Teen actress Anne Hathaway gives an endearing performance in Garry Marshall's delightful Disney comedy, 'The Princess Diaries'.



Hathaway plays Mia, a high school misfit who has resigned herself to social invisibility. Mia and her best friend, Lilly (Heather Matarazzo), are outcasts. While Lilly relishes the role, Mia just wishes the cute popular boy she likes, Josh (Erik von Detten), would notice her. Mia's life changes dramatically when her grandmother (Andrews) contacts her and Mia finds out she is heir to the throne of Genovia, a small European country between France and Spain. The klutzy, socially awkward girl doesn't think she''s up to the job, but she agrees to be coached in regal manners by her grandmother before deciding if she wants to become a princess.
