    Super chick flick, and I as a 78 year old man thought it was great. Anne Hathaway's expressions were supurb.

    I AM A 35 YEAR OLD MOTHER WHO WATCHED THIS WITH HER CHILDREN. I LOVED IT. THE ENTIRE STORY IS FANTASTIC. AN PLAIN JANE TURNED INTO A BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS TO TAKE HER PLACE AS THE RIGHTFUL HEIR..AN EXCELLENT MOVIE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY.. NO SEX, NO DRUGS..JUST GOOD ACTING.

    Yes   |   No

    There are lots of funny scenes in this movie, and friend Lily is a riot! But the public displays of affection (lots of open mouth kissing) are a bit much for a kids movie.

    Yes   |   No
