Lilly was the epitome of a toxic "friend". I remember even as a kid seeing this movie, and absolutely being annoyed with the way she tried to make everything about herself and not a friend in the least bit. Just so frustrating, ugh.
If you haven't read the books, please do, omg she's WAAYYYYY MORE TOXIC in the books and in the 4th book they show how she's pissed over her portrayal in this movie cause she's always been a sUpPoRtIvE fRiEnD
@@niranjananair5394 Oh damn, really?! I can't begin to imagine her being even more toxic but it sounds like an exercise in frustration.... I'm gonna have to read this.
Forreal though! She's the one character I hated the most. She was more than toxic. She was jealous. She didn't like the fact that her "friend" had a glow up and was actually pretty and starting to get attention. Granted, that attention was disingenuous, but when you're at the bottom of social hierarchy (especially in high school), you tend to ignore fake people because you're not used to certain attention. The only thing I will commend Lily for is NOT sharing Mia's secret.
.
@@DarkLight6Tv Right? Jealous is a great way to describe her. That and constantly projecting on others. Though, I was thinking about her keeping Mia's secret. I don't know if that was out of loyalty, or not wanting Mia to become even more popular (because Lilly's ego wouldn't want her to become even more popular). It felt really nuanced. Such an interesting movie.
"the outside doesn't matter" Lilly says as she spends an hour putting a million little clips in her hair
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest KZheadr EVAH! Please agree, dear bb
@@AxxLAfriku Don't call strangers bb, its weird
.
Holy shit that's Sid's voice actor
Oscar Wilde said “only really superficial people don’t judge by the looks”
In the books her father is alive and the reason she is a princess all of the sudden it's because he had testicular cancer which has left him infertile, meaning he can't have more children so he decides to legitimise Mia in order to have an heir, she always knew who he was but because her parents were never married she was a bastard and therefore not in the line of succession. They changed it for the movie because Disney thought death was more kid friendly than the word testicles.
I heard the reason was because they cast Julie Andrews as the grandma and they couldn't have HER playing a cruel lady like that. As for the cancer thing, if they hadn't cast Julie Andrews, they could have just left out the word and gotten away with that (just said "he can't have kids").
@@lsmmoore1 what do you mean juilie Andrews can't play cruel? Haven't they seen the sound of the music? Her singing "favourite things" must be one of the sickest thing a character has done. And also she was singing to kids about it. That sadistic bitch
I vaguely remember this… I used to read all if not, most of the books… it’s been a long while… I might go back to reading them sometime soon… I remember how upset I was with the differences between the book and the movie (it also made me realize how that’s a common thing when a movie is the adaptation of the book version)
@@takemyhand1988 huh? Explain please?
@@rachelwoudy7530 a joke
the most realistic thing about this movie is the cat, sitting right on the letter when there was a whole room that he could sit
I always thought that was BS Until I owned a cat.
@@emusaurus yeah cats do be like that. I think they instinctually seek out a spot that seems of greater importance in the surrounding area. Probably as a show of dominance XD
Facts😂
It's been years, I'm almost 20, and I'm still waiting for a mysterious grandma to reveal I'm a princess of a European country.
Me too dudette, me too…
I live in an European country. I feel the same 😂
Me too come on grandma I'm waiting
Me too, but I'm black...
I'm always waiting to go on vacation then meet a random guy who for some reason falls madly in love with me and reveals that he is the prince of some European country.
Fun fact: Anne Hathaway falling on the bleachers was actually not in the script 😂
That's hilarious, no wonder it always looked so natural and authentic! 😂🤣
@@trinaq yeah she was actually clumsy
i was just about to comment this haha
Ahhhhh, fun facts as far as the eyes can see _hiss_
She got the role literally because of how clumsy she was XD
Let’s be honest, Mia’s father paid for their home. They never mention her mom having any other job besides being an artist.
Lily: Like, your evil for even vageuly thinking about your looks. Also Lily: probably spent like three hours getting all those hairclips to look the perfect amount of bizarre.
😂😂😂lol
Also she complains about Mia’s bag and her backpack is a dead animal, it’s most likely synthetic but it’s still weird for Lilly to wear it being an “eco-warrior” and all
Fun fact: In this movie, Mia's cat, Fat Louie, was Anne Hathaway's pet in real life. Four different cats played the role. One who allowed people to carry it, one who could sit still, another who would jump, and the last one, who sits on the envelope at the end of the movie.
That's fascinating, I never knew that there were really FOUR different Fat Louies in total! 😹
that is adorable.
And all of them belonged to Anne Hathaway?
