As a someone who grew up with no contact with the entire paternal side of my family, I can honestly say, if my mother told me she heard from my grandmother this would legitimately be my first response
@@CopShowGuy exactly. I literally forget I even have another side of my family because I've met my father ONCE and they live in another state. So I never questioned this reaction
I agree with you on all of these, Except for the lap-sitting one. If I sat on someone’s lap by accident in public the social anxiety it induced would make me never want to sit again, and never anywhere near the victim of my awkwardness. 😅🤣
I was reading a book standing on a school bus (12 year old pre makeover Mia type) and wasn't holding onto anything, there was a jolt and I fell face down into an older boy's lap, the whole bus laughed at me (apart from him who looked panicked) so I shouted "Shut up or I'll punch you!" Silence, then even more laughter 😳 I'm 33 now and this still haunts me lol
the most unrealistic part of this movie is that a girl with naturally curly hair straightened it ONCE and it stayed straight for the rest of the movie. did she just not wash her hair for the rest of the movie??? and also her scalp doesn’t produce oils??
You can get a perm for straight hair. My mom naturally has hair as curly as what is shown in this movie and she had it straightened to last months even after showers.
True story: i got a treatment to reduce frizz in my hair (the only one in my family with thick curly hair lol) and for a few days after the treatment my hair was straight as a pencil. Luckily the curls came back but i was genuinely terrified i’d never have curly hair again
@@Katharine888 it's not a reverse perm, it's a perm. It took me forever to figure out why non black people would get a perm and come back with curled hair but black people would come back with straight hair. It's just chemically altering your hair
Apparently the dad is alive in the book (I know reading is not what we do here) and the reason they need her to assume her royal duties is because he had to have his testicles removed or something and so she is the only heir he can produce to succeed him. Which is only relevant because this means that Disney had the option to have a Princess with 2 living parents but decided that they have a tradition and it demands at least 1 dead parent per movie.
I think Disney wanted to give Julie Andrews a bigger role in the movie and they reached out to the author to see if it was OK and once she heard who was playing the grandmother, the author immediately gave permission to kill dad.
Watching the movie, I felt like Mia's mom was basically a big child. I'm not surprised she wasnt ready to be a queen and why Mia had to figure things out on her own.
There are many things wrong with this movie. Why did everyone hate the lead character so much even after she made changes about herself? Even after her makeover, the other kids in school treated her like a total freak reject. Even after numerous attempts to better herself, the other members of the royals kept completely rejecting her, they blamed her for a stupid accident that was caused by a clumsy idiot who couldn't see her bending down to pick something up and who was pouting and stomping away from the table in a hissy fit anyway, and the queen character was unnessesarily unforgiving of her. Everyone treated her like a frickin pariah. And her mother wouldn't tell her about her royal side. And worst of all, nobody changed their awful treatment at the end! Don't stories about outcasts make it to where they're no longer outcasts by the end of the movie? But in this movie, the heroine was still the same outcast at the end!!
@@alvexok5523 I don't justify the bullies since they were clearly idiots and haters who didn't want her to succeed. But for Mia I think it was when she had a change in mindset is when things started to shift. People can feel when certain vibes come off of you. And for the queen, I think she was just so use to being stuck in the royal responsibility especially after her husband and son died, that she had to put her own personal needs aside, like grieving, for her country, and wasnt use to connecting. We see her throughout the movie progress and get better with it especially thanks to Joe.
It's like in Parent Trap. You step back and realize how horrible it was of the parents to keep their girls in the dark for the first 11 years of their lives. In here, Mia's father abandoned her, her grandma never reached out before, and her mom withheld the truth from her.
Thank you. I realise it was all for the bit but it was so satisfying to have someone call out the breaking of the glasses. As someone who relies on glasses because I can't see past the end of my nose without them, the prospect of having my glasses just broken like that is horrifying. You're losing a sense that many people rely on. It's like taking someone's hearing aid and breaking it but with glasses, it's always just played as a joke. And that's before factoring in the cost because glasses aren't cheap. Not if they're prescription lenses.
