*I CAN'T HANDLE* The Princess Diaries (2001) Reaction: FIRST TIME WATCHING 

It's actually because of Julie Andrews the dad is dead in the movies. They told Meg their plans to make the Queen more important, and give a lot of the dads lines to her, so Meg asked who they got as the queen. They told her, and she was like, "Kill the dad!"

Anne Hathaway got the part because when she went in for her audition, she went to sit down, missed the chair, and fell. They went, "That's her."

You need to watch "13 Going on 30" ... it's another one that is silly on the surface but pretty good when you dig a little deeper.

Joe is such a sweet father figure even if he gives 'I'm definitely capable of unaliving people' vibes.

"no one can make you feel inferior without your consent" now that's a quote to be framed and put on wall

Fun Fact: The scene where Anne falls on the bleachers was an actual slip! It just fit so perfectly they kept it in. Also! The lady with the striking features at the dinner table with the big pink dress @20:26 is the lady who plays The Nun in The Conjuring as well as The Nun movies.

24:39 Speaking as a shy girl who considered herself invisible to boys in regards to romance, it is reasonable that she doesn't have a clue about her friend crushing on her. Remember that earlier when he asked her out, she asked him if this was a date, date, and he denied it. I would have assumed, too, that he only saw me as a friend.

Some fun facts for you Nick: the guy who says "it happens all the time" when Anne breaks the glass, is the same guy who said the same line in Pretty Woman. He also makes an appearance in PD2, and says the same line. Anne's slip on the bleachers was totally unscripted, and the fact that Heather Mattarazzo (Lily) kept going is a testament to her ability to keep rolling. Ella Enchanted happened years after Princess Diaries.

Ok, an absolute must is PD2!!! Also, Heather Mattarazzo (Lily) is so underrated as an actor. She's so fantastic in everything she does, so it's great to see a reactor appreciate her!

- This was actually Anne's film debut. She did a TV show before this, but this put her on the map. Much like Julia Roberts with Pretty Woman, director Garry Marshall found Anne and the rest is history. She and Julie Andrews became quite close, and even though Garry Marshall has passed the two of them are trying to get a third film Princess Diaries film off the ground with Disney. - Michael, the guy who liked Mia before, is Robert Schwartzman, who comes from a huge Hollywood family. His mother is Talia Shire (Adrian in the Rocky films and Connie Corleone in The Godfather films), his uncle is writer-producer-director Frances Ford Coppola, his cousins are writer-director Sofia Coppola and Oscar-winning actor Nicholas Cage, and his brother is Jason Schwartzman. Robert is also the frontman of the band Rooney. - Garry Marshall also directed Pretty Woman, Beaches, Runaway Bride, and the sequel The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, and was the creator of such TV shows as Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley (starring his sister Penny Marshall), and Mork and Mindy (Robin Williams breakthrough series). His daughter Kathleen plays Charlotte, the secretary, and his son Scott has a small role as one of the paparazzi when the secret gets out about Mia. - You mentioned My Fair Lady...Julie Andrews became a star on Broadway playing Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady and lost the role to Audrey Hepburn for the movie. However, Julie came out ahead. Audrey was not even nominated for an Oscar as Eliza, but Julie won her Best Actress Oscar for Mary Poppins the same year as My Fair Lady won a ton of other Oscars, including Best Actor for Rex Harrison, who originated his role as Henry Higgins with Julie on stage. - Caroline Goodall plays Helen, Mia's mom. She was in Steven Spielberg's Hook and Schindler's List. She's British. - Joe or Joseph is played by Hector Elizondo, who appeared in almost every Garry Marshall film in some way, shape, or form. He is also one of those character actors who has done everything, basically, he's "that guy who was in that thing!" and is always working. - This was based on the first of 12 novels and 4 tie-in books in the young adult genre by Meg Cabot. The movie deviates A LOT from the book, and the second movie is probably not even really based on any of the books, just using the characters established. An example is that Queen Clarisse is not like Julie's performance in the books, but is kind mean, and domineering. - Mia's father is played by two men. One is an actor, one is not. The actor Rene Auberjonois, a character actor who was Father Mulcahy in the film MASH, and is best known as Constable Odo in the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is the voice reading the letter to Mia. The man on film is Gerald Hathaway, Anne's real father, who you see in the photo and writing the letter in flashback.

