Princess Mia (Anne Hathaway) has finished college and returned to Genovia to take her place as Crown Princess of Genovia. But an old law proclaims that she must be married to assume the throne. So she must assent to an arranged marriage, or renounce her claim to the throne.

I was amused by this movie. I thought it was sweet, and nice. Not as wonderfully quirky as the original. Still funny tho. I was watching the original the other day and one of the things that was absolutely hilarious was the background announcements at the high school like, "Will the Fengshui club PLEASE stop rearranging the lawn furniture!" Random stuff like that. But, I did like several outfits that Anne Hathaway wore, and LOVED the romance between the Queen and Joseph. That was great. I didn't care for Nicholas...I thought he was boring. I think it would've been cool to just leave Mia unmarried...at least for now. But it was a good follow up, all the same characters back (even the mom and her new husband!) and I always give points when you get back all of your original cast.

Until the next time, this is Sarah saying, "WISH I wuz ridin' in the 'STANG!"
