It's actually because of Julie Andrews the dad is dead in the movies. They told Meg their plans to make the Queen more important, and give a lot of the dads lines to her, so Meg asked who they got as the queen. They told her, and she was like, "Kill the dad!"
- This was actually Anne's film debut. She did a TV show before this, but this put her on the map. Much like Julia Roberts with Pretty Woman, director Garry Marshall found Anne and the rest is history. She and Julie Andrews became quite close, and even though Garry Marshall has passed the two of them are trying to get a third film Princess Diaries film off the ground with Disney. - Michael, the guy who liked Mia before, is Robert Schwartzman, who comes from a huge Hollywood family. His mother is Talia Shire (Adrian in the Rocky films and Connie Corleone in The Godfather films), his uncle is writer-producer-director Frances Ford Coppola, his cousins are writer-director Sofia Coppola and Oscar-winning actor Nicholas Cage, and his brother is Jason Schwartzman. Robert is also the frontman of the band Rooney. - Garry Marshall also directed Pretty Woman, Beaches, Runaway Bride, and the sequel The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, and was the creator of such TV shows as Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley (starring his sister Penny Marshall), and Mork and Mindy (Robin Williams breakthrough series). His daughter Kathleen plays Charlotte, the secretary, and his son Scott has a small role as one of the paparazzi when the secret gets out about Mia. - You mentioned My Fair Lady...Julie Andrews became a star on Broadway playing Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady and lost the role to Audrey Hepburn for the movie. However, Julie came out ahead. Audrey was not even nominated for an Oscar as Eliza, but Julie won her Best Actress Oscar for Mary Poppins the same year as My Fair Lady won a ton of other Oscars, including Best Actor for Rex Harrison, who originated his role as Henry Higgins with Julie on stage. - Caroline Goodall plays Helen, Mia's mom. She was in Steven Spielberg's Hook and Schindler's List. She's British. - Joe or Joseph is played by Hector Elizondo, who appeared in almost every Garry Marshall film in some way, shape, or form. He is also one of those character actors who has done everything, basically, he's "that guy who was in that thing!" and is always working. - This was based on the first of 12 novels and 4 tie-in books in the young adult genre by Meg Cabot. The movie deviates A LOT from the book, and the second movie is probably not even really based on any of the books, just using the characters established. An example is that Queen Clarisse is not like Julie's performance in the books, but is kind mean, and domineering. - Mia's father is played by two men. One is an actor, one is not. The actor Rene Auberjonois, a character actor who was Father Mulcahy in the film MASH, and is best known as Constable Odo in the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is the voice reading the letter to Mia. The man on film is Gerald Hathaway, Anne's real father, who you see in the photo and writing the letter in flashback.
24:39 Speaking as a shy girl who considered herself invisible to boys in regards to romance, it is reasonable that she doesn't have a clue about her friend crushing on her. Remember that earlier when he asked her out, she asked him if this was a date, date, and he denied it. I would have assumed, too, that he only saw me as a friend.
Your comment got me wondering . . . I think the correct punctuation for that would be: she asked him if this was a "date" date, and he denied it. My runner up was: she asked him if this was a _date_ date, and he denied it.
as another shy girl, I was pretty oblivious too but looking back, I know now that I had several guy friends that liked me more than a friend or was flirting with me and it went right over my head lol. so I definitely 2nd this. its a real thing that happens and makes perfect sense Mia had no clue.
Some fun facts for you Nick: the guy who says "it happens all the time" when Anne breaks the glass, is the same guy who said the same line in Pretty Woman. He also makes an appearance in PD2, and says the same line. Anne's slip on the bleachers was totally unscripted, and the fact that Heather Mattarazzo (Lily) kept going is a testament to her ability to keep rolling. Ella Enchanted happened years after Princess Diaries.
Fun Fact: The scene where Anne falls on the bleachers was an actual slip! It just fit so perfectly they kept it in. Also! The lady with the striking features at the dinner table with the big pink dress @20:26 is the lady who plays The Nun in The Conjuring as well as The Nun movies.
Ok, an absolute must is PD2!!! Also, Heather Mattarazzo (Lily) is so underrated as an actor. She's so fantastic in everything she does, so it's great to see a reactor appreciate her!
9:26 "You know, you look like Shaft." "Like who?" John Shaft was the protagonist of the 1971 film Shaft. He was a hyper-masculine black private detective in New York City who typically wore leather coats with turtlenecks and was accompanied by a funk/soul soundtrack. He became a cultural icon. In modern versions, Samuel L Jackson has portrayed Shaft.
