Another modern adaptation of Cinderella, The Princess Diaries isn’t necessarily your standard Cinderella story.
There’s no magic, no Prince Charming, not even a blue dress or masked strangers – but what makes The Princess Diaries such a great film is The Princess Diaries cast, and their characters, especially Anne Hathaway’s character, Mia.
In this adaptation of the novel of the same name, The Princess Diaries follows Mia Thermopolis, a shy teenager from America who suddenly learns she is the heir to the throne of a European kingdom, completely changing her life forever.
