    I rate this title iffy for age 15 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    This movie did not deserve a G rating. There was too much emphasis on kissing between 15 year olds. My own 15 year old was shocked by the protrayal of french kissing in a G movie. Adults in the movie assume that 15 year old Mia has sex with a boy because of photographs in the paper of her kissing the boy and appearing naked, clutching a towel to herself.

    It was OK

    It was just OK for me. My 7yo daughters loved it. Parents should know that there is a bit of teen kissing - just enough that you kind of roll your eyes and say, Ok, enough already. I would say it is really more for older kids - just all the things that the main character is going through - are teen things, not little girl things. Also, the movie pays a fair amount of lip service to the idea that it is what's inside that counts, but then spends a lot of time making over the lead actress from ugly duckling to gracefull swan.

    Great Disney comedy pushes G rating

    Parents should know that this movie pushes the G rating in regards to sexual content. There are brief make-out scenes in this movie. One scene showed Anne Hathaway in just a robe; it was a prank set up by mean girls pretending to be her friends. Above all that, I believe this is an excellent Disney movie. I recomend this for everyone! (By the way, ABC Family is the only network to give this movie a TV-PG rating.)

    Amazing!

    Fun, fun, fun! Nothing to be concerned about at all! Anne Hathaway gives a knockout performance and Julie Andrew is, as always, spectacular. The story line is cute and it will have you laughing constantly. Great for all kids and adults!

    Andrews and Hathaway light up the screen in an enchanting fairy tale story

    Sexual Content (Not an Issue): Some kissing. Violence (Not an Issue): Mild, comedic peril with no one hurt. Language (Not an Issue): One use of "suck". A term of deity is used as an expletive. Social Behavior (On): Lots of usings and rude behavior, but the movie makes it clear that this is not acceptable behavior. Mia learns to take responsibility for her actions. Both she and Clarisse are strong women. Diverse (race and personality-wise) characters. Commercialism (Not an Issue): None. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Pause): Some social drinking. Presumable reference to being drunk.

    Good for ages 6 and up.

    This movie is awesome except there is a little bit too much mushy kissing and there is a part where people are trying to get a picture of Mia naked.

    Girl Power

    I love it!! This is a movie that really always leaves you with a good message. Although, I do think this would be better off rated PG, this movie really is pushing the G rating, I think there is a LOT of french kissing and teenage anst/flirting for a G movie. I don't think it's something I'd want a 3 year old to see.

    Worth a look

    Not a bad movie, but gets a bit too caught up in drama. Nevertheless, there are strong characters and good messages.

    Awesome movie!

    I love this movie and have watched it so many times I can't count it on my fingers and toes! Although I love this movie, I think this movie would be better off to be rated PG rather than G. I think this because the kissing is quite full on and also becaus eof the part when Mia was wearing just a towel. They're only small points but I think it pushes the movie closer to a PG classification. This movie is hilarious at times and very sweet too. Worth every cent!

    idk what to call the headline thingymagigger

    The Princess Diaries. How do I begin to discribe The Princess Diaries. It is one of my all time faveroite movies. I can relate to Mia, minus the princess part. Someday I wish I'll have the courage just like Mia. Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews are fantastical.

    Just Read the Book

    This movie is so good! Ann Hathaway is a great actress and Julie Andrews is hilarious. I just finished the book and thought it was even better. The movie version is way cleaner than the book, but if you're 12 and up, you'll love the book.

    Great fun movie!

    I LOVE the flick THE PRINCESS DIARIES! Anne Hathaway is a beautiful and talented starlet who grows better every film, and seeing Julie Andrews again is great. Boys and girls alike should rush to see this hilarious, fun family movie.

    One of the Greatest Films Ever Made

    Along with THE WIZARD OF OZ, I find THE PRINCESS DIARIES to be one of the greatest films ever made. Anne Hathaway is perfec,t as is Julie Andrews. Good for anyone: girl or boy, Age 5 to Age 15.
