The Princess Diaries (P&S) (US Version) DVD Region 1

Teen actress Anne Hathaway gives an endearing performance in Garry Marshall's delightful Disney comedy, THE PRINCESS DIARIES. Assisted by such seasoned pros as Julie Andrews and Hector Elizondo (a Marshall regular), Hathaway shines here in her first major film role. She plays Mia, a high school misfit who has resigned herself to social invisibility. Mia and her best friend, Lilly (Heather Matarazzo), are outcasts. While Lilly relishes the role, Mia just wishes a cute popular boy she likes, Josh (Erik von Detten), would notice her. Mia's life changes dramatically when her grandmother (Andrews) contacts her and Mia finds out she is heir to the throne of Genovia, a small European country between France and Spain. The klutzy, socially awkward girl doesn't think she's up to the job, but she agrees to be coached in regal manners by her grandmother before deciding if she wants to become a princess. Marshall (PRETTY WOMAN) is clearly in his element directing this light, charming teen comedy. Andrews, perfectly cast as Queen Clarisse Renaldi, makes her character seem both imperious and caring. Hathaway's performance and the presence of teen pop star Mandy Moore assure that young girls, in particular, will enjoy the film.

Garry Marshall's THE PRINCESS DIARIES comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that doesn't preserve the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. An English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. Spanish subtitles are accessible, and the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include an audio commentary by director Garry Marshall, a second commentary track recorded by lead actresses Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews, deleted scenes introduced by the director, a making-of featurette, and a pair of music videos.

"...Andrews is ideal casting and refreshingly assured..." - Robert, Koehler (Variety Critic), Variety, 07/30/2001

"...The film is well cast. Ms. Hathaway is royalty in the making, a young comic talent with a scramble of features....The camera is mad about her..." - Elvis, Mitchell (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 08/03/2001

"...[Featuring] a comic gem of a performance by Anne Hathaway....She's lovely and funny at the same time..." - Susan, Wloszczyna (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 08/03/2001

"...Charming....Best of all, Julie Andrews reigns, her formidable anti-Poppins-ish dignity its own form of hilarity..." - Lisa, Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 08/10/2001

"THE PRINCESS DIARIES places three-dimensional human beings in a fairy-tale plot in a most beguiling fashion and teams a radiant Julie Andrews with appealing screen newcomer Anne Hathaway..." - Kevin, Thomas (Film critic), Los Angeles Times, 08/03/2001
