I read the reviews on this website before allowing my 8 year old to see this movie. It sounded harmless, so we saw it. However, there were several times I really cringed. In the first movie, Mia gets into some royal trouble by mistake and by trusting the wrong people. This time she sneaks out with a boy (while engaged to another) and winds up falling asleep with him outside. Nothing happens other than kissing, but the whole idea of a heroine sneaking out and cheating on someone was not an example that I want for my daughter. Another big thing for me was there was a reference to homosexuality. I was just not ready to explain that issue to my child yet. I did like that Mia took a stand in the end and made a positive social change.
This is not a very good movie.the other one is better.but really, she can't just ditch school and all her friends to become the queen of genovia.and the princess slumber party was just plain stupid.besides there is no way you can meet a guy and know him well enough by then to marry him in 30 days.
This is a very good movie for both boys and girls. Almost as good as the first. Our kids loved it, and yours will too. There need to be more G rated movies!

Three generations loved it
Grandma loved Julie Andrews, 10 year old daughter and 6 year old son loved silly story, mom loved the fact that there was a movie we could all go to on a rainy day in the middle of summer. Not as good as the first but still sweet.
My daughter liked this movie specially because of the fun parts of the life of a princess: matress slide with style, being able to help others like the orphanage children. However, my boys liked the movie too (9-10 years).
Took my 7 year old, who loved it as much as the first movie. Great examples of how to positively approach those who are less fortunate and a soft sell on social consciousness. The rest of the movie was just plain fun. It was great to hear Julie Andrews sing!
This is a wonderful family movie...my 12-year old daughter and my eight-year-old neice loved it--even my husband liked it! Too bad they didn't make more family-friendly movies like this one!
Princess Diaries 2 was as expected... sappy and lots of fun. What is of note is the twist at the end.. there are lessons to be learned and actions to be taken that don't necessarily rely on a man saving the day.. . Strong women come in many guises and it was a pleasure to see empowerment from an unexpected quarter.
I loved it, but there is a scene where she sneaks out with a guy even though she's engaged to another, and they fall asleep together, but otherwise it's great!
A kids' movie that I don't mind watching 50 million times!
My two year old loves this movie. I was very surprised. I had to explain to her that people might get hurt feelings if you say "shut up," but it's great besides that. A kids' movie that I don't mind watching 50 million times!
This movie is very empowering for girls and mia is a strong role model, I love it!! But I also think there is quite a bit of kissing and flirting for a G movie. It's not nesscerly something I'd want a 3 year old to see.
Although not nearly as good as the first, this was enjoyable for my 6 year old daughter and 11 year old son, and watchable for me. Good messages about being true to yourself. My kids couldn't believe that Julie Andrews was Maria in Sound of Music.
