The Princess Diaries

She rocks. She rules. She reigns.

2001115 min7.0 / 10

A joyful, feel-good coming-of-age comedy about self-discovery and belonging, built on warmth, humor, and the bonds between a girl and her grandmother.

A socially awkward but very bright 15-year-old girl being raised by a single mom discovers that she is the princess of a small European country because of the recent death of her long-absent father, who, unknown to her, was the crown prince of Genovia. She must make a choice between continuing the life of a San Francisco teen or stepping up to the throne.