Glasses are also expensive as fuck. My glasses are worth as much as my smart phone because of my shit eye sight and desire not to have goggle-like lenses. Imagine someone snapping your smart phone. Dx
@@yanoriff8744 I 100% understand this as I have the same problem. The cost is the main reason I used to put off getting my eyes checked because I knew I'd need a new, stronger perscription and I just couldn't afford it. Glasses prices are insane for them being a device meant to help someone retain one of their primary senses.
My current glasses cost over $400 with pretty decent insurance. And I can't see more than 5 inches from my face without them, I literally wouldn't be able to do anything.
As awful as the adults are in the movie, they are 20 times worse in the books. The mom is so incapable of adulting that teenage Mia is the one in charge of making sure the bills get paid and the house is in a livable condition. The grandmother is a ruthless snob who intentionally outs Mia's identity to the press to force her to take her princess duties more seriously. Also, the books are 10% Mia complaining about her breast size by volume. Trust me, the movie is the improved version of the story.
Totally agreed. I was disgusted by the books when I read them (well, only the first one). Lily was also an awful friend. Literally the only likeable characters were the Hakim-Babas (I don't remember if that's the correct spelling).
Yeah I remember watching Dominic Noble’s comparison on the adaptation and it actually made me not want to read the books as this movie seemed to make changes for the better. A rarity indeed.
I remember enjoying the books much more. It felt more realistic than this fairy tale stuff, and Mia doesn't turn into an instant beauty queen with a make over.
The fact the Lilly saying “Aren’t you over that? It’s been like 2 months” isn’t that outlandish. I told I friend I was going to start going to therapy to deal with my dad’s death and she responded with “It’s been 2 years? Aren’t you over it by now?” It’s just not something you “get over” but some people don’t understand that.
a past friend of mine yelled at me over text for not coming to school for a week bc i was dealing with the fact that my uncle died the friday before. she said, and i quote, “seriously? that’s why you’re not coming to school? everyone dies eventually.” i eventually dropped her
I had a friend whose mother died of cancer when she was pretty young. The friend and her mom were incredibly close, even more so than most parents with their kids. They were always together. After the mother passed away, the friend's brother in law laughed in her face when she started crying about it and said, "Its been a year. grow the fuck up and get over it."
@@bblulz7554 My boss told a co-worker "we're all dying. it's not like you were that close with him so why do you care?" when a co-worker requested a day off to attend his father in laws funeral. She also wanted to fire another co-worker for requesting a week off to be with her grandfather who was passing away due to cancer. My boss told her, "don't worry, we'll replace you." When another co-worker called my boss out on it, she said "I don't care if I sound insensitive, I've had a hard life. You get used to people dying. She needs to get over it."
I would have given a hundred sins to the scene of the hair-dresser being apparently somehow good enough to work on a royal family, but stupid enough not to know that you NEVER brush raw curly hair while it's dry. It's a great way to rip it out of the head and break half of it. Also, you absolutely MUST use a boar bristle brush, or some equivalent of a Denman brush or Tangle Teaser brush. (The reason being is because they have thin, flexible bristles that move with the hair while you brush.)
I know Jeremy usually goes over the top with his sins just because, but I happen to agree with the ones given for the teacup tapping at 4:18. I mean, _who does that?_ Proper etiquette aside, which I don't even care much about anyway, why would you even smack your teaspoon on the cup? It makes an annoying noise, which also sounds like you're risking breaking your cup which is full of very hot water, and how much would it help on cleaning off the spoon, which you licked clean anyway which rendered the whole noisy affair moot? It makes about as much sense as yelling at your drink as a means of maybe your breath would help it cool off faster, only to drop an ice cube in it anyway. As an aside; I'm pretty sure the reason why the Queen only has the usual number of names is because she's royal by marriage, not blood. I don't remember what her background is, but it seems implied that it's nothing too fancy, I think. Also, even if you didn't know what '86 the flags' would mean ahead of time, it's fairly obvious from context. Also, I didn't like Lily. Sure, Mia screws up and whined a bit much at times (mind, teenager who gets bullied a lot, and then had this whole 'I'm Royalty?' mess dumped on her, so she gets a lot of slack for all that in my book). Lily is one of those people that is all "Conformity is bad! Be sure to follow my particular brand of non-conformity!" She's a self-righteous crusader type, basically. For a protagonist's best friend who is also ostensibly a good person, she's a bit of a dumpster fire, at least at times. That husband and wife duo were probably my favourite people in the whole movie TBH. You could argue that they were just trying to suck up to the royal family, and there might be an element of truth to that, but I remember getting the impression that they were genuinely nice people who wanted to be helpful for more pure reasons as well. I mean, there is nothing to say you can't be both be genuinely nice and see a positive to helping out someone connected.