Anne Hathaway falling on the bleachers was an accident and not in script but they kept filming and liked the scene so they put it in the movie

9:26 "You know, you look like Shaft." "Like who?" John Shaft was the protagonist of the 1971 film Shaft. He was a hyper-masculine black private detective in New York City who typically wore leather coats with turtlenecks and was accompanied by a funk/soul soundtrack. He became a cultural icon. In modern versions, Samuel L Jackson has portrayed Shaft.

The mean girl is played by Mandy Moore

This film is iconic, and Sandra Oh took her part and made it ICONIC!

Here's a few comedy movies you could react to "The devil wears Prada" with Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. Also "13 going on 30", "The ugly truth", "Just go with it", "The break up", "Sweet home Alabama". They are all time feel good movies, i've watched them multiple times.🙃

37:50 Anne wasn't younger in Ella's Enchanted. Ella's Enchanted was made 3 years after Princess Diaries. She's younger in this movie.

The sequel is so iconic too!! Your reaction would be great:)

Ella was filmed the same year as this movie. If you watch the sequel you'll get to see a baby Chris Pine in his movie debut.

I’m so glad you’re enjoyed this! I never really read the book but this was my first Anne Hathaway movie and yeah I’m a big fan! Fun fact: When Anne Hathaway went to audition for the role, she literally fell out of the chair during the audition and right there is when the director knew that she was their Princess Mia of Genovia. Also I love Julie Andrews! I think my favorite part has always been where Mia and her Clarisse have a day out, and she is educated on the meaning of shut up in the teenage language. Joe is certainly the MVP; the moment when Mia fell on the bleachers, Héctor Elizondo was genuinely concerned as that moment was not scripted. I really recommend you watch the sequel as it’s not only funny, but as charming and empowering. Other Anne Hathaway films I recommend are Les Misérables, The Devil Wears Prada, Ella Enchanted, Get Smart, The Hustle, Rohan Dhal The Witches (2020), and Ocean 8. For more Julie Andrews I must recommend Eloise at the Plaza, Eloise at Christmas, and Tooth Fairy. For Héctor Elizondo, I recommend Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, Tortilla Soup, Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, and The Lego Batman Movie. 👩🏻‍🦱👑📔🖋

15:22 there are so many Eleanor Roosevelt quotes that are absolutely timeless

Funny you mention My Fair Lady; Julie Andrews originated the role of Eliza Doolittle on Broadway. Ace reference😁

Finaly someone who likes Lilly as a friend!! I love her character...

Charming is the perfect word to describe this movie! I like that they didn’t go the cheesy route, made it sweet and Mia as vulnerable. Great reaction! ☺️

Don't care what anyone says, Julie Andrews was a hottie in this film, and is still beautiful today. Elegance is timeless!

Another difference: the movie Grandmother is a Saint compared to the books. In the books, SHE was the one that told the press that Mia was a princess, not her stylist.

The Princess Diaries 2 is so good also. A great cast. You will like also. Love these movies. Would love it if they had went on and done at least one more to complete the story.

Man, you're such a wholesome reactor! It's such a treat to see how genuinely you enjoy these movies!

Mom was too much of a free spirit to give it all up to become a princess. So they parted ways as friends.

I’m pretty sure this was Anne Hathaway’s breakout role when she was 18! An iconic film 👸🏻

The real heroes of this movie are the Prime Minister and his wife. 20:00 It's a common thing among royals to do. If a guest or the royal themselves embarrasses themselves, do the thing too to take the attention off of them. There's a story that Queen Elizabeth had a dinner with African leaders, and when they were brought lemon water to dip their fingers, they thought it was for drinking, and did so. The queen then proceeded to do the same thing too.