Here's a few comedy movies you could react to "The devil wears Prada" with Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. Also "13 going on 30", "The ugly truth", "Just go with it", "The break up", "Sweet home Alabama". They are all time feel good movies, i've watched them multiple times.🙃
I’m so glad you’re enjoyed this! I never really read the book but this was my first Anne Hathaway movie and yeah I’m a big fan! Fun fact: When Anne Hathaway went to audition for the role, she literally fell out of the chair during the audition and right there is when the director knew that she was their Princess Mia of Genovia. Also I love Julie Andrews! I think my favorite part has always been where Mia and her Clarisse have a day out, and she is educated on the meaning of shut up in the teenage language. Joe is certainly the MVP; the moment when Mia fell on the bleachers, Héctor Elizondo was genuinely concerned as that moment was not scripted. I really recommend you watch the sequel as it’s not only funny, but as charming and empowering. Other Anne Hathaway films I recommend are Les Misérables, The Devil Wears Prada, Ella Enchanted, Get Smart, The Hustle, Rohan Dhal The Witches (2020), and Ocean 8. For more Julie Andrews I must recommend Eloise at the Plaza, Eloise at Christmas, and Tooth Fairy. For Héctor Elizondo, I recommend Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, Tortilla Soup, Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, and The Lego Batman Movie. 👩🏻🦱👑📔🖋
To think that The Baroness is The Nun from the Conjuring universe and Anna the bully is Rapunzel in Tangled and Josh Bryant is Sid Phillips in Toy Story!
My favourite thing about this movie, is that it's canonically a part of the book universe: In the books, Mia complains about the movie making her grandmother seem nice.
9:03 that's Héctor Elizondo! he's a character actor and he kind of has the same energy as Jonathan Hyde in Jumanji where you're nodding along when he's playing Robin Williams' dad and then you see him come out of the board game with a rifle and you're like "Leo point*. he's in Pretty Woman. great example of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere's on screen chemistry. i recommend both that and Runaway Bride if you want to do a double feature of Julia/Richard romantic comedies.
Charming is the perfect word to describe this movie! I like that they didn’t go the cheesy route, made it sweet and Mia as vulnerable. Great reaction! ☺️
The real heroes of this movie are the Prime Minister and his wife. 20:00 It's a common thing among royals to do. If a guest or the royal themselves embarrasses themselves, do the thing too to take the attention off of them. There's a story that Queen Elizabeth had a dinner with African leaders, and when they were brought lemon water to dip their fingers, they thought it was for drinking, and did so. The queen then proceeded to do the same thing too.
This is such a special movie to me. I absolutely love it! I feel like I know so many details about it from the scene where Mia fell on her butt on the bleachers was a blooper that was kept in, the woman who plays Charlotte is the director Garry Marshall's daughter, the man with the camera who Mia asked what everyone was waiting for and he said "we're waiting for you" was played by Garry's son Scott, and the girl at the garage saying "he plays guitar and can sing he is so hot" I believe is Anne Hathaway's cousin and the man playing Mia's dad is Anne's actual father who is still alive. I love that you appreciate Lily cause so many people think she's a bad friend. They just don't get that she is very self-aware of her flaws and is trying to work through them.
"None of them are even close to Cordelia in their skill"🤣🤣🤣 Props on the nod to what is probably what brought in your biggest fan base😘 So many people come in for a specific show, and stay for the reactor himself🥰🥰 Don't get me wrong. You know I love more than just your Buffy reactions. But I can't deny that's what brought me to your channel originally🤷♀️ If that was it I wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't be on your other channel. That is all you (and your gorgeous hair that I am still jealous of 😉) Not the first, and probably not the last time I've mentioned that part🥰
Oh WOW, I didn't know you were James' older brother!! Just saw your Gladiator reaction on White Noise!! So cool to see you all have such great success, keep it up!
The Princess Diaries 2 is so good also. A great cast. You will like also. Love these movies. Would love it if they had went on and done at least one more to complete the story.
I loved this movie! My second name is Anne and very quickly I was called Anne Hathaway in high school because people thought that I looked like her 😂. Such a fun and sweet movie! Julie Andrews in a legend!
The 'somebody likes you' gave my 00s teenage self some feelings, because it is literally a poem in the book 'you may not know, but somebody likes you' and 'you may not know, but I like you too', which I thought was the pinnacle of romance at the time
This movie was breakthrough in the ways you mentioned, even when it cane out. Love the way they used SF as a character. I saw it in the theater with my two young nieces and a whole slew of little girls. The way they laughed their hearts out at the funny parts is one of my favorite experiences ever.
