In <b>THE PRINCESS DIARIES 2: ROYAL ENGAGEMENT</b> Mia (Anne Hathaway, “<i>Ella Enchanted</i>”)
is ready to assume her role as princess of Genovia. But no sooner has she moved into the Royal Palace
with her beautiful, wise grandmother Queen Clarisse (Julie Andrews, Academy Award® winner Best
Actress “<i>Mary Poppins</i>” 1964) than she learns her days as a princess are numbered – Mia’s got to lose the
tiara and immediately take the crown herself. As if getting ready to rule wasn’t enough, the stakes for
Mia have never been higher- with Genovian law stating that princesses must be married before being
crowned, Mia’s in for a parade of suitors who’d all like to be her king. The sparkling cast includes
returning “<i>Princess Diaries</i>” stars Heather Matarazzo, Hector Elizondo (“<i>Raising Helen</i>”) and new cast

is there a princess diaries 3 in plan? cause i might hold off buying this just in case a 2 disc set comes out lol

YAY!!!! I cantr weait for this realse I love the Princess Diaires stories and i think this was a great movie I will be buying this on its first day of realese !

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this sequel. It's not as good as the original, of course, but I never expected it to be, and it's definitely good enough for me to own. I like how this disc's contents match the ones for the original film. I'm really hoping there's more to the "Making A Return Engagement" featurette than just promoting the movie's soundtrack, and that it it somehow will miraculously not be annoying with Raven as host.

As for a Princess Diaries 3, I doubt it. Anne Hathaway says she's moving on to different and more challenging roles and I can't see Disney doing a sequel with a new person cast as Mia, especially considering how big Anne's becoming in Hollywood.

I totally thought the sequel was better than the original! I've already seen it in theaters 3 times, (once with movie ticket from the Princess Diaries SE DVD)

I will definitely be getting this one on the first day of release

I can't wait until it comes out! I wonder if the "Making A Return Engagement" is just a look behind the music of PD2, because the title does suggest a complete behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film. On the special edition DVD they had a sneek peak of a documentary about the making of PD2, and it obviously had been cut down from a full length one.
Oh well! I'm sure it'll be great!!!

I have just posted my DVD review of <i>The Princess Diaries 2</i>:
http://www.ultimatedisney.com/princessdiaries2.html

Great review, Luke! Though I know the film will be trite, I can't resist the urge to check it out. I liked the first one in an "enjoy-a-sappy-teen/chick-flick-for-once-in-a-lifetime" kind of way. Hu noz when I'll get around to seeing it though.

Particularly enjoyed your digs at Raven.

"Anne Hathaway doing her best Audrey Hepburn impression"

That'd be interesting.

I'm sure 2099net can't wait to check the Raven sections