11:01 "So the teachers allow intense bullying, but not hats. Noted." Actually, that's pretty accurate. Our family moved around a lot in my childhood, and I've never seen school personnel take bullying seriously. They always say they do, but when it actually happens, all they do is tell the target, "Just ignore them, honey, and they'll stop." They don't stop. The target merely realizes nothing is going to be done, and gives up on trying to report it. Meanwhile, they go ballistic over students wearing hats, sunglasses, or torn jeans.
This is why my mother dealt with bullies herself. On more than one occasion she went to the school and talked to kids. But basically the entire school picked on me so she couldn't really fix all of it.
Yeh, ignoring my bullies- no, the 9th grade boys who harassed and assaulted me through 8th grade, which was sometimes sexual harassment and assault- only spurred them on to escalate their harassment & assault to get a reaction from me. If anyone in authority tells anyone who is reading this, that "Boys will be boys," dismissing their responsibility to discipline bullies, acknowledge that boys will be boys, then ask the authority person, "What are the consequences they'll face for choosing to engage in such 'boys will be boys' behavior of harassment and assault?" I wish I had had the presence of mind to ask this of those in authority who dismissed me with such a statement.
I loved this movie as a kid. The make over scene always bothered me for all your points, but as a kid I never understood this: why does having straight hair suddenly mean you can smile? Edit: also, Lily was the WORST. I didn’t get why they were besties.
Oh I always hated Lily and as someone who always loved and wanted curly hair as a kid( even though my hair is naturally straight) I never understood why they didn't just style her curls
@@angelfox8 Right? A nice cut with some mousse and well-placed clips or bands and she could have had gorgeous curly hair!! I would have appreciated that way more, because it at least shows she doesnt have to be someone ELSE to be pretty.
Having had curly hair in the 80s, when the products and styling tools kinda sucked...I sort of felt like straight hair was pretty and to be desired. 🙁 A lot of movies seemed to add to this.
The kid sitting on Mia and then walking away. Super realistic. Idc how invisible the person is if I sat on someone accidentally I would not sit right next to them unless it was to talk to them. I would awkwardly escape as soon as possible
I agree with that but the look he gave her made it seem like he was simply disgusted by the idea that she would dare to sit where he planned to, so he just had to walk away from such a person.
Lmao! Jeremy singing all the songs, cuz of the stupid copyright infringement BS, is EVERYTHING! I loved every bit and hope he continues doin it goin forward!
fun fact about cursive: I actually exclusively learned it until university, because I am dyslexic and dysgraphia and in cursive b, q, d, and p look more visually different than printing (where it's literally the same shape turned) so (while it wasn't a magic cure all for dyslexia by any means) my teachers just had me write in cursive because it was easier for them to tell if I had put in the wrong letter or just had the right letter backwards, which made it easier to comment on my spelling.
The way you worded "destroying someone's gateway to a sense that had failed them" was poetry and I really enjoyed it. Lots of stuff you said in this episode actually did some healing. I think I am one if those kids you mentioned in the comment about kids who grew up this movie not being okay lol. And this was some good healing, thank you 💚
The makeover scenes in these movies always made me feel ugly with my big hair and eyebrows... :/ Plus when my sibs and I got glasses we always felt outcasted... even when nerd fashion was popular, being different sucks. It's not quirky to have big hair, and movies like this always made me feel like the only way I can be myself is if I tailor it to fit into size 2 pants and have straight hair... that being said, Lilly in the movie SUCKED. It's one thing to be yourself and not conform, its another to bully your friends when they decide they want to change or fit in.