Hey Nick! Since you asked for some suggestions, I think you'll also enjoy the following - 🔹13 Going On 30 (Jennifer Garner) 🔹50 First Dates (Drew Barrymore) 🔹Just Like Heaven (Reese Witherspoon) There are still a lot, but I don't want to overwhelm you, haha! Great reaction as usual! Stay safe! 😊
The chauffeur, actor Hector Elizondo, plays a similar character in the movie "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. It's a great romantic comedy that I will hope you watch if you haven't already seen it. The happily ever after ending was pure Disney at its best!
24:40 ofc she doesnt know. She asked if it was a date and he said no! Persoanally, id feel o credibility embarrassed for asking and assume he was never interested to begin with
Another difference: the movie Grandmother is a Saint compared to the books. In the books, SHE was the one that told the press that Mia was a princess, not her stylist.
Book Gramma is wild 😂 as I recall she has her eyeliner tattooed on permanently and requires Mia to learn how to mix her favorite drink (I think it's a sidecar?)
On a fun note,(Spoilers for the books!) in the books Mia and Lana actaully become friends, it's wild. Lily is honestly pretty awful to her 'best friend' and it causes a rift... and another girl named Tina is more of Mia's best friend. The books are so good and they follow Mia from 14 up till shes 26.
I'm new to the channel but does anyone else like the way he says, "Oh dang, oh dang?" Also, kudos for mentioning the note on "practicing gliding" from Miss Congeniality.
Love this movie, and the sequel is probably one of the few sequels that I love by Disney. Love that the accident prone characteristic was added due to Anne Hathaway being so accident prone on set.
If you are a young actor and you can hold your own on-screen with Julie Andrews so well, I'd say that your future is bright. Needless to say, Annie has shone. Kudos, too (as you've mentioned), to Hector Elizondo who brought so much class to what could have been just another security guard. And also to Garry Marshall for putting together such a fun movie.
This film is very sweet and funny! It's just so weird to see Mandy Moore as a mean girl xD She seems like such a lovely person in real life, and acting-wise she'll always be Jamie from A Walk to Remember to me
"Manners maketh man" is not a Colin Firth quote, originally, I hope you realize. LOL It's primarily considered to have been made famous by William of Wykeham, the Archbishop of Lincoln in the late 1300s (appointed 1361), and Clerk of Works and Surveyor to Edward III in the 1350s. Wykeham himself likely took it from an earlier source. ;)
Ooooh exciting!! I’ve been on RUclips the last hour and the only thing that’s popped up was your last friends reaction, I finally decide to leave the house and check my phone and see this 😂 one of my fave movie series
Heck yeah I love this movie! Used to watch it almost every night before bed on VHS when I was a kid. It was this, Lilo & Stitch, and The Emperors New Groove on rotation for nightly movies.
This movie was literally my childhood. So many fun facts about it! Princess Diaries is based on a book of the same name by Meg Cabot. There are some huge differences though, like Queen Clarisse is not nice at all and her & Mia don't have a good relationship. Mia's dad is also alive in the books but has cancer and Mia & Michael don't get together until much later. However, the second movie just erases the rest of the books and takes a whole different direction. As much as I love Chris Pine I'm still kinda pissed about that but the movie is still very funny and Anne & Chris's chemistry is off the charts. This was Anne Hathaway's first movie role and her breakout role, she was 18. During her ONLY audition she fell out of her chair and was immediately given the part as clumsy Mia Thermopolis. She was literally born for this role. Speaking of... Mia falling on the bleachers was not scripted. Furthermore, the dinner scene when Mia accidentally sets the guy's arm on fire, the flames were supposed to go out when he put his arm in the ice bucket but they didn't. Anne Hathaway panicked and threw the glass of water on it which was not scripted. Also, in that scene a waiter says 'it happens all the time'. The same actor played a waiter in Pretty Woman who said the same line to Julia Roberts' character. Both films were directed by Garry Marshall. The on-screen relationship between Queen Clarisse and Joseph was not scripted. They just had so much chemistry, especially during the dance rehearsal scene (which was improvised). The movie was filmed on the same sound stage Mary Poppins was filmed, which has since been named "The Julie Andrews stage". Anne Hathaway had to wear a clip-in hairpiece to create Mia’s hair pre-makeover. It was affectionately nicknamed 'the beast' by the cast and crew. Her eyebrows took about an hour to apply as each tiny hair had to be individually glued in place. Kathleen Marshall, who played Charlotte, is