The chauffeur, actor Hector Elizondo, plays a similar character in the movie "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. It's a great romantic comedy that I will hope you watch if you haven't already seen it. The happily ever after ending was pure Disney at its best!

"None of them are even close to Cordelia in their skill"🤣🤣🤣 Props on the nod to what is probably what brought in your biggest fan base😘 So many people come in for a specific show, and stay for the reactor himself🥰🥰 Don't get me wrong. You know I love more than just your Buffy reactions. But I can't deny that's what brought me to your channel originally🤷‍♀️ If that was it I wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't be on your other channel. That is all you (and your gorgeous hair that I am still jealous of 😉) Not the first, and probably not the last time I've mentioned that part🥰

This is such a special movie to me. I absolutely love it! I feel like I know so many details about it from the scene where Mia fell on her butt on the bleachers was a blooper that was kept in, the woman who plays Charlotte is the director Garry Marshall's daughter, the man with the camera who Mia asked what everyone was waiting for and he said "we're waiting for you" was played by Garry's son Scott, and the girl at the garage saying "he plays guitar and can sing he is so hot" I believe is Anne Hathaway's cousin and the man playing Mia's dad is Anne's actual father who is still alive. I love that you appreciate Lily cause so many people think she's a bad friend. They just don't get that she is very self-aware of her flaws and is trying to work through them.

On a fun note,(Spoilers for the books!) in the books Mia and Lana actaully become friends, it's wild. Lily is honestly pretty awful to her 'best friend' and it causes a rift... and another girl named Tina is more of Mia's best friend. The books are so good and they follow Mia from 14 up till shes 26.

To think that The Baroness is The Nun from the Conjuring universe and Anna the bully is Rapunzel in Tangled and Josh Bryant is Sid Phillips in Toy Story!

Oh WOW, I didn't know you were James' older brother!! Just saw your Gladiator reaction on White Noise!! So cool to see you all have such great success, keep it up!

The 'somebody likes you' gave my 00s teenage self some feelings, because it is literally a poem in the book 'you may not know, but somebody likes you' and 'you may not know, but I like you too', which I thought was the pinnacle of romance at the time

This movie was literally my childhood. So many fun facts about it! Princess Diaries is based on a book of the same name by Meg Cabot. There are some huge differences though, like Queen Clarisse is not nice at all and her & Mia don't have a good relationship. Mia's dad is also alive in the books but has cancer and Mia & Michael don't get together until much later. However, the second movie just erases the rest of the books and takes a whole different direction. As much as I love Chris Pine I'm still kinda pissed about that but the movie is still very funny and Anne & Chris's chemistry is off the charts. This was Anne Hathaway's first movie role and her breakout role, she was 18. During her ONLY audition she fell out of her chair and was immediately given the part as clumsy Mia Thermopolis. She was literally born for this role. Speaking of... Mia falling on the bleachers was not scripted. Furthermore, the dinner scene when Mia accidentally sets the guy's arm on fire, the flames were supposed to go out when he put his arm in the ice bucket but they didn't. Anne Hathaway panicked and threw the glass of water on it which was not scripted. Also, in that scene a waiter says 'it happens all the time'. The same actor played a waiter in Pretty Woman who said the same line to Julia Roberts' character. Both films were directed by Garry Marshall. The on-screen relationship between Queen Clarisse and Joseph was not scripted. They just had so much chemistry, especially during the dance rehearsal scene (which was improvised). The movie was filmed on the same sound stage Mary Poppins was filmed, which has since been named "The Julie Andrews stage". Anne Hathaway had to wear a clip-in hairpiece to create Mia’s hair pre-makeover. It was affectionately nicknamed 'the beast' by the cast and crew. Her eyebrows took about an hour to apply as each tiny hair had to be individually glued in place. Kathleen Marshall, who played Charlotte, is director Garry Marshall's daughter IRL. His twin granddaughters also appear as the little girls who ask Mia for autographs and Garry himself, along with his wife and sister, has a cameo as a guest at the ball. The photo of Mia's father in the movie's opening scenes is a photo of Anne Hathaway's dad. He is also the one you see in the flashback scene when she's reading the letter. Mia's cat Fat Louie was portrayed by four different cats, one of whom was actually Anne Hathaway's own cat. Each cat served a different purpose: one was meant to be carried, another sat still for extended periods of time, a third was used for jumping and stunts, and the final (Anne's) is in the film's final scene. The movie was co-produced by Whitney Houston. She conceived the scene in which Mia smears her ice cream cone on Lana's cheerleader uniform. Joe is played by Hector Elizondo who has been in every film Garry Marshall has directed. Michael is played by Robert Schwartzman who's real life band, Rooney, appears as the character's band. He is related to the Coppola family and Nicolas Cage. He wanted to change his last name in the credits to Cage in honor of his cousin but the film's promotional material had already been finalized. Lilly is played by Heather Matarazzo. She once revealed she was scheduled to attend a meeting on the 15th floor of the World Trade Center on 9/11 shortly after the attacks occurred, but she overslept. Lana is played by Mandy Moore who voiced Rapunzel in Tangled and has starred in films such as A Walk To Remember (which I recommend), Saved! (with Heather Matarazzo, Jena Malone & Macaulay Culkin), Chasing Liberty and 47 Meters Down, as well as NBC's hit series This Is Us. She is also a musician. I could add so much more but this is already too much!