My hair was exactly like Mia's when I was younger and I hated. I even broke brushes in my hair pretty often. My mom would literally yank out handfuls of it, trying to get it tame. She also spent a decent chunk of money trying to get hair treatments to straighten my hair but it never worked. I started straightening my own hair with a flat iron when I was 13 and would spend two hours every other day straightening it out. Which only made it more bushy due to frying the hell out of it. I absolutely hated my hair. Eventually I just chopped it all off because I was sick of it.
@@afterlight7632 It's understandable you were never taught how to take care of your type of hair. I have type 3/4 hair so probably a lot curlier than yours, but because I grew up around people with my hair type I always knew how to take care of it. If you ever consider growing it out you should always section your hair and work in the small sections on at a time. Don't dry brush, keep a spray bottle handy and maybe some leave in conditioner. When detangling remember to start at your ends and work your way up to roots. Use a wide tooth comb and don't rip through your hair. If you encounter a stubborn knot, the the comb out wet that area again and slowly detangle. Don't force it. Deep conditioning and protein treatments are a must too.
As a woman with thin wavy hair, I cannot understand what is the supposed problem with big curly hair. I mean, it's harder to manage of course, but it still mostly looks pretty, and it always has volume, which is a giant advantage in my eyes!
Love this movie, just hated how they made anyone (including myself) who wore glasses and had big hair feel completely ugly and outcasted. Like I need my glass to see plus my contacts would a lot because of my poor vision.
@@nthgth That's why I watched Star Wars instead of so called "chick flicks". I could think things like: "Well, yeah I'm fat, but Jabba the Hutt is bigger than me and he gets to have hot girls on chains. I could have a hot guy on a chain if I wanted to."
I've been wearing glasses continuously since I was 4 years old because I'm visually impaired & contacts do not work for me. I'm SO sick of "she takes off her glasses and suddenly she's pretty!" Do people not realize that there are actually designers who make eyeglass frames? I don't mean sunglasses, I mean frames for prescription glasses. Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Versace, Gucci, Bebe, Calvin Klein & Nine West ALL make glasses. We see people get makeovers with fancier clothes & accessories, especially designer pieces for product placement. The new clothes tend to complement their figure & the colors are better for their pallet. So why not just have them upgrades to designer brand glasses that are cute, in a complimentary color that suits their face shape? Glasses don't have to be ugly! 👓💞✨

I am well aware of the issues this movie has especially with the “transformation” scene (as someone with frizzy hair and glasses), but I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS MOVIE 😂👍
These movies growing up made me wish Julie Andrews/Clairice was my grandmother, not because she was a royal (for the most part), but because she was sweet, kind, and easy to talk to. Like Mia, I only had one living grandmother, but she’s was the complete opposite of Clairice. Being a royal, living in Cali, and having a cool classic car as a teen would’ve been added perks.
I can kind of relate. Not to speak ill of the dead, but I sometimes vent online that my paternal grandma played favorites, liking my cousin more and spending more time with her. Other stuff happened that I probably shouldn't talk about here because it would make her look awful. My maternal grandma lived across the country with my grandpa (divorced) and her bf didn't give two craps about me either. But everyone is gone now, so I just stew about it and remember what was. Edit: To say she didn't care about me was a little harsh. She did buy me stuff when coming to visit, but, eh, still not sure loving is the first word to come to mind regarding our relationship. We weren't super close is all.
Everyone has wanted to be Julie Andrews' grandchild since she was 40! Except her actual grandchildren, who probably hate her because she gives them rotten apples and lumps of coal for Christmas!!
even as a kid I wondered three things about Paolo: 1: he admitted that he broke the NDA and outed Mia to the press. didn't he get in trouble for that? he broke a legal contract 2: even after admitting he broke a legal contract, why did they call him back? 3: even after all this, why on earth did they call him back for Mia's wedding in the second movie!? even as a child this bothered me
@@AhavaMath Haha, oh dear. Admittedly, I'm not sure which would be the more embarrassing situation to be in. The guy who walked into me in the elevator definitely felt bad. Especially since I was doing maintenance work at a hotel and was holding a ladder at the time to. Couldn't really dodge him.
Same. Sadly, same. I was also almost left at an amusement park that we were on for a band trip in highschool. I went to use the restroom before we left and even though I told the rest of my colourgayrd and many other band kids were going, everyone somehow forgot about me. Until the nurse was double checking meds before the busses left and noticed I still had my inhaler.