director Garry Marshall's daughter IRL. His twin granddaughters also appear as the little girls who ask Mia for autographs and Garry himself, along with his wife and sister, has a cameo as a guest at the ball. The photo of Mia's father in the movie's opening scenes is a photo of Anne Hathaway's dad. He is also the one you see in the flashback scene when she's reading the letter. Mia's cat Fat Louie was portrayed by four different cats, one of whom was actually Anne Hathaway's own cat. Each cat served a different purpose: one was meant to be carried, another sat still for extended periods of time, a third was used for jumping and stunts, and the final (Anne's) is in the film's final scene. The movie was co-produced by Whitney Houston. She conceived the scene in which Mia smears her ice cream cone on Lana's cheerleader uniform. Joe is played by Hector Elizondo who has been in every film Garry Marshall has directed. Michael is played by Robert Schwartzman who's real life band, Rooney, appears as the character's band. He is related to the Coppola family and Nicolas Cage. He wanted to change his last name in the credits to Cage in honor of his cousin but the film's promotional material had already been finalized. Lilly is played by Heather Matarazzo. She once revealed she was scheduled to attend a meeting on the 15th floor of the World Trade Center on 9/11 shortly after the attacks occurred, but she overslept. Lana is played by Mandy Moore who voiced Rapunzel in Tangled and has starred in films such as A Walk To Remember (which I recommend), Saved! (with Heather Matarazzo, Jena Malone & Macaulay Culkin), Chasing Liberty and 47 Meters Down, as well as NBC's hit series This Is Us. She is also a musician. I could add so much more but this is already too much!
You should definitely do reactions to Miss Congeniality 2 and Princess Diaries 2! Other suggestions: - She's The Man -Or any other Amanda Bynes movie lol - Any Sandra Bullock movie. The Lost City is newer, not 2000s, but its so funny! - Bring It On - 13 Going On 30 - Daddy Day Care - Holes
I'd have such a crush on Jeremiah if I went to this school. He's so cool. And this movie falls into the cathegory of 90's/00's tropes that made me feel bad about wearing glasses and having curly hair.
If you're looking for a wholesome just feel good movie I highly highly recommendrecommend, That Thing You Do. It's 1 of my all time favorite movies preferably the extended edition but the theatrical version is just as good. I love to see your reaction
I had to put together a clip reel of scenes from this film for Mindy Burbano, the gym teacher. When you mention Cordelia, was that a Buffy reference? I always thught Mindy coukd play her older sister. They're just two years apart. Msndy Moore plays a mean girl in this. Based on my brief encounter with her and most other reports, she's actually a sweetheart. The musician is Robert Schwartzman of the band Rooney. He also happens to be a Coppola. His mother is Talia Shire (Adrian fron Rocky), her uncle is director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather), His brotger is actor Jason Schwartzman who was the original drummer for Phantom Planet, his cousin is Nicolas Cage. No big deal.
Am late but this movie came out at a special time in my childhood. It also was a rare special movie that my Dad decided to take me to. He also took me to the second movie as well. It really taught me the lessons of how we are all imperfect, have our quirks, our challenges, and thats ok. We can be just as good as anyone else, and even our flaws are special. I highly recommend Princess Diaries 2! Also yes Joe is best boi and I wish I had such a wonderful male role model in my life.
The Musée Mécanique in San Francisco is a can’t miss place. The building that is the school is actually a private residence and is currently on the market for a mere $8,9000,000
Hathaway not famous at the time. Early Mandy Moore (singer) movie role too. Love Hector Elizondo (Last Man Standing + more), Larry Miller 10 Things I Hate About You, Necessary Roughness, and more. And, of course, Sandra Oh who was also not famous at the time. Look for early Chris Pine role in the sequel.
In the books her dad is alive but can’t have anymore heirs because he had testicular cancer, and her grandma is really mean. Lol They Disney-fied it for the movies which I think worked out better.
Princess Diaries 1 and 2 have really held up well in all ways including messaging. ‘Enchanted’ (2007) with Amy Adams (not Anne Hathaway) is another wholesome and delightful watch. Hope to see you watch it along with Princess Diaries 2.
Someone finally reacted to a movie the other day that I'd been hoping someone would, it's called drop dead gorgeous and it's the funniest damn movie and has an impressive list of big name celebs, it's like a mockumentary and it's HYSTERICAL, if you could do that one I don't think you'll be disappointed lol, get on it before everyone else does because it's only a matter of time.