If you are a young actor and you can hold your own on-screen with Julie Andrews so well, I'd say that your future is bright. Needless to say, Annie has shone. Kudos, too (as you've mentioned), to Hector Elizondo who brought so much class to what could have been just another security guard. And also to Garry Marshall for putting together such a fun movie.

Hey Nick! Since you asked for some suggestions, I think you'll also enjoy the following - 🔹13 Going On 30 (Jennifer Garner) 🔹50 First Dates (Drew Barrymore) 🔹Just Like Heaven (Reese Witherspoon) There are still a lot, but I don't want to overwhelm you, haha! Great reaction as usual! Stay safe! 😊

I saw this movie and thought Anne Hathaway is going to be a big star

in the books, she never has a crush on the popular guy. It was on Lily's brother, and it took her forever to realize that he liked her right back.

This was Anne Hathaway's first movie. I hope you do the sequel too. Another movie you should watch is "A League of Their Own".

I loved this movie! My second name is Anne and very quickly I was called Anne Hathaway in high school because people thought that I looked like her 😂. Such a fun and sweet movie! Julie Andrews in a legend!

9:03 that's Héctor Elizondo! he's a character actor and he kind of has the same energy as Jonathan Hyde in Jumanji where you're nodding along when he's playing Robin Williams' dad and then you see him come out of the board game with a rifle and you're like "Leo point*. he's in Pretty Woman. great example of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere's on screen chemistry. i recommend both that and Runaway Bride if you want to do a double feature of Julia/Richard romantic comedies.

Now you have to do the next one! ❤👸

Nick, you are on a roll lately. All my fav movies!! Sweet Home Alabama next ;)

My favourite thing about this movie, is that it's canonically a part of the book universe: In the books, Mia complains about the movie making her grandmother seem nice.

Love this movie, and the sequel is probably one of the few sequels that I love by Disney. Love that the accident prone characteristic was added due to Anne Hathaway being so accident prone on set.

I'd have such a crush on Jeremiah if I went to this school. He's so cool. And this movie falls into the cathegory of 90's/00's tropes that made me feel bad about wearing glasses and having curly hair.

"Manners maketh man" is not a Colin Firth quote, originally, I hope you realize. LOL It's primarily considered to have been made famous by William of Wykeham, the Archbishop of Lincoln in the late 1300s (appointed 1361), and Clerk of Works and Surveyor to Edward III in the 1350s. Wykeham himself likely took it from an earlier source. ;)

The reason for the pole is their house is a converted fire station.

This movie was breakthrough in the ways you mentioned, even when it cane out. Love the way they used SF as a character. I saw it in the theater with my two young nieces and a whole slew of little girls. The way they laughed their hearts out at the funny parts is one of my favorite experiences ever.

At 18:30 Ann actually tripped and they kept it, she wasnt supposed to trip there.

