The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement Reviews

A braindead film that sucks the life out its audience with its annoyingly overbearing screenplay.

Full Review | Nov 16, 2019

A fairytale, once-upon-a-time. . .this movie is for the princess in all of us.

Full Review | Nov 14, 2019

The pace of ``Diaries 2'' is not always as crisp as some of Marshall's other films, but it is an amiable enough entertainment.

A fun romp for girls of all ages.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Was there a point of a sequel to a movie that was just decent after all?

The larger message -- that you should marry for the right reasons only when you're ready -- is one everyone can applaud.

I'd like to, but than that would be lying, and if I've ever learned anything from Disney it is that lying is wrong.

In a typical big, crappy summer movie, you sometimes feel the filmmakers' disinterest in the audience, but in The Princess Diaries 2 the feeling is more like contempt.

Full Review | Sep 16, 2005

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement is unapologetically aimed towards young girls, making this review virtually moot.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 19, 2004

[The film] runs an insufferable two hours, leisurely chugging toward an ending most of the audience will have predicted 15 minutes in.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 17, 2004

Saddled with the sort of dialogue that would fell a von Trapp.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Nov 16, 2004

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 30, 2004

A chocolate-box sequel whose rose-tinted view of constitutional monarchy will provoke hoots of derision this side of the pond.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 19, 2004

Unlikely to appeal to anyone, regardless of their thoughts on the first film.

Full Review | Original Score: 16/100 | Oct 18, 2004

If you are a prepubescent girl with a five-year old intellect, this is a smash hit. If you're not, bring a good book.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 19, 2004

Constantly opts for contrived cheesiness, slathering on the cuteness with a trowel.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 19, 2004

This threadbare sequel takes a page from such revisionist fairy tales as Shrek and Ella Enchanted, movies that assume we've grown so weary of the same old Cinderella story that they go out of their way to invert the formula.