I went into a store and saw someone I went to school with (I literally had a class with them senior year) and they were like "OMG, you're still alive? I thought you died in Junior year" I just sort of blinked and put my earbuds in, so yeah, happens in real life
You may think that having someone almost sit on you only happens in movies, but I can assure you that it can happen in real life as it has happened to me once
The Princess Diaries was such an iconic staple for the little girls of the early 2000s. I'm only just now getting into the book series for the first time as a 26 year old ( I have 10 hours of commute a week and I've been listening to them on my audiobook lineup) but it's still pretty good even for a grown up and I'm liking it 🙂 I'm honestly having a little bit of misty-eyed nostalgia just from the video. I miss being a little kid in the 2000s.
I love the Princess Gaslighting. There's nothing better than manipulating and neglecting the mental and psychological aspects of a pubescent 15 yr old girl with severe insecurities and a desire to be acknowledged by her abusers (mom, grandma, dad, friend, and random ppl who laugh at her every so often). Happy she got that kiss with the guy she didn't care for 😂😂😂
I’m sad that the beautification couldn’t include her natural curly hair. Imagine how much better it would be if instead, they taught her how to care for her curly hair. Like good shampoo and conditioner. How to wash it and dry it well so her curls are defined and healthy and not frizzy. I’m fine with the eyebrow trimming and even the makeup (makeup under the pretense that she’s still fine without it and it’s just to enhance her natural beauty and not cover it up), I’m fine with giving her the opportunity of contacts (but not forcing her to use them especially under the context of BREAKING HER FRIGGIN glasses), but cmon… Curly hair is GORGEOUS. I’ve always been jealous of curly hair.
Watching movies like this made me think I had ugly frizzy hair growing up and I would straighten it. I am only now (as a 23 year old) learning to appreciate my naturally curly hair and learning how to look after it. It also took me a long time to be confident wearing my glasses. All that time wasted feeling ugly...
I’m watching this with the understanding that I disagree with everything you might say, except anything you might say about Lily who is actually a terrible friend.
As a royal myself I can inform you that at balls the guests wait for the royal to choose their dance partner they dont offer themselves but let that person CHOOSE you
21 years later, and I'm STILL salty over them straightening Mia's hair during her big makeover. I've always thought that her frizzy hair was pretty, and it's as if they were implying that you have to have straight hair to be considered attractive.
that was indeed the implication. saddest part, I remember a girl in school that was so beautiful with hair like this and she had kinda big teeth also. other kids picked on her having rabbit teeth, but they were exceptionally big. with the nerd smile and all. but as she got older she straightened her hair like all the way through high school. made me so mad. I've seen so many girls change themselves that I made it a personal goal to tell the women I'm with thst they weren't allowed. didn't always go well lol. but it was nice when a lot of them appreciated that I saw them for themselves so it was worth it.
@@bunbacheso it came off that way to her. my words are always something like, "[this,] I don't like. It's not for me. I can't accept what I don't accept. You can do whatever you want and makes ou happy, it just won't be with me" the words are straightforward but I remember many arguments with her saying, "you telling me I can't do this or that" I never said that. If you're going to be with me, I don't accept that, so no. But you can do whatever you want. There's another man out there that likes that. Just not me. Usually how it went. So it's best to be upfront and not allow something from the beginning. meaning you lay out your wants and wishes and if they agree then so be it, if not, don't even bother. everyone can be happier that way
I always wondered why I related so heavily to this movie as a kid. Then I figured out I was a girl and it all made sense. Feeling invisible and lost, suddenly discovering who you truly are, going into denial before slowly trying to learn how to navigate that new reality, becoming the talk of the school once everyone else finds out who you are, finally starting to live how you always secretly wanted to but ending up getting manipulated and bullied by exploitative classmates, being forced to conform to literal patriarchal beauty standards and patriarchal standards of behavior by others, and eventually learning how to stand up to all of that forced conformity and be who you are in your own unique way? Every moment of this film and almost every moment of the second film serves as a perfect metaphor for transgender discovery. They even managed to sneak in references to this at places like 11:35! And if you think that's all just one big coincidence, guess again. One of the main characters in the book series was a transgender female neighbor of Mia's named Ronnie. Disney (shamefully) excluded her from the films and gave a lot of her role in the story to characters like Lily and Mr. Robitussin, but that doesn't negate the fact that the author *absolutely* had a firm grasp on trans experiences and incorporated those experiences into the overall story.
