The Princess Diaries

ComedyFamilyRomance

Directed by Garry Marshall

A socially awkward but very bright 15-year-old girl being raised by a single mom discovers that she is the princess of a small European country because of the recent death of her long-absent father, who, unknown to her, was the crown prince of Genovia. She must make a choice between continuing the life of a San Francisco teen or stepping up to the throne. From TMDB

    On August 3, 2001 ‘The Princess Diaries’ hit US theaters. 👸🏻 The Disney comedy follows nerdy SF-based teen Mia Thermopolis (Ann Hathaway), who discovers she is the heir to the crown of Genovia and is thrust into preparations for royal life, coached by Queen Clarisse Renaldi (played by Julie Andrews).

    Remember being in the theater watch this and thinking "Wish they'd cast someone more interesting than The Princess Diaries chick for Selena" and then Hathaway neatly tucking the whole movie in her purse the moment the innocent act drops and she purrs "Oops."

    She's one of the few Disney princesses that has been able to get work as anything other than "good girl" roles. I remember reading that she tried really hard after the Princess Diaries to shake that persona and took a lot of roles that forced people to see her as a proper actress and not just a pretty girl.

    “Today” is a construct of linear time which if the movie Interstellar (2014 Christopher Nolan staring the lady from The Princess Diaries and Jennifer Lopez’s love interest in The Wedding Planner) taught me anything it’s that. Also never trust Matt Damon.