One of the cats was Anne's cat. Not all four of them. Also Anne's dad Gerald played her dad in the movie. There is a picture of him in the picture frame in her bedroom.
I would be scared that I took home the wrong cat
Lily was the worse. She was so possessive and jealous of Mia.
@@citrusbutter7718 Yes!
@@citrusbutter7718 Me, who is plus-sized: WhAt'S tHaT sUpPoSeD tO mEaN?
Right I always hated Lily. Mia needed to get away from her
If this movie was made in 2020, Lily would be a lesbian and that would be the justification of her being possessive and jealous.
also very toxic. i never liked her.
Who else had Joe has their favourite character, in this film and the squeal. He always stays calm and truly looks at the situation. - he notices Anne aka mia shed a tear - goes to back Mia up about the beach thing - is the one to put together she going to run. Even in the second film he watches, yeah it’s his job but he cares for the family. So will protect them job or not.
I love this movie but it’s annoying how they act like Mia is automatically prettier when she has straight hair. They should have just made her natural curls more healthy and defined! 😘
It was the early 2000s, that's what it was like for people with curly hair back then.
@Metal Head 🗣️ I agree curly hair doesn't look good on yts
Anna Hathaway could rock any hairstyle!
@@gensai93 Yep! We didn't have the hair care products for our curls like we do now.
Lilly was such a trash person, I hated her from the begining. I remember Mia saying something like "at least you have a dad" and Lilly going "I thought you were over that. Its been two months." Just a terrible person. She was so annoying.
I couldn’t stand her! I remember after that she went on to say “it’s not like you knew him” since Mia never met him. That’s a horrible thing to say to someone since that in itself can be so upsetting: the person dies before you get to meet them. Lily was the worst.
I remember being pissed about that even as a kid
I recently rewatched that and finally caught that ‘it’s been two months’ as if there is a cap on grief.
Interesting, I never thought of it that way.
Yeah that line was so gobsmacking. Wtf. Were we supposed to view her as a good friend at the beginning of the movie? Because if we were, they fucking ruined that from the get-go with that line
All I know is that Lily was a TERRIBLE friend. I look back on a lot of these teen movies and realize the “best friend” was the worst person in the movie.
And they always got mad over petty stuff too 😂😂 like people can’t have other friends too? Lol
So damn true. I mean, some get a redemption plot, but it happens a lot. First thing that came to my mind was actually Chad from High School Musical and also Taylor. They saw their best friends being happy together and they planned to ruin that for their own benefit. Being a little jealous might be normal, I dunno, depends on the age, I guess. But down right ruining a relationship is just cruel. For some reason, I also had trouble liking Stella in Lemonade Mouth. She also felt very pushy and self-centered, when the others didn't do stuff in "her" way. She came around though, most of the time. And I guess it wasn't too much for the others.
Preach it, Lily sucked
I think she was very realistic. None of us would have been any more mature at 15. She was definitely scared that she would lose her best friend and it was also hard for her to understand all the princess stuff.
@@corina.grindeanu but she kept getting on her case, not even once trying to consider it from Mia’s pov. I read the books as a kid and Lilly annoyed the hell out of me. She was so much worse.
Hey, no judgement here. Julie Andrews is the epitome of aging gracefully like damn. Even if she did or didn't have plastic surgery (no judgement here) whatever she's doing it is working. She was 66 in Princess Diaries. She STILL looks decent and is 86 years old, like WTF.
She is my "how to age" role model....
“Y’all remember Mandy Moore? What’s she been up to these days?” *slides ‘Tangled’ under the table*
Lilly isn't toxic. She's downright abusive. Talking Mia down and then showing affection once Mia is upset is Grade-A narcissist behavior.
right? She’s showing jealousy too 🙄🙄
The fun part is that, in the books, her parents are therapists, so You would think She would be getting the help that She needs
@@AngryCandy89 Sometimes, those kids are the most messed up, at least that's what you sometimes hear/see.
@@AngryCandy89 Also she's way worse is the books.
@@nabzisi3928 Yup. How she even gets a Christmas card, let alone a spot as a bridesmaid, after running a literal Mia hate website... yeesh.
Realizing this movie is 20 years old suddenly makes me feel like a grandma.
Knowing that info, makes my body feel even more achy.
It’s 17 years old
I don't like this information.
A Julie Andrews grandma you mean? I cool with that
So that makes me a grandpa, I guess? LOL God, I'm getting OOOOOLLLLLDDDDD!!!
I always assumed the grandmother paid for the fire station wanting her princess granddaughter not growing up under a bridge and the mother just got lucky...maybe the father bought it before he died.
