Format:DVD
I first saw this gem of a film in Canada a year and a half ago. I loved it. So I bought it on DVD as soon as it was available because it was one of those films. The story of a bright but terribly shy and geeky school girl, Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway)whose only goal in life is just to survive a day at school with very little embarrassment as possible. Then one day, her wish to be invisible is suddenly put on hold when her strict grandmother (Julie Andrews) arrives into town and announces the shocking news that Mia is to become the next heir to the throne of Genovia. Furious and deeply shocked, Mia undergoes a comical transformation that sees her take 'princess lessons' and making the biggest decision of her life in the space of three weeks.
The scene where we see her managing at the dinner table among all of the guests of her grandmother is hillarious and Miss Hathaway proves she has comical ability. Newcomer Anne Hathaway is a delight as Mia who turns from shy school girl to gorgeous princess. I have to say that Julie Andrews graces the screen with such majesty and presence that she almost steals the film. A wonderful and delightful fairytale suitable for the whole family.

I originally bought this for my niece a while ago, who made me sit down and watch it, and I was expecting the usual horrific tweenage movie... but I was more than suprised! I absolutely adored the film, it was great escapism and the innocence of it was nice break from the movies that seemed to be aimed at that age group these days. It was so good I ended up purchasing it for myself.
Needless to say I went on to buy her the second one (and watch it myself) I'm intending to add that to my DVD collection too!

Format:VHS Tape
This is a charming, light hearted film that is fun for the whole family. It is a bit of fluff that tells the tale of a gawky and shy fifteen year old misfit named Mia, who is, in reality, princess of Genovia.
Mia, played with adolescent charm by beautiful newcomer, Anne Hathaway, is just another adolescent living in San Francisco with her artist mother, when her estranged, paternal grandmother, Queen of Genovia, swoops down on her and tells Mia that she is, in fact, a princess of royal blood and the next ruler of the kingdom of Genovia. Granny, regally played by the stately, always lovely, and seemingly ageless Julie Andrews, is determined to turn her awkward granddaughter into a princess worthy of her crown. Mia, a most reluctant royal, agrees to these "princess" lessons, and along the road to royalty learns a few hard lessons about growing up.
An excellent supporting cast, Hector Elizondo, Heather Matarazzo, Mandy Moore, Caroline Goodall, and Robert Schwartzman contribute to the charm of this film, which provides good, clean fun for the entire family.
