I liked the first movie well enough, but this one was another animal entirely. Predictable from the start, contrived, horrendous script, unrealistic sets; I'm surprised my eyes aren't permanently set in the back of my head, I must have rolled them every five minutes during the film. I cannot believe Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews (not to mention John Rhys-Davies and Hector Elizondo) deigned to be a part of this travesty.
I also don't like Chris Pine's hair and all-over-the-place accent. I am not even sure why Heather Matarazzo was even in the movie, since she had so few lines- she was more of an after-thought than a significant character. She always seemed to just be there in the background, even taking part in State meetings - for some unknown reason, not offering anything but a few soggy quips from time to time. It was also very annoying that there were so many American accents in Genovia. Mia and a few of her friends, sure, but the Genovians? Why did they have American accents? And what was up with the Scottish paparazzi lady? I don't get it.
I could go on and on about how crappy this movie is.
The ending was cheesy and predictable: just like the entire movie. I did laugh once, so I'll give it one star for that. If I was Meg Cabot I'd be pretty disgusted with the treatment of my stories.