Scotland authorities have denied that there is any custom or law that you are an official lord or lady if you own a small plot of land. So, take the established titles thing as a joke gift if you want to get it, you won't officially be a lord or lady of Scotland.
I get the joke about the note, but seriously the letter her dad wrote to Mia was genuinely amazing. I will never let go of, "courage is not the absence of of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important."
I love that part a lot
very powerful, emotional stuff.
I came to the comments to look for someone who also thought how amazing the Letter from her dad was!
As I’m reading your comment and that quote came up, it made me get all emotional! 🥺 It had its precious moments it really did! I Will never get tired of princess diaries ❤️
I was very young when watched this movie for the first time, but to this day I always remember this quote, it impacted me a lot actually!
fun fact: in the books josh’s girlfriend has a whole redemption arc and she becomes one of Mia’s best friends and it was awesome
Favorite part of the books for me!
She actually becomes a better friend than Lili in the books
the books were sooo much better!
I was so dissappointed by this movie, it has nothing in common with the books :(
I didn’t even know there was books, I will Have to get them from the library
Fun fact, Robert Schwartzman who played Michael, is actually a musician in real life. He is the lead singer of the band Rooney. In the second movie, when Mia said Michael was touring with his band, it was because Robert was touring with Rooney.
legally blonde doesnt feel like it came out the same time as princess diaries lol i just dont remember seeing them around the same time
Looking back, the whole party thing and then the grandmother’s response is horrifying. Like, the girl was basically attacked and exposed by people she thought she could trust and the grandmother was like “well, you fucked up”. WHAT
I do like that that’s then swiftly addressed though, as the grandmother was looking at it from the POV of a politician instead of family. Though iirc she explicitly didn’t know the situation until after she’s already had the conversation with Mia, when Joe told her Mia was tricked. So she was in that conversation just judging the “party girl” the tabloids put forward, not a girl who was assaulted.
@@petloverspy True, but as far as I know it’s not like she rectifies the situation or even offers Mia an apology-as if victim blaming is of no consequence just because you didn’t know.
@@kavertia6261 I'm pretty sure later she does apologise and says she was being too harsh, and then she and Mia go out and spend time together.
@@sims2lovealot yeah I’m pretty sure their exploring the city and then getting Mia her car was the apology
Fucked up but also realistic a la early-2000s papparazzi culture. How many women in the public eye got abused only to be ridiculed as "slutty party girls"? I think the scene did a good job of showing how Queen Clarisse was too busy seeing it from a PR "what will the public think of us" angle, and Joe swooped in and reminded her that Mia was a naive 15 year old who got taken advantage of.
First of all, Julia Andrews absolutely could get it. Second of all, Anne Hathaway just decided that aging wasn't a thing she was ever gonna do.
Both are queens 👸🏻😍
You really just copied the top comment here
@@Javinator3000 nigga I made this months ago, what? Stop being presumptuous, it's not cute...
@@merulaamethyst2248Not necessarily. You don’t need to be rich to work out, eat healthier, drink more water, sleep enough, take care of your skin and hair, learn to destress, massage your face etc. Which all play a role in aging gracefully. You don’t need super expensive treatments to look good.
@@LittlemissdidiYeah but if you’re poor life will very much get in the way of doing those things. It’s also worth adding that you don’t owe anyone ‘graceful ageing’ and it’s perfectly normal to show age
Probably one of the few “quirky” characters that i actually thought was very funny and relatable. The humour was good and the depiction of Princess was actually well handled
I feel strongly about the fact that Mia said " like a date?" and Michael said, "no" and she disappointedly said oh so she thought she was cancelling plans to only hang out and she didn't even remember to cancel with Lily so he got way more courtesy than her best friend
The scene where the Royal Guard is dancing steals the whole show in the movie.
I loved him!
I think that was in the sequel...
@@Originella it is
@@Originella Yes.
That scene was recently ruined for me because I realized the guard dancing is the same guard who is in the background of the scene they cut to in between shots of is his dance moves... Am very upset 😩😩😂 they couldn't have picked any other guard to stand there?? Lol. Contenuity is a pet peeve of mine. 🤣
just as a fun fact I guess: pretty sure Genovia or however you spell it is supposed to be modeled on/a parody of Monaco, which would actually cease to exist if the ruling Grimaldi family died out. So yeah, that's probably where they got the idea from that Genovia would cease to exist if she didn't accept being the princess
Yea, Rinaldi = Grimaldi, Genoa = Genovia
that makes sense.
Why would that happen?
