Critic Reviews

  • Ed Park, Village Voice

    Scenes end abruptly, laughs are as rare as yetis, and the overarching question seems to be: Can we turn this into a franchise?

  • Sara Gebhardt, Washington Post

    Sometimes charming, sometimes a tad too silly and all the time predictable, Princess Diaries 2 gives you what you'd expect and doesn't take many chances besides allowing for the possibility that a princess might be okay without a husband.

  • Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

    There's not enough story in it to fill a shoebox.

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    Too blandly insubstantial to expand its appeal beyond its target demographic.

  • Claudia Puig, USA Today

    We all love a good fairy tale, but the enchantment is missing in this predictable sequel.
