I just happened to rent this movie on a whim. It turned out to be a very refreshing spin on the old fairytale of girl meets prince and falls in love. The story is different and exciting, and the prince is very charming, and very handsome. I must have watched this movie over and over for about 10 days. The story is for kids, but the romance and the charm of the movie is for any age. I loved the music and Anne Hathaway of Princess Diaries has a fabulous singing voice. She belted out a song by Queen that was just so awesome. The music was fun and made me want to learn the words, the story just was so cool. It combined many fairy tales into one, and made a delightful combination. Hugh Dancy I had seen in Daniel Deronda and so he was no stranger to me. I thought he was handsome in that film as well as this one. I liked the comedy of this film as well. The different characters, and the lively sets, made it one of my favorites. I sometimes just turn it on to listen to the music. The dance scenes have great music as well. Whoever choreographed this movie just did a super job. Anne Hathaway played the part so well, she was a joy to watch. She is just so pretty. She and Dancy were pure magic on the screen together. I hope they make another film together. This is a film the whole family can enjoy, it should be right up there with any Disney classic.