The reaction of the Queen when she said she wanted to show her her baby is hilarious, considering my reaction when she uttered the line, "I need to see your brother about my baby"😂

I so hope that you're going to react to The Princess Diaries 2 because I think that one is even better than the first

Anne actually slipped and fell down those steps it wasn’t acting they just kept it in because it worked with how clumsy the character is 😂

You should definitely do reactions to Miss Congeniality 2 and Princess Diaries 2! Other suggestions: - She's The Man -Or any other Amanda Bynes movie lol - Any Sandra Bullock movie. The Lost City is newer, not 2000s, but its so funny! - Bring It On - 13 Going On 30 - Daddy Day Care - Holes

I really enjoy your videos can you please do Parent trap? It was my favorite movie as a kid :)

Someone finally reacted to a movie the other day that I'd been hoping someone would, it's called drop dead gorgeous and it's the funniest damn movie and has an impressive list of big name celebs, it's like a mockumentary and it's HYSTERICAL, if you could do that one I don't think you'll be disappointed lol, get on it before everyone else does because it's only a matter of time.

Fun Fact: The love interest (Robert Schwartzman) is/was the front man for the band Rooney. His brother is Jason Schwartzman. During The garage scene, they are playing a Rooney song (Blueside). He is also related to the Coppola family. I HAD A HUGE crush on him. & still do now that I am rewatching along with you. 😂 See below comment some else posted for more info 😂🎉

I had to put together a clip reel of scenes from this film for Mindy Burbano, the gym teacher. When you mention Cordelia, was that a Buffy reference? I always thught Mindy coukd play her older sister. They're just two years apart. Msndy Moore plays a mean girl in this. Based on my brief encounter with her and most other reports, she's actually a sweetheart. The musician is Robert Schwartzman of the band Rooney. He also happens to be a Coppola. His mother is Talia Shire (Adrian fron Rocky), her uncle is director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather), His brotger is actor Jason Schwartzman who was the original drummer for Phantom Planet, his cousin is Nicolas Cage. No big deal.

Princess diaries 2 is also so fun! Would defo recommend a watch 😊

I love this movie. Ann Hathaway was perfect for this role. I thought they did a great job casting this movie.😊

Had the worst start to my week and seeing this was uploaded made my day SOOOO much better! Thank you for all your amazing reactions 😊

For another Julie Andrews movie, check out "Victor Victoria" - it's a comedy. (Julie Andrews was married to Blake Edwards - who produced several Pink Panther movies.)

19:01 is the woman that plays The Nun!

this is one of those guilty pleasure of mine. i secretly love chick flicks. but i would never tell anyone i know that 🤣🤣

YESSS the princess diaries franchise is so incredible the second movie was one i watched on repeat daily as a child 😂

If you're looking for a wholesome just feel good movie I highly highly recommendrecommend, That Thing You Do. It's 1 of my all time favorite movies preferably the extended edition but the theatrical version is just as good. I love to see your reaction

There's a house here where I live that was once a firehouse. And yes, they still have the pole.

absolutely loving your reactions to the 90s classics! This movie really does have a star cast, but I don't think anyone will ever approach the awesomeness of Joe 😌

An older classic comedy that you should check out is Some Like It Hot. It stars Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe.

Great reaction. Now I kinda want to see you react to the sequel as well.

I feel like no one mentioned this, but I'm pretty sure that Joe is actually head of security and not just a chauffeur, but I could be wrong.

You are the only person I've ever seen compliment Lily. She's on so many lists of the worse best friend character in films. Of course, she put her down verbally but she used her for her princess status. She was fine with it when she got to ride around in a limo and try to use her for her radio show. But then when she got a makeover then suddenly she wasn't okay with it. The actress was so believable that basically no one liked her character. You were definitely more optimistic than a lot of people lol

You should check out Heartbreakers. It has so many great Actors including Jean Hackman, Ray Liotta Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sigourney Weaver

I'm new to the channel but does anyone else like the way he says, "Oh dang, oh dang?" Also, kudos for mentioning the note on "practicing gliding" from Miss Congeniality.

