I finally saw this movie on DVD with my granddaughter. What a delight! Julie Andrews is as wonderful as always, and Anne Hathaway is just pure joy to watch. I think that movie goers will be watching this young lady for many years to come. Watching the DVD allowed us to view the deleted scenes and I must say to Garry Marshall, "you left the best scene of the movie on the cutting room floor!" Mia and Nicholas in the kitchen is so funny!! Anne does her "Audrey Hepburn" role like a pro, and Chris Pine is excellent in all of his "various roles." It is really too bad that it didn't make it into the movie. The costume designer did a great job throughout the movie. The dress for Princess Mia to wear to the coronation was incredible! It was without a doubt made for Anne Hathaway! The "Princess Diaries" movies have introduced Julie Andrews to a whole new generation of little girls and Anne Hathaway has secured herself a role in movies that will be timeless. I dare say that she will one day enjoy them with her granddaughter.