It is amazing how few etiquette classes it actually takes to make a difference. I had a third of a year in Middle School home ecs, where they touched on proper eating etiquette. And I was in a girls group for a couple years where they emphasize proper posture while sitting. Admittedly I do not take those lessons to heart as often as I should. But in proper company I at least know how to behave when I need to be that way. When not in proper companies, however, I'm still likely to slouch on the couch and shovel my food🤷♀️ At least it is good to know how to switch it up when required😉
For another Julie Andrews movie, check out "Victor Victoria" - it's a comedy. (Julie Andrews was married to Blake Edwards - who produced several Pink Panther movies.)
absolutely loving your reactions to the 90s classics! This movie really does have a star cast, but I don't think anyone will ever approach the awesomeness of Joe 😌
You Should Definitely Watch And React To “The Princess Diaries 2 : Royal Engagement,” “The Wedding Planner” (Starring Jennifer Lopez & Matthew McConaughey), “27 Dresses” Starring Katherine Heigl.

It's actually because of Julie Andrews the dad is dead in the movies.
They told Meg their plans to make the Queen more important, and give a lot of the dads lines to her, so Meg asked who they got as the queen. They told her, and she was like, "Kill the dad!"
Ouch lol
Yeah, and it's actually more interesting.
We would have all done the same if Julia Andrews wanted to play a role in a move based on a book we wrote.
That's a hilarious anecdote I haven't heard before 😂
You need to watch "13 Going on 30" ... it's another one that is silly on the surface but pretty good when you dig a little deeper.
Thirty, flirty and thriving
i second this!!!!
It’s an ICONIC movie
Yes please
I just realized I officially passed the 30 mark back in 2020 and realized I was around 13 or so when I first saw that.. 😮 came full circle!
Anne Hathaway got the part because when she went in for her audition, she went to sit down, missed the chair, and fell.
They went, "That's her."
That's such a good origin. I'm so sad they didn't go for three
@@ursidae97you must be so happy now
Joe is such a sweet father figure even if he gives 'I'm definitely capable of unaliving people' vibes.

Ella was filmed the same year as this movie.
If you watch the sequel you'll get to see a baby Chris Pine in his movie debut.

Finaly someone who likes Lilly as a friend!! I love her character...
This is such a special movie to me. I absolutely love it! I feel like I know so many details about it from the scene where Mia fell on her butt on the bleachers was a blooper that was kept in, the woman who plays Charlotte is the director Garry Marshall's daughter, the man with the camera who Mia asked what everyone was waiting for and he said "we're waiting for you" was played by Garry's son Scott, and the girl at the garage saying "he plays guitar and can sing he is so hot" I believe is Anne Hathaway's cousin and the man playing Mia's dad is Anne's actual father who is still alive.
I love that you appreciate Lily cause so many people think she's a bad friend. They just don't get that she is very self-aware of her flaws and is trying to work through them.
Mom was too much of a free spirit to give it all up to become a princess. So they parted ways as friends.
"None of them are even close to Cordelia in their skill"🤣🤣🤣
Props on the nod to what is probably what brought in your biggest fan base😘
So many people come in for a specific show, and stay for the reactor himself🥰🥰
Don't get me wrong. You know I love more than just your Buffy reactions. But I can't deny that's what brought me to your channel originally🤷♀️
If that was it I wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't be on your other channel. That is all you (and your gorgeous hair that I am still jealous of 😉)
Not the first, and probably not the last time I've mentioned that part🥰
Oh WOW, I didn't know you were James' older brother!! Just saw your Gladiator reaction on White Noise!! So cool to see you all have such great success, keep it up!
The Princess Diaries 2 is so good also. A great cast. You will like also. Love these movies. Would love it if they had went on and done at least one more to complete the story.
Guess you got a your wish lol
I loved this movie! My second name is Anne and very quickly I was called Anne Hathaway in high school because people thought that I looked like her 😂. Such a fun and sweet movie! Julie Andrews in a legend!
The 'somebody likes you' gave my 00s teenage self some feelings, because it is literally a poem in the book 'you may not know, but somebody likes you' and 'you may not know, but I like you too', which I thought was the pinnacle of romance at the time
At 18:30 Ann actually tripped and they kept it, she wasnt supposed to trip there.
It suits to Mia
I’m pretty sure this was Anne Hathaway’s breakout role when she was 18! An iconic film 👸🏻
This movie was breakthrough in the ways you mentioned, even when it cane out. Love the way they used SF as a character. I saw it in the theater with my two young nieces and a whole slew of little girls. The way they laughed their hearts out at the funny parts is one of my favorite experiences ever.
