The Princess Diaries (DVD)

Academy Award winner Julie Andrews, enchanting newcomer Anne Hathaway and Hector Elizondo (Pretty Woman) lead a charmed cast in Disney's The Princess Diaries, a hilarious, hip and heartwarming modern-day Cinderella story. Mia Thermopolis (Hathaway) is a bright but terribly shy and gawky teenager whose goal in life is to survive each school day with a minimum of attention and embarrassment. Unfortunately, her wish to be invisible is thwarted when her strict grandmother arrives and delivers the shocking news that she's a real-life princess heir to the throne of Genovia! Furious, the reluctant royal agrees to take "princess lessons" and make the biggest decision of her life - in three weeks. And so begins a comical transformation towards poise and princessness when she finds herself in the middle of a media storm, jealous schoolmates and a plot to take over her country. Funny and uplifting, your entire family will thoroughly enjoy this crown jewel.
