If and when you see the sequel, keep this in mind: Julie Andrews had to have surgery on her vocal cords from singing her entire life and they had told her she would never sing again. It was really sad since she was mainly known for musicals. It was revealed that she would actually sing in PD2. It was a huge deal at the time. It is actually more talk-singing than her full range, but for all of us who grew up listening to her musicals, it was awesome to hear her sing again.
I have the dvd on the bonus feature they talked about it and they said everyone was crying when she sang even the manliest dudes working on the film crew behind the scenes, It was the first time she sang in public since the surgery.
Anne Hathaway literally got the job because she fell off her chair during the audition 😅 also the fall on the bleachers was also just her being clumsy and she just carried on and they kept it in
When Jabys talking about how well she acted and didn’t overplay how fidgety it was I was just like “yeah that’s not acting, that’s just her” and they kept all of it in because it was perfect for the character. It’s so crazy to compare her to now where she’s this classy Oscar winning actress. She truly did evolve from that awkward teenager into a princess👑❤
Such a great movie. And the sequel is good too. One of Julie Andrews' best roles. One of my favorite moments of this film: "The flags allow me to park anywhere. The flags stay."
There is a small callback to Pretty Woman during the State Dinner. Same waiter when Mia breaks her glass & Vivian tosses her snail: “It happens all the time.” 😂
I like to pretend that the waiter moved up from being a waiter in the hotel restaurant to being part of the diplomatic house staff in "The Princess Diaries". The "makeover" scene in this movie is also a callback to "Pretty Woman" with Larry Miller in practically the same role. Hector Elizondo was in Pretty Woman as well.
"Goodbye, trolley people" war ADR-ed, just so you know. Anne Hathaway said in the commentary that it really was her, the fire bucket in the meal was her fault, the cool desert after the meal was also her fault, her adult co actors continued it, so she won't feel bad. Falling on the basketball benches was authentic, and a couple more "klutz" moments were really her. She also said that in the wig combing scene, she thought of the brush breaking part.
Love this movie also its sequel! The reason why Clarisse was seen as harsh after the beach party was because she jumped to conclusions over something that wasn't Mia's fault. She may not have screamed and yelled but she did come down kinda hard. Also regarding Lily, I will forever defend her despite her rude behavior. She admits that she needs an attitude adjustment. She doesn't like being mean so she's working on it.
maybe as a friend but not as a love interest. he was just an archetype whereas nicholas had actual development and actually stepped up (i doubt they're still looking at these comments but just in case, i dont want to be more specific to avoid spoilers)
If you've ever watched "Avatar: The Last Airbender", Hector Elizondo (Joe) was the voice of Wan Shi Tong, the owl spirit of knowledge from "The Library".
Fu fact: Julie Andrews actually premiered the role of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady and the princess lessons of this movie always feels like a great homage to that.
Definitely have to do the sequel as it is a direct continuation, (although a small time jump.) It fleshes out the characters more and gives more context to some of the stuff that happened in this movie. Seeing as both movies were directed by Gary Marshall, known for some of the most iconic and classic romantic comedies/romance movies of all time, (Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, Beaches, etc,) they are done in his signature style, just they play to a larger audience than many of his movies, (seeing as they are rated-G,) but hold that same base realism and interesting characters. Personally I knew people that fit into every one of the 'teenage' roles when I was that age, including Lilly. Honestly, with so many masterpieces under Julie Andrews belt, I always liked her performances in these two movies the most. It always felt to me like she had the most fun, and her enjoyment leapt off the screen. This is one of those movies that I can watch any time I feel a little depressed and it can make me feel better. I really wish they had gotten to do a third one, but unfortunately, Marshall passed away.