@@neitherlink6612 they've got contracts with France. If the Grimaldi family dies out, Monaco becomes a part of France
@@fabiandolch1505 dang, I didn't know that....! kinda cool but also kinda messed up at the same time =\
in the book, Lilly is a better friend. She is so much smarter and understands a lot about human psychology (has 170 IQ canonically). She also apologizes to Mia at the party where Josh kisses her, saying that she realises that she is a snot and is trying to become better.
Alot of people in the comment would disagree with you. They're saying she was awful and even more toxic in the books.
This movie is why I straightened my wavy, slightly frizzy hair for 10 years. Learning that curly hair could look good was a big deal for me.
mia isn't meant to be the quirky girl, lilly is with the coloured hair, tv show and "society sucks" personality. mia is literally meant to be the boring, plain jane.
Love the subtle messaging this movie sends by saying the **only way** to be seen as moderately attractive and desired in society, means you have to have pin straight hair, perfect skin, no glasses, and always be wearing makeup. Awesome. Just awesome. Very comforting and relatable to those of us who have naturally curly hair *AND DON’T WANT TO DAMAGE IT WITH STRAIGHTENERS,* don’t have perfect skin, can’t go without glasses, and prefer not to wear makeup. 😐
@@sammierose1150 well.. no its not? firstly, michael liked mia BEFORE she straightened her hair, her makeover didnt suddenly make him like her. notice how josh only took notice in her after she changed yet he was still a shallow asshole? mia learned that good people wont care what you look like, like michael. what about girls who have straight hair and want curly hair because it's pretty and can't do that without damaging their hair with heat? they made her hair straight because it made it more manageable, hence the whole brush getting stuck in the hair scene. you're taking this so personally when it's a fantasy movie about a princess of a made-up country.
I don’t think she was meant to be a boring, plain jane if what you are meaning is the simple good girl trope. But however, i do think that at some point that is what her grandmother wanted her to be and that is why she wasn’t really up for it but she tried. I don’t why i even replied but i really do think she’s not
@@sammierose1150 You sound like a tad snowflake hun. Coming from a curly haired fella with glasses. Take a chill pill. You’re not a victim.
@@sammierose1150 It’s not saying straight hair is the beauty standard. People who have straight hair and don’t take care of it can start having fucked up looking hair. It’s not saying curly hair is unattractive. The makeover montage is just symbolic of someone taking care of their outward appearance (but since it’s a movie they gotta be extra with it). If this movie had her changing her hair to curly people like you would still be upset anyway questioning if it’s her natural hair or not lol
Mia doesn't want to be a princess because she thinks she can't handle the pressure of speeches and the overall expectation of being a leader. She knows she is not the expected social pretty girl and in a way finds it comforting in not having to be. The makeover i find it quite realistic in the sense that royalty do have relatively strict images to portray, but Mia doesn't like that, when she looks in the mirror i feel her fear the attention of her peers in how much she is changing on the outside. At first she kinda likes the new attention, but then realizes it's all fake and appreciates the people who have been supporting her since before her makeover.
This! Exactly this!
Couldn't agree more. If I'm being honest though, this movie does the quirky not like other girls shtick the best
@@darwinbowman8512 And the 'makeover' makes sense, is not like 'we are going to give you a makeover because your face/clothes are disgusting' but because 'you have an image to give because the world is going to focus on it from now on'.
It's a movie. It's a cringe one.
@@bealiv5868 ur mom is cringe
The kiss where her foot goes up is definitely my favourite scene from the movie. When I first saw it I still remember crushing hard on Lily's brother! He is so cute!!
Haha I remember everyone in the theatre gasping, groaning, and yelling, "OH NO!" at the screen because we all thought she would have a clutzy moment again. But then the lights all came on in the garden and we all let out a collective gasp and "Oooohhhh!" 😍.
"And you look so....... *awkward silence* Clean- hott." I died 3 times after this
This movie showed that Julie Andrews is a straight up Queen. I love her to bits ♥️
Agreed I love her in this. My favorite role for her though is HANDS DOWN the woman she plays in "relative values". It's a comedy with her and Colin Firth and it's incredible!
I know! She looked stunning in every shot!
I remember thinking "Joe is such a class act." He always quietly supports and believes in Mia before anyone else does, he tells the Queen not to be too hard on her, and he is the one who rescues her and brings her to the ball, if I remember correctly.
Joe is best character
Joe is iconic to this day
Threatening the villain in the second movie, calmly. “Fear is not I’m my vocabulary.” “Perhaps...but it’s in your eyes.”
@@katrinascarlet5637 oooh good line.
"This is a strange place. The clerk asked if I wanted to wear these out of the store." 👠 In early 2000s. Non-judgmentally. A reference to a man's man wearing gIrLy shoes out of a store, in San Francisco, ALWAYS felt like quiet, anti-homophobic, healthy masculinity, and Joe filled a representation void in my life at that time, growing up.
