 THE PRINCESS DIARIES (G): ChildCare Action Project (CAP) Media Analysis Report MAR21050
THE PRINCESS DIARIES (G) -- really is a G! Anne Hathaway stars as Amelia "Mia" Thermopolis in this delightful romp of "rags to riches", rather "regular to royalty." Mia, the nerdy social misfit as welcome as a screen door on a submarine, turns out to be royalty.

As Mia stands in front of the mirror in her school uniform with heavy rimmed glasses and hair that looks as if someone set off a firecracker in her head, she pouts about "This is as good as it gets." That sets the "stage" for the rest of the show.