About Lilly: It's become popular now to hate her and say she's a bad friend but I don't get that at all. Yeah what she said about her dad was not cool and she was a jerk in the car because of Mia's make-over, but as soon as she told her the truth she apologised AND stood up for her at school. Plus, she kept her secret and didn't try to take advantage of her status (yeah she wanted her on the show but she wasn't trying to take advantage). If anything, Mia was a bad friend. She promised Lilly she would be on her show but was a no-show (to be with a boy she liked who only liked her after he found out she was a princess) AND didn't even let her know about it which made Lilly look like an idiot on live TV. She also betrayed her brother. Yet, when Mia apologised she immediately forgave her. Lilly had two bad moments and she was a 'bad friend' but for 90% of the movie she was a good and supportive friend. Also, as you mentioned, they both had enough maturity and self-awareness to realise how they were acting. Also, Clarisse was definitely too harsh on her because she expected Mia to not only act like an adult but like an experienced royal. The loint Joe was making that she was talking to her as a queen when she should have been talking to her as a grandmother. Anyways, this movie was literally my childhood. So many fun facts about it: It is based on a book of the same name by Meg Cabot. There are some huge differences though, like Queen Clarisse is not nice at all and her & Mia don't have a good relationship (she is also the one who outs Mia as a princess to the press). Mia lives in New York instead of San Francisco, her dad is alive in but has cancer and Mia & Michael don't get together until much later. However, the second movie just erases the rest of the books and takes a whole different direction. At first I was really pissed about that but the movie is so good (not as good as this one but still good) and it's got Chris Pine! Julie Andrews also voiced Queen Lillian, Fiona's mother, in Shrek 2-4. Michael is played by Robert Schwartzman who's real life band, Rooney, appears as the character's band. He is related to the Coppola family and Nicolas Cage. He wanted to change his last name in the credits to Cage in honor of his cousin but the movie's promotional material had already been finalised. Mandy Moore also voiced Rapunzel in Tangled and has starred in movies such as A Walk To Remember (which I recommend), Saved! where she played a similar character to this (with Heather Matarazzo, Jena Malone and Macaulay Culkin), Chasing Liberty (with Mark Harmon), Because I Said So (with Diane Keaton), License to Wed (with Robin Williams and John Krasinski) and 47 Meters Down as well as This Is Us. She is also a singer. Lilly is played by Heather Matarazzo. Along with Saved! she has been in Scream 3 and 5 for instance. She once revealed she was scheduled to attend a meeting on the 15th floor of the World Trade Center on 9/11 shortly after the attacks occurred but she overslept. Joe is played by Héctor Elizondo who has been in pretty much every movie Garry Marshall has directed - including Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve. He has also been on shows such as Chicago Hope and Last Man Standing. Charlotte is played by Kathleen Marshall, director Garry Marshall's daughter IRL. His twin granddaughters also appear as the little girls who ask Mia for autographs and Garry himself, along with his wife and sister, has a cameo as a guest at the ball. Paolo is played by Larry Miller who has also been in many Garry Marshall movies, as well as 10 Things I Hate About You and The Nutty Professor. He was also on the show Mad About You which starred Lisa Kudrow as Ursula Buffay (her character was incorporated into Friends as Phoebe's twin because of Lisa). Helen, Mia's mum, is played by Caroline Goodall has been in movies such as Schindler's List, Cliffhanger, Hook and Chasing Liberty (in the last one she plays Mandy Moore's mum). Baroness von Troken aka "pretty lady" is played by Bonnie Aarons who plays the demon nun in The Conjuring movie franchise (mainly The Nun). During her audition, Anne Hathaway fell out of her chair and was immediately given the part as clumsy Mia Thermopolis. She was literally born for this role. Also, Garry Marshall's granddaughters watched the tapes of actresses auditioning for the role and they told him he should hire her because she had "good princess hair". Speaking of being clumsy... Mia falling on the bleachers was not scripted. Anne Hathaway slipped on a puddle while doing the scene and director Garry Marshall thought it was so funny that he inserted it in the final cut. Furthermore, the dinner scene when Mia accidentally sets the guy's arm on fire, the flames were supposed to go out when he put his arm in the ice bucket but they didn't. Anne panicked and threw the glass of water on it. Also, in that scene a waiter says "it happens all the time" - The same actor plays a waiter in Pretty Woman who says the same line to Julia Roberts' character. Amanda Bynes, Scarlett Johansson, Emmy Rossum and January Jones auditioned for the role of Mia while Alyssa Milano turned it down, fearing being typecast for playing girl-next-door characters. Dame Helen Mirren was considered for the role of Queen Clarisse. Laura Prepon was offered the role of Lilly but turned it down. Mia's cat Fat Louie was portrayed by four different cats, one of whom was actually Anne Hathaway's own cat. Each cat served a different purpose: one was meant to be carried, another sat still for extended periods of time, a third was used for jumping and stunts and the final (Anne's) is in the movie's final scene. The photo of Mia's father in the movie's opening scenes is a photo of Gerald Hathaway, Anne Hathaway's dad. He is also the one you see in the flashback scene when she's reading