Overview
サンフランシスコで母親と2人で暮らすミアは冴えない女子高生。人前に立つことも運動も苦手で、地味で野暮ったい彼女をまともに相手にしてくれるのは親友のリリーとその兄のマイケルのみ。それでも消防署をリフォームした個性的な家で、奔放な画家の母と共に自由且つ幸せに暮らしていた。 そんなある日、ミアは、自分の亡き父フィリップが、ヨーロッパにあるジェノヴィア（架空の国、スペインとフランスの間にある小国の設定）の女王クラリスの息子であり、女王の孫である自分が唯一の王位継承者であることを知らされる。突然のことに、ミアは、事実を隠し続けて来た母にも、自分を王女としてジェノヴィアに連れて行こうとする祖母にも反発する。それでも、王位継承とは別に、王女としてのお披露目となる舞踏会に出席するために「プリンセス教育」を受けることを、ミアはしぶしぶ承諾するしかなかった。

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. This feels like a trope, but I'm honestly not sure if "surprise, you're royal" is a trope. Making up a country for this also feels like a special sub-trope. What I'm sure is a trope is the "She's All That" where you have a clumsy, homely girl that you turn into a beautiful, graceful desirable. The fun of cultures clashing between America and "Genovia" is fun, and a family reuniting is touching, but all the high school girl drama, all the flavors, is overdone and boring. I understand it is needed to develop Mia as a character with which we empathize, but there have to be better ways to establish a character. Unfortunately, we would lose quite a lot by speeding it up, so I get it. While this movie doesn't do much special, it's equally good from start to finish, and reliably so.
It goes on for a bit too long, but <em>'The Princess Diaries'</em> is just about a good film. Anne Hathaway (Mia) is the star no doubt, she's the only character I'll likely remember from this 2001 production. Julie Andrews (Clarisse) is decent too, while Héctor Elizondo (Joe) is extremely likeable in his role. There's also a (incredibly) small appearance from <em>'The Walking Dead'</em> alum Karl Makinen. I found the plot a little tedious to watch in parts, not helped by a few cringey gags. I also, in live-action/non-fantasy films, always find it difficult to believe in fictional places - in this case "Genovia". It's a small gripe of mine. Anyway, I do of course appreciate and rate the overall message of the film. Overall, when all is said and done, I did narrowly enjoy watching this. The main reason being Hathaway, but also the moral of the story.