The bleacher slip was an accident when filming, but it was so in keeping with the character they kept it in.

In the books her dad is alive but can’t have anymore heirs because he had testicular cancer, and her grandma is really mean. Lol They Disney-fied it for the movies which I think worked out better.

aww now you HAVE to watch the second one! joe has one of the best lines in the history of cinema and i am not even exaggerating on that lol

This was Anne's first movie role. I thought it was her first role ever, but turns out she was in a TV show called "Get Real"

You may remember the hair dresser from Pretty Woman as well.also did some NCIS..

Ooooh exciting!! I’ve been on RU-vid the last hour and the only thing that’s popped up was your last friends reaction, I finally decide to leave the house and check my phone and see this 😂 one of my fave movie series

Been a while since I’ve seen this and it brings back memories! Love the “Jaws” comment too LOL

Hathaway not famous at the time. Early Mandy Moore (singer) movie role too. Love Hector Elizondo (Last Man Standing + more), Larry Miller 10 Things I Hate About You, Necessary Roughness, and more. And, of course, Sandra Oh who was also not famous at the time. Look for early Chris Pine role in the sequel.

Even though I love the Princess Diaries, my favorite Anne Hathaway comedy is Ella Enchanted! A must watch!

sence u seem to continue this path :D am tossing some more: The 40 year Old Virgin -05 The Devil Wear Prada -06 Ready To Rumble -00 EASY A -10

You liked the character of Joe - well he is even better in the second movie. One of the few occasions where the second movie is as good as the first.

when Mia falls on the bleachers that's not scripted, but they kept it because it fits Mia's character and the actors all played it off as it happened

This was Hathaway's first movie :)

Can't wait for you to watch Princess Diaries 2!!

Thanks for this❤ I highly recommend watching the sequel!!

I've never once had an "ice cream headache." I even *tried* to get one once, and it didn't work. Ice cream, shakes, other icy-cold stuff....doesn't do a thing except put on calories. There are actually a few of us out there who don't get brain freeze. 😆

You Should Definitely Watch And React To “The Princess Diaries 2 : Royal Engagement,” “The Wedding Planner” (Starring Jennifer Lopez & Matthew McConaughey), “27 Dresses” Starring Katherine Heigl.

Heck yeah I love this movie! Used to watch it almost every night before bed on VHS when I was a kid. It was this, Lilo & Stitch, and The Emperors New Groove on rotation for nightly movies.

Princess Diaries 1 and 2 have really held up well in all ways including messaging. ‘Enchanted’ (2007) with Amy Adams (not Anne Hathaway) is another wholesome and delightful watch. Hope to see you watch it along with Princess Diaries 2.

Fun fact: Gaten Matarazzo who plays Dustin on Stranger Things alongside Maya Hawke daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, is actually not the son of Heather Matarazzo,(who plays Lilly)But his mother is *A* Heather Matarazzo. (There has been widespread misinformation in the past about which Heather Matarazzo his mother is. Heather is just great in any role she plays. I highly recommend a movie with her called Strike! aka All I Wanna Do. A highly underrated film with a huge cast of burgeoning starlet actors/actresses.

I definitely second the nomination for watching Les Miserables. I loved the musical long before the movie version, and I was not sure that they would do it justice. But the movie version definitely far exceeded my expectations. I never knew Anne Hathaway could sing like that🤯 and to make it even more amazing, that was one of the first musicals turned movie that was actually sung live during recording😱 no confusion as to the audio versus the lip singing. As a fan of the musical decades before the movie came out, the movie Far exceeded my expectations. Although I'm still not sure how I feel about the "extra" song. It is beautiful, but I'm still not sure how I feel about it being added. When I found out that Anne Hathaway was going to play Fantine, I was really nervous. I was almost convinced that the movie would not do the musical Justice. They proved me wrong and then some🤯

24:40 ofc she doesnt know. She asked if it was a date and he said no! Persoanally, id feel o credibility embarrassed for asking and assume he was never interested to begin with