Watching this back in the day as a young girl with glasses and frizzy curly hair I didn’t know how to take care of yet was ROUGH (still loved the movies, but that did a number on my self-confidence for sure)
Anne hathaway has atleast 1 bad close character in her every movie. Princess diaries - Lily Devil wears prada - nate and her friends colossal - her childhood friend
Bride Wars
Broke back Mountain: Her cheating husband. I can empathize with his situation, but still sucks.
*Princess Diaries. Princess Bride is an entirely different movie lol
Actually, if Monaco doesn't have an heir it falls back to France. So yes, that is how SOME countries work.
Genovia is pretty clearly based off of Monaco. The royal family's name is a straight ripoff of Grimaldi.
Should return to Italy where it belongs along with Corsica and Nice
@@JohnnyLodge2 not how politics work.
@@Seriona1 does politics work that one group of people can sell a separate group of people to a third group? Because that is how Corsica ended up French (Republic of Genoa to France) Also how Nice ended up French (Savoy monarchy to France)
@@JohnnyLodge2 I'm just saying that it doesn't belong to Italy thanks to the years of war.
I remember I was super invested in Julie Andrews and the body guard getting together, more than I was invested in mia and the other guys. It might be because I watched "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins" and I already loved miss Andrews.
Joe was the best character in both movies
I felt the same.
Same.
yo such a mood tho lol
Dame Julie Andrews.
The "You have thick hair.....like a WOLF!" line always makes me laugh to this day.
Josh kissed Mia without her consent like wtf 😡 and I'm so pissed how her grandmother didn't even bother to understand her side of the whole situation 🙄
As an adult, I think Mia's curly hair was much prettier than her makeover hair. She just needed a few good hair products (that barely exist back in the early 2000s 🙃) to make her curls pop.
YES!!!
I agree. I was around 10 when this movie aired. And my hair was getting very frizzy when puberty started. Note: i am asian ,here majory of people have that long straight shiny hair. Kids made fun of my frizzy hair. 😭 So i really wanted a makeover like her and become pretty...But looking back her curly hair was very beautiful. Just a little bit unkempt.
Ugh this movie was instrumental in me ruining my curly hair as a child. Thank God for curly girl method and the awareness around it now.
YES!!! It was so frustrating for me as a curly child to see curly hair being changed in makeovers all the time
@@tekubayar1937 I know how you feel! I’m part Latina, so curly hair is more of a family trait for me, but I can totally understand you. It can be really tough looking different from your family members, especially as a kid. I am so beyond happy that curly hair has become more accepted in the media, and that curly products are becoming more mainstream. 🌟🌟 #curlyhairrocks
Quote of the Day: “Rain makes everything more dramatic.”
Fr tho there must always be rain to make it dramatic
props to you for not asking why the ball that is very important to a country isn't actually in that country
that makeover montage warning is legit because this movie is what gave me that idea to straighten my beautiful ringlet curls that I was really insecure about as a teenager for some reason (didn't know about leave-in and avoiding dry combing back then) and everything DID go wrong during my straight hair phase

“You’re a princess” Mia:THIS RUINS MY WHOLE LIFEEE
"Me, a princess?! Shut up. SHUT UP!" I used to randomly quote this line all the time, and I didn't half receive some funny looks! 😂🤣
Fun fact: In the book series Mia's dad is actually alive and is scared of Clarisse and can't say no to her because unlike in the movies, in the books she's actually pretty mean and evil. In the book they describe her as old woman, who shaves her eyebrows every day only to draw them later, with tattooed eyeliner and always wearing purple. She also carries a hairless poodle named Rommel, which Mia thinks looks like Iguana.
I prefer the movie and I used to read the books
WHAT
I love the books but the movies have a warmer safer quality about them
I agree that in the book Clarisse is often just hideous and thus a source for comedy . But a lot of times her counsel contributes to the story's conflict being dissolved. Especially with the birth of Mia's brother we start to see a very tender side in her. At times she will open up to Mia and thus unable her to understand just why she is behaving a certain way. Though a bit over-dramatized, the family dynamics in the books are not unusual. Even without her royal background Clarisse is a very strong but also opinionated woman and obviously very bossy. Her son usually tries to avoid conflict with her. With father's conflict avoidance and Mia's free spirited mum, who often lacks bargaining power, Clarisse is the family's authority. Teenager Mia challenges this authority. Through these conflicts and (partially) dissolving them their relationship improves over time and they start seeing eye-to-eye. I love that Clarisse is actually a quite complex character, especially compared to other adults in the books or even the teens (C'mon Michael's entire character is that he loves Mia and tries to suit her. All conflict arising between the two of them comes from Michael being three years older than Mia and Mia feeling inadequate).
personally i think the book portrayal of her character is better (i don’t like this adaption in general though, so i am biased). The movie softens her character in a way that i don’t really think suits her
omg this movie was my entire freaking childhood!!!! I STILL know all the words to all of the dialogue till this day!! ICONIC!!! Your video on it is just as iconic! You're amazing Alex!
