Princess Diaries
Books vs. Movies
Princess Diaries
Which one did you think was better, the Princess Diaries books, or movies?
I personally liked the first movie, and all of the books. I didn't exactly enjoy the second movie as much, mostly because it didn't really go along with the books.
So, what are YOUR opinions?

I really enjoyed both movies, but I only read the first book. I was quite unimpressed with the book that I read. I thought the content of the movie was better. The characters seemed nicer inthe movies. The moral values in the movies, while not always stellar, were better than those in the books. I read the book a few years ago, so I can't remember everything, but I do remember not liking it nearly as much as the movie.

Yes, I do have to agree with you there. I was actually kind of appalled with the moral values of the book. But I personally thought the book had a better story-line.Catspaw wrote:I really enjoyed both movies, but I only read the first book. I was quite unimpressed with the book that I read.

I haven't seen the movies but I did read a section of one of the books... my preteen niece was reading it. I can't believe that's considered good reading for impressionable young ones! Sorry about the rant but it's so frustrating to watch my niece addicted to Brittney Spears, Hillary Duff, and stuff like that when I'd love to get her listening to AIO instead. She's heard a few shows but doesn't seem very interested. Why is all the marketing to young girls focused on making themselves look good and attracting boys? Gah! It's not like they're getting married anytime soon.
End of rant.

I like ranting...and was also quite surprised at the book's...shall we say "frankness" about different adolescent issues and such. Not appropriate for young girls. The movies were okay...the first one had toooooooo much kissing and was went a little overboard for its "G" rating. The second movie was pretty clean...funny in spots...but like most "family" films nowadays, it was lame-o.Chandler wrote:I haven't seen the movies but I did read a section of one of the books... my preteen niece was reading it.

I haven't read the books, but I love the movie!
