DVD Reviews of The Princess Diaries (Full Screen Edition)
DVD Review: For anyone over 11...?
Summary: 1 Stars
...No. That's why I'm writing this review; if you're in the "target audience"-i.e. a (very) young girl age 4-12, this is probably going to ring your bell-it'll even stand a chance of being your "favorite movie"-until you see the next similar flick(no disparagement of 10-year-old girls meant-I was one myself, and my taste was often terrible too).
BUT, if you're an adult like me-who heard from other, film-nut adults that this movie was "really cute", "charming", "Anne Hathaway is adorable!" "what a terrific comedienne!", etc.etc....don't you believe it! I sat down with a completely open mind, only to be bombarded from the opening credits with every @!^& bell and whistle a gaggle of vapid Disney execs could think up: the heroine is ridiculously "plain"-in fact, she's made up to look like a Gilda Radner Lisa Lupner clone from an old SNL skit-seriously! And, there's "slapstick" that's SO poorly staged, it's unreal....also, Anne's character is very poorly conceived: it changes from scene to scene-in the first 20 minutes, no less: is she a gawky nerd/ a pretty wall-rock-climber/athletic girl? A daydreamer? Super-smart? Kind of not-so-smart? Yes? No? Because she's ALL of those things and more...there's just no consistent character for the actress to play. You might say that well, this is just a silly movie for kids-but there's absolutely no reason why it couldn't have been just a smidgen more intelligently written and directed. Oh-the actual, technical direction is horrible-it looks like Gary Marshall never even showed up on set, but instead was surfing the internet while a PA set up the shots. Dumber than it has to be, all around. Again--adult? Avoid!