Lily tried making everything about her. she even made Mia being a princess about her. and people who say that it must be her parents fault, it was not because her brother seemed perfectly normal. she does redeem herself in the second one but i’m honestly surprised that mia still talks to her after everything.
As terrible as a friend Lily was, I actually appreciated her character because I felt like that was a very realistic interpretation of how this situation would play out in real life. They were 2 insecure 15 year old girls that were the social outcast of their school. Becoming a princess gave Mia the ability to move up socially, and in Lily's immaturity she would make comments to try to bring Mia back down to her level. Maybe they overdid her attitude just a bit, but I think overall it fit her age and character well. And although the sequel wasn't as good, it was nice that they did try to improve her character and show that she had matured into a more emotionally secure adult. Side note: Does anyone else think that if they remade the movie today they wouldn't, or rather shouldn't put such a huge emphasis on the makeover scene? Especially considering the way they did it was kind of mean-spirited. If you were a little kid with frizzy hair and glasses who already had self-image insecurities, you were essentially being told with that scene that your look is unacceptable.
You are like the only person in the comments section who's actually understanding Lily's perspective instead of demonizing her lol
I was that frizzy- or rather just f*cking CURLY-haired kid with glasses, and that's why I was like "this movie is some absolute BS".
@@gaslightgatekeepgirlboss6321 Saying someone is a horrible friend when they clearly are is not demonizing. Exaggerating their negative traits is demonizing. If I remember correctly, these issues were never properly addressed in the movies and just got brushed over. If anything Lily got very easily off the hook and didn't get held responsible for the way she treated Mia. You can understand why someone did those things and still not excuse what they did. From all the comments that I've seen, people called out Lily's behavior. Lily could've very well expressed her anger and jealousy without verbally and emotionally abusing her supposed "best friend".
Nope, I loved make-over scenes as a kid and it wouldn’t be the same if they took it out of the movie. It’s fun. Despite having the frizziest hair and dressing like a boy. It’s not insulting and it didn’t make me insecure. It actually made me interested in taking actual care of my hair, my skin, body etc. For it to be healthy. Not to be popular. Frizz isn’t something you can’t change, it means your hair needs some extra love. And if you don’t want to change it, that’s fine too, but that’s a talk for parents to cover. Not the responsibility of a movie.
You know what, I never thought of it like that. She still sucks but I get it now. 👌🏽

This goes through my head whenever I see red flags in life
I remember I never liked Lilly as a child but I couldn't really place why, now I see your comments and it all makes sense! She was incredibly toxic and I'm thankful how we are noticing these things, especially nowadays 😊
3:52 I'm choking to death. Oh Alex, you're too funny sometimes!
No need to joke about death*😊
Her conversation with her grandmother and the letter from her dad show her that she might fear being a leader because she can't see herself being a good one. But 2 things are important: - bravery is knowing there are things more important than your fear - there's a difference between who you think you are and who you can be Personally as a child, these were monumental life lessons. Plus ... the movie humor holds up quite well
Were those bullet points actual quotes from the movie?
@@Chi_Me i don't remember the exact words, but yeah, they're quotes
Referencing the quote "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" by Eleanor Roosevelt is also one from this movie that took a while for me to sink in.
Favorite quote of the movie: Michael: Why me? Mia: Because you saw me when nobody else did.
Then drops him like a bad habit in the sequel
@@QTCutes lmao
Ppl should read the books 🤣 At least, Mia and Michael have an awesome ending in it 😁
@@QTCutes True, but people also complain when movie characters marry their teenage lovers, so there was no winning that one anyway.
@@melanieqaghou8034 yup the movies did not do the books justice, too bad there are only two movies compared to the rest of the book series, forever princess is my favorite
5:52 To be fair, I'm pretty sure this part was inspired by Monaco. France had basically bullied Monaco into incorporating into its Constitution that, in the event that the princely family did not produce an heir, the country would be automatically annexed by France. The possibility seemed quite real for a time, because prince Albert II was still a bachelor into his 50s, but then he got married and had twins, and the part about giving the country over to France was removed from the Constitution entirely. But then again, the sequel to The Princess Diaries forgets its own lore and suddenly there is a rival lineage in line for the throne who could perfectly take over.