Patriarchal? The ones who gave Mia crap for her looks were ALL women. No guy in the movie called her ugly or told her to conform, the girls and women did. The stylist doesn't count, that was his literal job.
@@lainiwakura1776 It becomes readily apparent in the second film that Genovia is an exceptionally patriarchal society and that Queen Clarisse herself fell victim to and then reinforced many of those standards instead of challenging them like Mia did. The one exception was the marriage rule, but she gave into that herself when she was younger and only stood against that rule when Mia was compelled to have an arranged marriage. Mia and others learning to stand against patriarchal BS was the entire plot of the second film, really. It was mostly a subplot in this one.
9:33 One of the most important lessons one could ever learn in their life and I think at least 75-80% of the world refuses to get it through their heads.
_The Princess Diaries_ is one of my favorite Live-Action Disney films and this film was my introduction to Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, Héctor Elizondo, Mandy Moore and Sandra Oh (although I later became familiar with her more through _American Dragon: Jake Long_ as Sun Park and _Ramona & Beezus_ as Ramona's Teacher) especially the former.
@@niamhcostello4766 Well I was kid when I watched The Princess Diaries and the film was my familiarity with Julie Andrews, so I didn't started watching Mary Popins and Sound of Music until after watching Princess Diaries.
@@EChaconI can understand not watching the sound of music as a kid. It's already a bit too long for most kid's attentions spans in the first place, but then you get into the N@zi and WWII stuff and I understand why not every parents wants to have to explain such a horrible piece of history to a kid below double-digits
"when do you ever need to clarify your grandma is living?" Maybe when you only ever cared for one Grandma who has died and always had her on your mind growing up as your grandmother, even though you know you had a second one but didn't interact with, and you forgot she existed? Yknow, that situation which people do enter?
As someone with a dead grandpa I knew and a living one I have no contact with, I don't need the clarification on which one calls, since you know... only one can?
@@dinahmyte3749 well you might, which is my point... Because say you've only EVER KNOWN of your dead grand parent in real life, to be told your grand parent is sudden calling might sound strange...
10:39 - "...pocket-sized musical spit-waffles" My reaction to this point was such that I dead-ass laughed forever and missed the rest of what was said from that point on. Thanks for that, CinemaSins :-D
Halfway through this video and I am far more entertained than I thought I’d be! He actually has a lot of good observations and I am loving all the nicknames for Dame Julie!
Jeremy, I fu**ing love you. You brighten my day every time I watch one of these videos. Im sure there are a group of you that come up with the jokes and my hates off to you all. But Jeremy’s reliever is out of this world. I’ve watch every sin video numerous times. You guys always put a smile on my face. So thank you for shinning some light in such dark times! 🤓
As someone who was in the 5th grade and looked just like pre-make-over Mia when this movie was released (and having a father who also perpetuated post-make-over Mia as the definition of beauty), thank you for the sin you gave the "I will make you beautiful" line. I never knew how much I needed to hear that part of this movie being called out and that beauty is subjective, thus Mia is beautiful with her crazy hair and eyebrows, until I watched this video. I'm 31 now and fully understand that concept now! I shouldn't have need to hear that but I guess I did. Thank you for that. ^_^
Hey! really loved this video and im on the edge of my SEAT waiting for you (AND cinema wins) to watch No Way Home and Encanto. love love love your content dude youre turning me into a movie LOVER instead of just a movie enjoyer. keep up the good work
Sitting next to an American mother-and-daughter pair on the flight from the UK to the USA who were also watching this movie, and when it got to the bit about being a member of a royal family consisting of life-long duty, responsibility, and servitude instead of nothing but carefree tea parties, responsibility-free horse riding, and wondrous galas -- and shaking their heads in sadness and disbelief because Disney has LIED to them about being a princess for decades: + 142 retroactive sins for every Disney Princess film that isn't this one.