the letter. However, the letter is voiced by René Auberjonois. It was Anne Hathaway's idea that the brush should break. She had to wear a clip-in hairpiece to create Mia’s hair pre-makeover and it was affectionately nicknamed "the beast" by the cast and crew. Her eyebrows took about an hour to apply as each tiny hair had to be individually glued in place. It was also Anne's idea to have the pore strip on her nose during the scene when Michael comes with Mia's car. In that scene Mia is also watching one of the movie's deleted scenes. During filming of the tea scene in the garden and the greenhouse scene, airplanes were flying over the area. When the scenes were finished, Garry Marshall gave Anne Hathaway and Dame Julie Andrews awards for "best acting in airplane interference". While filming the final dance scene, Madonna's "Like A Prayer" was played on a boom-box to get natural dancing from the actors on-set (to be then dubbed over by the song that appeared in the final cut - Miracles Happen by Myra) and the actors kept mouthing the words to the song. The on-screen relationship between Clarisse and Joe was not scripted. They just had so much chemistry, especially during the dance rehearsal scene which was improvised. For the first half of the movie, Clarisse wears only black and dark outfits. After Joe says "You've been wearing black too long" during their dance, she starts to add more color to her wardrobe. It is later revealed that her husband, King Rupert, had passed away the previous year. This can be interpreted as her still mourning his death, but as she falls in love with Joe her personality becomes alive and colorful again. The movie was co-produced by Whitney Houston. The scene in which Mia smears her ice cream cone on Lana's cheerleader uniform was her idea. The movie was filmed on the same sound stage Mary Poppins was filmed, which has since been named "The Julie Andrews stage". The rental house in which Julie Andrews lived while filming Mary Poppins was lived in by Garry Marshall while filming this movie. The castle at the end is the Longford Castle located just south of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. Garry Marshall's favorite saying while making a movie "Everybody works!" was loosely translated into Latin to become the Genovian motto "Totus corpum laborat". The pillow Fat Louie is lying on at the end has that phrase. Towards the beginning of the movie when Mia is on the way to school, she crosses the street on her scooter where a limo passes behind her - It's Clarisse's limo. When Clarisse first sees Mia she says "Let me take a look at you". This is the same line Julie Andrews' character says in The Sound of Music when she meets the children. Sorry if this is too long. Kudos to you if you read all that 👍🏻
I loved this one a lot. The second one was nice but i didn't like it as much cut it was a little disappointing in a lot of ways. Especially that we didn't get to see Michael back. They could've re cast the actor if he wanted to focus on his music. Also I don't agree with the comments here cus I too think that her grandma wasn't hard on her. It was an understandable reaction based on what happened.
the movie is based on a 10 book series where it explores every relationship you had regrets about..but for the movie they had to make do (the second movie dumps the books to the side, so never watched it)
I think the difference between this and crazy rich asian is in CRA Michelle Yeoh's perspective is that "you're taking my son away from me!", "how are you deserving enough to enter our family?". Whereas in this movie Julie Andrews' character desperately needs Anne Hathaway's character because her son/heir passed away. So she needs an heir or the kingdom ends. She needs her.
The Queen did berate her. The Queen does not yell at people. She has been stuck in her own bubble and she expected Mia to act like an experienced royal. She showed no caring or empathy, which is worse than yelling. Joe had to intervene and remind the Queen that Mia is a 15 year old girl.
As a working-class Indian who's never been outside the country, these movies were a small glimpse of American school life for me. So it's strange to come across true-blue Americans who have never seen them.😂
25:20- And I have had enough of insolent reactors bashing Lilly calling toxic and any other bullshit they make up because they judge so quickly without mercy. It's exhaustive.
One of the differences between the movie and the book is in the book the Dad has prostate cancer and is infertile, so he's not dead and is a character. I'm not sure why they decided to kill him off instead except maybe they didn't want kids asking what a prostate is? Lol
They killed off the dad because Julie Andrews signed on to be the grandmother. Disney wanted to give her a bigger part, and when they told the author, Meg Cabot, she said, "Oh my God, kill the dad!"
- Mia's father was played by two actors. The one on screen was Anne Hathaway's real father, Gerald Hathaway. The voice-over was actor Rene Auberjoinois, who has done tons of movie, TV, and stage work. He's probably best-known for playing Constable Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. - Michael Moskovitz, the musician who likes Mia, is played by Robert Schwartzman. Brother of Jason Schwartzman, son of Talia Shire, nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, cousin of Nicholas Cage. He is also the front man of the band Rooney. He has not done a lot of movies, preferring his music career. - The novels are very different, and Clarisse is much more dislikable in the books. - Both Julie and Anne are willing to do a third installment if the script is worthwhile, even though Garry Marshall has since passed. - Part 2 has an interesting screenwriter...Shonda Rimes as in Grey's Anatomy, Bridgerton, Scandal, and so many more...