You cut the best line! “Not for money, palo hates money, he spits on money. There was no money… well… there was SOME money…”
My only regret in life is that my life doesn't have a continuous overlay of Alex's animations.
Love this!🤣 What a gr8 concept. I just know I'll have random moments of 'seein' what wd go with certain scenarios I experience in future! Cheers hehe, have a good 1 mate 🤗👍😉 💜🇦🇺
@@lizcatty9281 Haha yes! Every time something happens in life, just imagine what Alex would animate over it, and then decide if it's worth going through with or not :D
@@Nomadic-Nerds same
This movie had one of the (unintentionally) funniest line I’ve heard in a movie: “Virtual Homework May not be submitted for actual credit.” 20 years later, we know what’s up 😂
Ya that’s one of those jokes that’s aged quite amazingly if I’m being honest
This movie singlehandedly taught me to hate my curly hair. Took years to unlearn and undo all the damage!
I love that the movie represents the 2000s aesthetic completely
Why didn’t you show the clip where Lily tells Mia to get over her dad dying after TWO MONTHS
Lilly said that? How are her and Mia friends?
@@Neku628 they are both outsiders
I was always disappointed that they straightened Mia's hair, as if they were saying that you have to have straight hair, not curly, to be considered attractive.
Curly hair be bomb
Same with the glasses. I would have understood if they got different glasses frames that fit her face shape more but eliminating them completely really made me self conscious when I first saw the movie. Honestly the whole entire makeover scene was a bit toxic
Yeah I can see how that would be alienating.
I was a curly-haired girl back when this movie came out, and all through middle school & high school I was convinced I needed to straighten my hair every day in order to look good. This movie damaged both my hair and my emotions, lol.
@@Thew0rm Don't blame the writers for that. That what happens in the books
I first watched this movie like five years ago, and I'm almost 40...so I wouldn't feel so bad about liking it when u were a kid. My wife and kids love nothing else but to bust my balls about liking this movie so much.
Ohmagosh! Discovered your channel today, binged 3 videos... couldn't stop laughing!! I love it ❤❤🎉🎉 thank you for your content
I never understood why she was upset about being a princess. If I got told I was a princess I'd pack my stuff and go be a princess
This may be a year late, but I wouldn't wanna be a princess either. You realise all of the responsibilities that comes with such a role? The education. The politics. The social environment. The expectations. It's a life that will never be private and you have to watch every actions you make so you don't ruin your own reputation and the whole royal family. You have to be a role model almost 24/7. And most of all, you'll have to be responsible for the welfare of soooooo many people that trusts _and_ pays you to protect them. Noblesse oblige, I think it is called. That's heavy stuff, and I don't like heavy. The only advantage I can ever accept from being a princess would be financial, but that also depends if your country is wealthy or not.
@@TheDoRoBouNeko same here. I would be pretty upset.
Ikr being poor sucks😂.
Josh in this movie is such a TikTok dude, as Alex has already pointed out.
I really love when he does the "What was your favorite part of the movie? .... That was mine, too." bit.
3:34 it's the "cover the tuba!" one-liner that gets me 😂😂😂
Fun fact: when Mia slips on the bleachers she actually slipped irl and they decided to keep it
that makes this even better :D
Oh, yes! I saw this somewhere. The actress slipped and then simply laughed. And after making sure she wasn't hurt they asked her if she could do it again. She did because it actually fit the character. I liked that.
Michael’s character had to be cut out of the second movie because during the filming of it he was touring with his band
makes me sad
I was so disappointed when the second movie came out & he wasn't there, then out of nowhere she starts liking a guy she just met & forgot all about Michael! >:(
Yessss, Rooney was touring 💜💜💜
@@StoatoftheSouth In the book they end up together, it's so much better than the movies. Meg Cabot (the author) even clowns the movies a bit in her books, where Mia writes that they made Grandmere all nice(which she isn't in the books) and killed off her dad, which is really untrue.
@@AimAimMiaMia cool, thanks for the info :D
For years I thought the movie The Princess Bride was this movie and I was confused when people said they loved it.
4:09 I ROFL'ed so loud I startled my pets xDDD
OK that "is your daughter straightening her hair behind your back" part literally sounded like Ryan Reynolds lol
He would totally say that
@@obsidiandragon1385 lol I know right haha
Thank you for acknowledging that Julie Andrew’s was still a damn smoke show at 65
9:57 me and my sister talk about how mean she can be
They added the aspect of Mia being clumsy because Anne Hathaway is/was naturally clumsy, and kept falling over, slipping, dropping things, etc (ie: the bleachers scene) so they just incorporated it into the movies as a running gag - expanding on it.
