year-old self.
Either Marshall is tone deaf to punch lines or he thinks audiences are, for nearly every gag...gets underscored at least twice.
Would succeed with the pre-teen set; nothing here for adults.
It's the movie equivalent of a sticker scrapbook filled with rainbows and unicorns, featuring guaranteed girl-pleasers like a princess, a romance and a slumber party.
Lazily plotted Bachelorette for tweens.
Lumpish excuse for a contemporary fairy tale.
There's no spark of life in the story; nothing that will charm kids and their parents.
A prime example of the "sequel slump"
This Princess falters before getting to the altar. Once that near-magical event happens (especially, if you're a little girl), the kingdom is enchanted once again.
Blows through the better stuff quickly and settles into a routine romance.
It delivers the same bland adolescent fluff and feel-good family values its predecessor provided...This could get interesting--but it doesn't, not really.
The film had a goofy sense of humor, some deft casting...and, best of all, a genuinely charming, star-making performance by Anne Hathaway in the lead role.
Mia is still better suited to the sensibilities of 5 year old girls than anyone else.

Top CriticPrincess Diaries 2 charts the selfish quest of a 21-year-old American to have-it-all.
There's not enough story in it to fill a shoebox.
Too blandly insubstantial to expand its appeal beyond its target demographic.