Hey Nick! Since you asked for some suggestions, I think you'll also enjoy the following -
🔹13 Going On 30 (Jennifer Garner)
🔹50 First Dates (Drew Barrymore)
🔹Just Like Heaven (Reese Witherspoon)
There are still a lot, but I don't want to overwhelm you, haha! Great reaction as usual! Stay safe! 😊
Nick, you are on a roll lately. All my fav movies!! Sweet Home Alabama next ;)
The chauffeur, actor Hector Elizondo, plays a similar character in the movie "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. It's a great romantic comedy that I will hope you watch if you haven't already seen it. The happily ever after ending was pure Disney at its best!
I think Hector is on every single one of Marshall's films
24:40 ofc she doesnt know. She asked if it was a date and he said no! Persoanally, id feel o credibility embarrassed for asking and assume he was never interested to begin with
Another difference: the movie Grandmother is a Saint compared to the books. In the books, SHE was the one that told the press that Mia was a princess, not her stylist.
I like her in the movie. She's a fully rounded character here
Book Gramma is wild 😂 as I recall she has her eyeliner tattooed on permanently and requires Mia to learn how to mix her favorite drink (I think it's a sidecar?)
Now you have to do the next one! ❤👸
On a fun note,(Spoilers for the books!)
in the books Mia and Lana actaully become friends, it's wild. Lily is honestly pretty awful to her 'best friend' and it causes a rift... and another girl named Tina is more of Mia's best friend. The books are so good and they follow Mia from 14 up till shes 26.
Had the worst start to my week and seeing this was uploaded made my day SOOOO much better! Thank you for all your amazing reactions 😊
I'm new to the channel but does anyone else like the way he says, "Oh dang, oh dang?" Also, kudos for mentioning the note on "practicing gliding" from Miss Congeniality.
YESSS the princess diaries franchise is so incredible the second movie was one i watched on repeat daily as a child 😂
in the books, she never has a crush on the popular guy. It was on Lily's brother, and it took her forever to realize that he liked her right back.
Ok, how did I never know this was a book?!
@@JustCallMeMeghan it’s an entire series with over 10 books.
Love this movie, and the sequel is probably one of the few sequels that I love by Disney. Love that the accident prone characteristic was added due to Anne Hathaway being so accident prone on set.
Really ?
The bleacher fall was real. The director liked it, and kept it in @@a.g.demada5263
If you are a young actor and you can hold your own on-screen with Julie Andrews so well, I'd say that your future is bright. Needless to say, Annie has shone. Kudos, too (as you've mentioned), to Hector Elizondo who brought so much class to what could have been just another security guard. And also to Garry Marshall for putting together such a fun movie.
Princess diaries 2 is also so fun! Would defo recommend a watch 😊
There's a house here where I live that was once a firehouse. And yes, they still have the pole.
19:01 is the woman that plays The Nun!
This film is very sweet and funny! It's just so weird to see Mandy Moore as a mean girl xD She seems like such a lovely person in real life, and acting-wise she'll always be Jamie from A Walk to Remember to me
The reason for the pole is their house is a converted fire station.
"Manners maketh man" is not a Colin Firth quote, originally, I hope you realize. LOL It's primarily considered to have been made famous by William of Wykeham, the Archbishop of Lincoln in the late 1300s (appointed 1361), and Clerk of Works and Surveyor to Edward III in the 1350s. Wykeham himself likely took it from an earlier source. ;)
Ooooh exciting!! I’ve been on RUclips the last hour and the only thing that’s popped up was your last friends reaction, I finally decide to leave the house and check my phone and see this 😂 one of my fave movie series
Heck yeah I love this movie! Used to watch it almost every night before bed on VHS when I was a kid. It was this, Lilo & Stitch, and The Emperors New Groove on rotation for nightly movies.
I really enjoy your videos can you please do Parent trap? It was my favorite movie as a kid :)
Ooh, that's a good one. I'd love a double-reaction with the 1961 film and the 1998 remake.
me too 🙂👍
This movie was literally my childhood. So many fun facts about it!
Princess Diaries is based on a book of the same name by Meg Cabot. There are some huge differences though, like Queen Clarisse is not nice at all and her & Mia don't have a good relationship. Mia's dad is also alive in the books but has cancer and Mia & Michael don't get together until much later. However, the second movie just erases the rest of the books and takes a whole different direction. As much as I love Chris Pine I'm still kinda pissed about that but the movie is still very funny and Anne & Chris's chemistry is off the charts.
This was Anne Hathaway's first movie role and her breakout role, she was 18. During her ONLY audition she fell out of her chair and was immediately given the part as clumsy Mia Thermopolis. She was literally born for this role.
