Academy Award winner Julie Andrews,
enchanting newcomer Anne Hathaway and Hector Elizonodo (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 princess-ness when she finds herself in the
middle of a media storm, jealous schoolmates and a plot to take over her
country.