Okay..... You think that she was born in 82, by 2000 she was 18?? How do you math? I was born in 83, and wasn't 18 till 2002.... She would have been 19 at that time....
If and when you see the sequel, keep this in mind: Julie Andrews had to have surgery on her vocal cords from singing her entire life and they had told her she would never sing again. It was really sad since she was mainly known for musicals. It was revealed that she would actually sing in PD2. It was a huge deal at the time. It is actually more talk-singing than her full range, but for all of us who grew up listening to her musicals, it was awesome to hear her sing again.
Yesss! I was so excited and the fact that she did it with Raven made it extra special for me. What an honor for Raven to sing with such an icon.
I have the dvd on the bonus feature they talked about it and they said everyone was crying when she sang even the manliest dudes working on the film crew behind the scenes, It was the first time she sang in public since the surgery.
@@tonzyjcomg yes! Icons
Anne Hathaway literally got the job because she fell off her chair during the audition 😅 also the fall on the bleachers was also just her being clumsy and she just carried on and they kept it in
I got one of my jobs because my bag got stuck when I was trying to leave the interview 🤣So I feel that hahaha

It’s so crazy to compare her to now where she’s this classy Oscar winning actress. She truly did evolve from that awkward teenager into a princess👑❤
The fact that Whitney Houston produced this and ‘The Cheetah Girls’ for Disney is everything! Absolutely genius.
I did not know that! Seriously!?
@@chriscoy-jq2gp Also, the Rodgers and Hammerstein’s version of ‘Cinderella’ staring Brandy
My mom and I have been saying "Goodbye trolley people" for over 20 years 😆
Now that a Princess Diaries 3 has finally been confirmed to be happening, you both need to do a watch of Princess Diaries 2 for all of us.
The fact that Anne Hathaway did this movie and Ella Enchanted in the same year blows my mind
The Princess Diaries was released in 200. Ella enchanted was released in 2004. You might be thinking of Princess Daries 2 which WAS released in 2004.
Such a great movie. And the sequel is good too. One of Julie Andrews' best roles.
One of my favorite moments of this film: "The flags allow me to park anywhere. The flags stay."
16:13 Anne Hathaway turned 18 halfway thru film this movie (so depending on the scene she is either 17 or 18).
Joe is the champ in this movie! Always coming in clutch and understanding of every situation ❤
Joe is awesome. Hector Elizondo, who played him, sort of was director Garry Marshall's good-luck charm -- he appeared in every one of his movies.
There is a small callback to Pretty Woman during the State Dinner. Same waiter when Mia breaks her glass & Vivian tosses her snail: “It happens all the time.” 😂
is the same actor, he was hired two other times to do that exact thing
I like to pretend that the waiter moved up from being a waiter in the hotel restaurant to being part of the diplomatic house staff in "The Princess Diaries". The "makeover" scene in this movie is also a callback to "Pretty Woman" with Larry Miller in practically the same role. Hector Elizondo was in Pretty Woman as well.
My favorite movie growing up as a kid, Julie Andrews & Anne Hathaway really taught me how to be classy but still myself at the end of the day
"Goodbye, trolley people" war ADR-ed, just so you know. Anne Hathaway said in the commentary that it really was her, the fire bucket in the meal was her fault, the cool desert after the meal was also her fault, her adult co actors continued it, so she won't feel bad. Falling on the basketball benches was authentic, and a couple more "klutz" moments were really her. She also said that in the wig combing scene, she thought of the brush breaking part.
Love this movie also its sequel!
The reason why Clarisse was seen as harsh after the beach party was because she jumped to conclusions over something that wasn't Mia's fault. She may not have screamed and yelled but she did come down kinda hard. Also regarding Lily, I will forever defend her despite her rude behavior. She admits that she needs an attitude adjustment. She doesn't like being mean so she's working on it.
I can’t cuz why was she like “aren’t you over your dads death it was like 3 months ago?!” 😂
This film is cute but I think the second is actually better. I hope they react to it.
Love the second film, though it would have been better if they had actually filmed in Europe and not on a big set.
Nope in terms of style yes but the ending has all of us confuse 😕 we love the first one
"I didn't know that being a princess was CONTAGIOUS!" 🤣😂😅
If they ever get to making a third, I really hope they bring back Michael. It was a shame he wasn't in the sequel.
maybe as a friend but not as a love interest. he was just an archetype whereas nicholas had actual development and actually stepped up (i doubt they're still looking at these comments but just in case, i dont want to be more specific to avoid spoilers)
If you've ever watched "Avatar: The Last Airbender", Hector Elizondo (Joe) was the voice of Wan Shi Tong, the owl spirit of knowledge from "The Library".
