The Princess Diaries

A shy, awkward teenager discovers she is heir to the throne of a small European country. As she learns the manners and responsibilities expected of royalty, she must decide whether to remain an ordinary student or embrace a very different future.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this light, feel-good coming-of-age fairy tale if you like A Cinderella Story or Freaky Friday; Not for you if predictable teen comedy and makeover plots feel tiresome.