Speaking of... Mia falling on the bleachers was not scripted. Furthermore, the dinner scene when Mia accidentally sets the guy's arm on fire, the flames were supposed to go out when he put his arm in the ice bucket but they didn't. Anne Hathaway panicked and threw the glass of water on it which was not scripted. Also, in that scene a waiter says 'it happens all the time'. The same actor played a waiter in Pretty Woman who said the same line to Julia Roberts' character. Both films were directed by Garry Marshall.
The on-screen relationship between Queen Clarisse and Joseph was not scripted. They just had so much chemistry, especially during the dance rehearsal scene (which was improvised).
The movie was filmed on the same sound stage Mary Poppins was filmed, which has since been named "The Julie Andrews stage".
Anne Hathaway had to wear a clip-in hairpiece to create Mia’s hair pre-makeover. It was affectionately nicknamed 'the beast' by the cast and crew. Her eyebrows took about an hour to apply as each tiny hair had to be individually glued in place.
Kathleen Marshall, who played Charlotte, is director Garry Marshall's daughter IRL. His twin granddaughters also appear as the little girls who ask Mia for autographs and Garry himself, along with his wife and sister, has a cameo as a guest at the ball.
The photo of Mia's father in the movie's opening scenes is a photo of Anne Hathaway's dad. He is also the one you see in the flashback scene when she's reading the letter.
Mia's cat Fat Louie was portrayed by four different cats, one of whom was actually Anne Hathaway's own cat. Each cat served a different purpose: one was meant to be carried, another sat still for extended periods of time, a third was used for jumping and stunts, and the final (Anne's) is in the film's final scene.
The movie was co-produced by Whitney Houston. She conceived the scene in which Mia smears her ice cream cone on Lana's cheerleader uniform.
Joe is played by Hector Elizondo who has been in every film Garry Marshall has directed.
Michael is played by Robert Schwartzman who's real life band, Rooney, appears as the character's band. He is related to the Coppola family and Nicolas Cage. He wanted to change his last name in the credits to Cage in honor of his cousin but the film's promotional material had already been finalized.
Lilly is played by Heather Matarazzo. She once revealed she was scheduled to attend a meeting on the 15th floor of the World Trade Center on 9/11 shortly after the attacks occurred, but she overslept.
Lana is played by Mandy Moore who voiced Rapunzel in Tangled and has starred in films such as A Walk To Remember (which I recommend), Saved! (with Heather Matarazzo, Jena Malone & Macaulay Culkin), Chasing Liberty and 47 Meters Down, as well as NBC's hit series This Is Us. She is also a musician.
I could add so much more but this is already too much!
I didn't know there were that much unscripted scene. That's crazy
You should definitely do reactions to Miss Congeniality 2 and Princess Diaries 2!
Other suggestions:
- She's The Man
-Or any other Amanda Bynes movie lol
- Any Sandra Bullock movie. The Lost City is newer, not 2000s, but its so funny!
- Bring It On
- 13 Going On 30
- Daddy Day Care
- Holes
I saw this movie and thought Anne Hathaway is going to be a big star
Been a while since I’ve seen this and it brings back memories!
Love the “Jaws” comment too LOL
This was Anne Hathaway's first movie. I hope you do the sequel too. Another movie you should watch is "A League of Their Own".
aww now you HAVE to watch the second one! joe has one of the best lines in the history of cinema and i am not even exaggerating on that lol
I'd have such a crush on Jeremiah if I went to this school. He's so cool. And this movie falls into the cathegory of 90's/00's tropes that made me feel bad about wearing glasses and having curly hair.
The bleacher slip was an accident when filming, but it was so in keeping with the character they kept it in.
Great reaction. Now I kinda want to see you react to the sequel as well.
She started as Queen Guinevere in Camelot on Broadway before Mary Poppins!
If you're looking for a wholesome just feel good movie I highly highly recommendrecommend, That Thing You Do.
It's 1 of my all time favorite movies preferably the extended edition but the theatrical version is just as good. I love to see your reaction
I love this movie. Ann Hathaway was perfect for this role. I thought they did a great job casting this movie.😊
You liked the character of Joe - well he is even better in the second movie. One of the few occasions where the second movie is as good as the first.
I had to put together a clip reel of scenes from this film for Mindy Burbano, the gym teacher.
When you mention Cordelia, was that a Buffy reference? I always thught Mindy coukd play her older sister. They're just two years apart.
Msndy Moore plays a mean girl in this. Based on my brief encounter with her and most other reports, she's actually a sweetheart.