I used to have the biggest crush on Mandy Moore and Anne Hathaway.
It's hard to believe that both women are now in their 40's and still look good.
Mandy Moore is 40. Born on the exact same day as I was.
@@MichaelPallada And she's still gorgeous
Mandy Moore is just 🥵
@@Ranakk900 She most definitely is 😁
@@MichaelPallada but you know what mate... Julie Andrews is way hotter than these two . Lol
I think the mother of Anne Hathaway’s character played Mora in The Movie Hook starring Robin Williams.
I’ve seen both movies more times than I can count and never once clocked that 😂
Yep
Fun fact and can't see anyone else has put this but the the actor who plays josh is the voice of sid in Toy story.
You should definitely watch the sequel. I think its a good watch and adds to the story
I’m a grown man and I still enjoy this movie!
Sandra Oh is so funny in this movie. Also, criminally underrated in ‘Bean: The Movie’
Fu fact: Julie Andrews actually premiered the role of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady and the princess lessons of this movie always feels like a great homage to that.
It would have been cool to have a "I think she's got it!" moment.
I feel the same way, did I miss high school?
i always like to remind people the mia was FIFTEEN when those reporters photographed and published those nearly nude pictures
I want Michael for the 3er movie so much!! he was my childhood crush
The one woman in the red dress at 16:34 she plays the Nun
Cant wait for them to watch Princess diaries 2!

I think the difference between this and crazy rich asian is in CRA Michelle Yeoh's perspective is that "you're taking my son away from me!", "how are you deserving enough to enter our family?".
Whereas in this movie Julie Andrews' character desperately needs Anne Hathaway's character because her son/heir passed away. So she needs an heir or the kingdom ends. She needs her.
YEAAH! One of my favorite movies, glad y'all are reacting to this 😊
This was one of my twin sister's favorite disney originals, I will admit that I watched it every time she did lol I've had a crush on Anne ever since.
14:37 This part is my favorite, love it, my nerves get wracked man, with nostalgia.😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jaby's laughter is absolutely contagious!!!
😀😃😄😆😅😂🤣
12:45 - Vivian doing a “people seeing Vivian impression” 😂😁
Omg finally ... pls do part 2 also
Why did you say that face!! 😂 The scene where she gets her transformation lol
This is such a cute movie! It’s absolutely fabulous 👏🏽
Whitney Houston was a producer on this movie and the sequel
The Queen did berate her. The Queen does not yell at people. She has been stuck in her own bubble and she expected Mia to act like an experienced royal. She showed no caring or empathy, which is worse than yelling. Joe had to intervene and remind the Queen that Mia is a 15 year old girl.
Agreed. Joe is the unsung hero of this movie.
Ya’ll gotta watch the second one. It’s the better one out of the 2, and that’s saying a lot since they are both excellent movies 😊
Kinda Similar to "Looking for Alibrandi" from 2000 but with Disney Princess Glow Up. still a decent movie to just be on TV and watch
I love 2000s romcoms Where hector elizondo is in.He's THE MAN
He's also great in Pretty Woman.
Joe needs a cape. Freaking hero that guy.
Please do part 2 soon!!
Why does Hollywood keep trying to convince us that Anne Hathaway isn’t breathtakingly gorgeous?
What's another example of this happening
@@samgradyfilm The Devil Wears Prada. The Idea of You.
@@samgradyfilm Devil Wears Prada, Rachel Getting Married
Ms Gupta supremacy 🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂
Caroline Goodall (Anne Hathaway's mom) is in the movie Jaby and Andrew just watched (Cliffhanger). She's John Lithgow's love interest (sorta).
The intro song is Supergirl by Robyn S. She had a hit in the 90's with 'Show Me Love'. One of the overseas singers who had a hit or two in the 90's.
She dropped the R&B act and went more techno in the 2000s and released a few more hits. I think Every Heartbeat is her most successful song worldwide.
No, it was Sung by Krystal Harris.
@@cindylou3205 You're right. Robyn S had a song by the same name, so I got them mixed up.
Please react to the second one! It’s so good. And baby Chris Pine! Soo good!
I can’t lie when I was younger I really enjoyed this film honestly 😂
What about now?
