Anyone in it: Yes, but let’s not go there.

Plot: Now settled in Genovia, Princess Mia faces a new revelation: she's being primed for an arranged marriage to a English suitor.

Comment: Ok, I saw the last hour-ish of this movie…much more than I would ever have liked to have witnessed. Unfortunately for this movie, I still had the impacts of the last two films lingering in my head. And this movie was too…I want-to-be-a-princess story for me to take. In all fairness, good movie for kids and I’m sure many people may like it. But after what I had seen (and felt from what I saw, this movie had a lot going against it). I never saw the first one (whew) and it didn’t seem like you really needed to. Why did I find it so terrible? It was slow, and the whole point of the movie failed to keep me interested. The parts I watched spent relentless time over matters that didn’t really matter. They fretted over getting married the whole movie. In some cases I think this can work, but here it was just…hurry up I don’t care. I actually preferred other chick flicks to this. Maybe if I wanted to be a princess or feel like one I would enjoy this fairy-tale…which it does a good job at being…but could have done so in half an hour. Apologese to my gf whom likes the film more than I do. I thank her for keeping me grounded by viewing films as such (but odds of me seeing this one twice are nil).

Score: F