As a 15 year old I can confirm that Mia not only is relatable but also has a very teenage high school name! lol
What is it with highschool girls with names that last with “ia”?
@@kairossnt Honestly I wish I knew
Fun fact: no one had seen Anne Hathaway before (this was her first real role) and she showed up on set in the whole wig and braces and glasses until she got her big makeover. So their reactions are real!!
not true. she was in a tv show prior to all of this. she didn't have the frizzy hair or the braces.
@@truthprevails4386 the people on set probably had never seen her before! also pretty sure if this was her first movie role most of the crew wouldn’t have watched her show!
Your promo I actually set this up years ago for my son. When I pass. Fighting terminal medical problems so wanted to make sure my son was set. And I had a pretty view to look at
Thanks for making commentary on it. It is brilliant
Mandy Moore has been starring in “This Is Us” for six years. She was the voice of Rapunzel in Tangled (so she’s a Disney Princess.” And she still makes pretty decent music independently.
Oh, a Mandy Moore hardcore fan, I see. Do you have a lock of her hair stashed in your closet along with her mini shrine?
@@cahidijoyoraharjo7833 this is such a weird and hostile response for literally no reason
@@LaurieLuLu agreed, ignore the psycho, they have other underlying issues to address.
@@LaurieLuLu That's my usual response for hardcore fans who are obsessed with certain celebrities that they collect everything they can about them. Both merchandises and information. I just think it's kinda creepy. It's so close to being a stalker. Just a step away from camping outside of celebrities houses. But, you're right. I was being hostile for no reason, except for the creepy stalker vibes I get. So I apologize to everyone who read my previous comment.
@@gracehaven5459 Calling people psycho for no reason is also a hostile response. So maybe I should also ignore you.
You have got to do Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement now. The movie that introduced the world to Chris Pine, in his first major film role. Its even has a Stan Lee cameo (for some reason).
Mia is a Marvel superhero confirmed?
Stan Lee was in the Princess Diaries!?!
Clarisse is greeting guests at Mia's wedding. Stan Lee is a guest. Clarisse: how do you do, Senor? Stan Lee: I do better if you and I get married. Ooo! Ooo!
The sequel was really confusing
Yeah why was he even in it lol not that I'm mad I love a princess superhero cameo 😂
How does she not recognize her father's name? Just because there was a few extra names doesn't mean she should have no idea who Phillipe Renaldi is
I was just thinking this lol
15:20 BEST MOMENT IN THE PRINCESS DIARIES EVER
Compared to the books, the queen here is a freaking saint. Exhibit A: in the books, SHE was the one that told the press about Mia being a princess.
Why did the queen expose her granddaughter's secret like that to the media?
@@Neku628 something about being proud of her Genovian heritage or something like that
The M&Ms on the keyboard hahaha *I can’t deal*
they're skittles because quirky boys eat fruit candy instead
But why are they there?
@@bobawolfecoco3178 Product placement. I remember when Disney made the live action Inspector Gadget and they literally just had the car fill up with skittles (the dispenser broke) randomly. They have weird ads I guess lol
14:56 you'd be surprised how many girls simp for Snufkin from the moomins
Wow you're like the only person that mentions that Established Titles is a novelty. I haven't followed all the "It's a scam! I think! Kinda!" thing going on with them, I just like that you mention it and that you checked if they actually give to charity. Transparency is just so important.
I hate Lily so much. She makes her so-called best friend cry after she's starting to feel more confident about herself, then only apologizes after learning she's royalty.
What’s Mandy Moore been up to? She voiced Rapunzel in “Tangled” and finally receiving accolades (I always felt she was way under rated) as Rebecca Pearson on “This is Us.” She’s done various movies and music since then too and I love that she’s doing so well. She’s such a talented singer and actor 🥰.
NEW DREAM SHIPPERS UNITE!
My sister in law interviewed her on her podcast a few months ago. She’s been acting and was about to go on tour just before covid. She’s also a mother
Yeah, Mandy Moore might be the 3rd most famous person in this movie after Mary Poppins and the Oscar-winner.
@@chasehlee7197 yeah. I think she’s so underrated. I love her in This is Us
@@vanessalage373 it’s my favorite show.
had to pause the video to type this, dude ur commentary is wicked sweet 🤣love ya!
When she says "he fixes cars, he plays guitars..." she's actually talking about the other dude but for some reason the directors decided to focus more on Michael in the shot
Also you literally cannot hear anybody singing in this scene but Michael appears to be BELTING out the song into the mic.