@@tiffanykim2773I forgot it existed but I watched the reaction then I watched it myself lol
" i dont remember anyone in high school being self reflected " 😅😮i was
Nostalgia hit 😩
Great Reaction. Can you please react to CHRONICLES OF NARNIA ( all three parts).
It’s been 2 months!! Pleasee watch the second one now!!
I was mad about the whole beach scene!!
Anne Hathaway was 18 when she made this movie.
Waiting for part 2!!!! ASAP please
Fun Fact : 29:20 That is Anne's Hathaway's real father
Ma’am you and Sandra Oh are twins. 💕i mean that in a good way.
Thank y’all for the reaction. I loved it
Oh my, you are winning my heart with these reactions! First Twilight and now this??? Amazing choice guys!
7:22 that’s another movie is Colin Firth and Amanda Bynes.
Julie Andrews is also the voice of the Leviathan in AquaMan.
No PD2?
So badly waiting for the continuation of the twilight saga reactions!
lol, maybe they stopped for a reason, I stopped watching at one movie because she kept crying in her bed the entire movie
As a working-class Indian who's never been outside the country, these movies were a small glimpse of American school life for me. So it's strange to come across true-blue Americans who have never seen them.😂
Right??? They haven't seen twilight movies and inside out.. are they being real, got me thinking 🤔
25:20- And I have had enough of insolent reactors bashing Lilly calling toxic and any other bullshit they make up because they judge so quickly without mercy. It's exhaustive.
Yaaaaaayyyyy Jaby you're one of us now... First the twilight series and now this!! ❤😁
You should watch “What a girl wants” Classic movie similar to this genre
After this now you can watch and review Kate and Leopold. You guys will really love it especially Achara and Kristen
Every daughter is a princess. I have one myself ;-))
l was a collegiate hurdler and l’m clumsy as hell. These two things can exist at once lol.
One of the differences between the movie and the book is in the book the Dad has prostate cancer and is infertile, so he's not dead and is a character. I'm not sure why they decided to kill him off instead except maybe they didn't want kids asking what a prostate is? Lol
They killed off the dad because Julie Andrews signed on to be the grandmother. Disney wanted to give her a bigger part, and when they told the author, Meg Cabot, she said, "Oh my God, kill the dad!"
You should check out Julie Andrews in Victoria/Victoria
Such a sweet movie. I think the sequel is really great as well.
Fun Fact: Singer Whitney Houston was apart of producing credits on The Princess Diaries! RIP Nippy!!
Everyone loves to comment that when someone reacts to this movie.🙄
@@tamara_diamonds422okay! 👍🏿
PART TWO PLS
16:34 is Bonnie Aarons Aka Valak in the Nun movies :D
Have you watched S.O.B.? It is Julie in a role unlike any other.
- Mia's father was played by two actors. The one on screen was Anne Hathaway's real father, Gerald Hathaway. The voice-over was actor Rene Auberjoinois, who has done tons of movie, TV, and stage work. He's probably best-known for playing Constable Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
- Michael Moskovitz, the musician who likes Mia, is played by Robert Schwartzman. Brother of Jason Schwartzman, son of Talia Shire, nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, cousin of Nicholas Cage. He is also the front man of the band Rooney. He has not done a lot of movies, preferring his music career.
- The novels are very different, and Clarisse is much more dislikable in the books.
- Both Julie and Anne are willing to do a third installment if the script is worthwhile, even though Garry Marshall has since passed.
- Part 2 has an interesting screenwriter...Shonda Rimes as in Grey's Anatomy, Bridgerton, Scandal, and so many more...
Tea Set: Royal Albert China. Only know that as my mom had a set🤷♀️
I couldn’t imagine being in my first movie with JULIE ANDREWS.
The movie is amazing though I really enjoy the books. A very different tale.
I love your eyebrows. We'll call them Frida and Kahlo.
Omg jaby I can't believe you're watching princess diaries for the first time,now next do the reaction of legally blonde please
I just realized that the couple at the state dinner kinda look like the couple from corpse bride
The sec one is just so cute too
Is it possible to do a reaction to Joy Luck Club? I feel like it is a forgotten, top-tier, quintessential film.
32:22 I almost choked on my ramen broth! 🤣
Anne was 19 when this was filmed.
The much prettier lady is Bonnie Aarons, the nun demon Valak in The Conjuring
Okay.....
You think that she was born in 82, by 2000 she was 18??
How do you math?
I was born in 83, and wasn't 18 till 2002.... She would have been 19 at that time....
Goodbye Trolley People!