The musician is Robert Schwartzman of the band Rooney. He also happens to be a Coppola. His mother is Talia Shire (Adrian fron Rocky), her uncle is director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather), His brotger is actor Jason Schwartzman who was the original drummer for Phantom Planet, his cousin is Nicolas Cage. No big deal.
I love this movie!! Thank you for not hating on Lily. I love her so much.
sence u seem to continue this path :D am tossing some more:
The 40 year Old Virgin -05
The Devil Wear Prada -06
Ready To Rumble -00
EASY A -10
An older classic comedy that you should check out is Some Like It Hot. It stars Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe.
Am late but this movie came out at a special time in my childhood. It also was a rare special movie that my Dad decided to take me to. He also took me to the second movie as well. It really taught me the lessons of how we are all imperfect, have our quirks, our challenges, and thats ok. We can be just as good as anyone else, and even our flaws are special. I highly recommend Princess Diaries 2! Also yes Joe is best boi and I wish I had such a wonderful male role model in my life.
The Musée Mécanique in San Francisco is a can’t miss place.
The building that is the school is actually a private residence and is currently on the market for a mere $8,9000,000
Anne actually slipped and fell down those steps it wasn’t acting they just kept it in because it worked with how clumsy the character is 😂
This was Anne's first movie role. I thought it was her first role ever, but turns out she was in a TV show called "Get Real"
Hathaway not famous at the time. Early Mandy Moore (singer) movie role too. Love Hector Elizondo (Last Man Standing + more), Larry Miller 10 Things I Hate About You, Necessary Roughness, and more. And, of course, Sandra Oh who was also not famous at the time.
Look for early Chris Pine role in the sequel.
In the books her dad is alive but can’t have anymore heirs because he had testicular cancer, and her grandma is really mean. Lol They Disney-fied it for the movies which I think worked out better.
I prefer that way. Fun fact : the guy who plays the father is Anne Hathaway's real one
Princess Diaries 1 and 2 have really held up well in all ways including messaging. ‘Enchanted’ (2007) with Amy Adams (not Anne Hathaway) is another wholesome and delightful watch. Hope to see you watch it along with Princess Diaries 2.
You should check out Heartbreakers. It has so many great Actors including Jean Hackman, Ray Liotta Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sigourney Weaver
I feel like no one mentioned this, but I'm pretty sure that Joe is actually head of security and not just a chauffeur, but I could be wrong.
No, no, you're right. He mentionned it himself when Queen Clarisse asks him to be the driver. And be honest, he doesn't have the " look " of a driver
Someone finally reacted to a movie the other day that I'd been hoping someone would, it's called drop dead gorgeous and it's the funniest damn movie and has an impressive list of big name celebs, it's like a mockumentary and it's HYSTERICAL, if you could do that one I don't think you'll be disappointed lol, get on it before everyone else does because it's only a matter of time.
WHAT?! WHO?! The most recent one I found wads 7 months ago
@@pamelawilliams3144vlogging with Kerry, He did it two weeks ago!
Super Duper love your reactions. Thanks!
I so hope that you're going to react to The Princess Diaries 2 because I think that one is even better than the first
The 3 2 1 go in the beginning tho 😂😂
It is amazing how few etiquette classes it actually takes to make a difference. I had a third of a year in Middle School home ecs, where they touched on proper eating etiquette. And I was in a girls group for a couple years where they emphasize proper posture while sitting.
Admittedly I do not take those lessons to heart as often as I should. But in proper company I at least know how to behave when I need to be that way. When not in proper companies, however, I'm still likely to slouch on the couch and shovel my food🤷♀️
At least it is good to know how to switch it up when required😉
Thanks for this❤ I highly recommend watching the sequel!!
Even though I love the Princess Diaries, my favorite Anne Hathaway comedy is Ella Enchanted! A must watch!
For another Julie Andrews movie, check out "Victor Victoria" - it's a comedy. (Julie Andrews was married to Blake Edwards - who produced several Pink Panther movies.)
You may remember the hair dresser from Pretty Woman as well.also did some NCIS..
Fun Fact: There was a whole book series by Meg Cabot that I was absolutely obsessed with in high school!
absolutely loving your reactions to the 90s classics! This movie really does have a star cast, but I don't think anyone will ever approach the awesomeness of Joe 😌
You Should Definitely Watch And React To “The Princess Diaries 2 : Royal Engagement,” “The Wedding Planner” (Starring Jennifer Lopez & Matthew McConaughey), “27 Dresses” Starring Katherine Heigl.
I'm new to your channel and can't stop watching your videos.
Thank you! I’m so glad you are enjoying them that’s so encouraging to hear :)