Anne Hathaway was my first celebrity crush as a young boy with this movie. I was lucky enough as a movie buff and a teenage boy to see Love and Other Drugs too *bites knuckle
@@priscillajimenez27 well the trailer misrepresents the film. Good thing when we had satellite we were given a free trial of premium movie channels so I didn't have to worry about any trailer misrepresenting the film. I saw Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway who I like and of course a give in for obvious reasons like I said teenage boy
I went to the description as ordered, clicked the link, and was rewarded with a retelling of a great tale by our dear narrator that left me in tears at its greatness.
I love this movie :) So much nostalgia. Fun to see you heckle it. A few things I disagree with. You complaining about Mia not standing up for herself and blaming herself for things that aren't her fault doesn't really work since she's 15. 15-year-olds do that sometimes. Heck, adults do that. Also her mom was worried about her not being at the ball, not because she wanted her specifically at the ball, but because she didn't know WHERE she was at the time. How would you feel if you had a teenage daughter unaccounted for in a large city like San Fransisco?
Yes, but adults made this movie and could have made the narrative for extremely impressionable children more about standing up for themselves instead of just mirroring this anxiety as part of the big lesson. Yes it happens in real life but this is supposed to be an opportunity to help kids break that standard. But it was unfortunately made by Disney.
Because cinema sins are full of hypocrisy and ignoring the real world. "Beauty is subjective". Yeah, but there are standards that or subjectively, vastly more popular. Some people are just ugly and if that hurts their feelings, too bad
There's a difference between appreciating people you find attractive and taking issue with a film stating what is beautiful. One is expressing an opinion and the other is criticizing a theme pushed over and over in kids' movies that you need a makeover to be beautiful if you have any manner of flaw.
Ok, I have to admit, I love both Princess Diaries movies, but the narration of this video has me in FRICKING stitches, especially the ending with the Longford Castle.... IN ENGLAND!!! I am cracking up!
As great as the actual video is, that cold read of the newspaper article was hilarious! I agree with Jeremy, that was fun and you should definitely do that more often, OGs will know that there are PLENTY of weird filler articles in movies to make that an entire series.
I remember watching this in theatres! Also, very much enjoyed your singing. :P I drive a school bus for a living, and if I see a bullied kid do something mean to their bully, and the bully whines at me about it, I ask them, "What did you THINK would happen?" xD
We should talk about how a stylist of his caliber should KNOW that naturally curly hair would not be able to get detangled using your shittiest of brushes, and would rather need a wash, a good amount of conditioner, a wide-toothed comb, and a bit of patience. Possibly followed by a chemical straightener, if we're still going with the antiquated notion that only straight hair is beautiful. And now, I want to end this by having you imagine Mia in all her curly glory, luscious locks falling onto her shoulders. Because she'd have rocked those curls.
I love this video! I also still like this movie while acknowledging its flaws. That’s something I appreciate about this channel. My question: Would you consider sinning Legally Blonde? It’s another woman-centric 20-aughts movie that says a lot about beauty, and it’s another movie I love, but it’s an interesting thing to deconstruct because of privilege. On one hand, it’s a movie about an underdog, and I love the feminist message. No one expects Elle, the main character, to be both conventionally beautiful and smart. On the other hand, Elle is privileged in a lot of ways; she is white, wealthy, and well-connected, which makes her similar to many other Harvard students, and she enjoys the privilege of conventional beauty. So the very things that make her an underdog also…kind of don’t. She has parents who can presumably drop a couple hundred thousand dollars on her law degree. Money is one thing, but, as mentioned, conventional beauty, and the related topic of race and white privilege, are their own things. Would audiences still be expected to root for an underdog if that person didn’t look like Elle? This is not to say that her struggles don’t matter-only that there’s a lens through which I didn’t see them as a child in the 20-aughts.
The movie literally addresses this. Elle can't help the fact that she's beautiful. And that's all anyone ever sees in her, not her brains. The one guy offers to give her an opportunity in exchange for sex because he thinks she's hot, not because she's qualified and it upsets her.
@@stephsaguudefan1753 the movie does sort of address her privilege, like when she helps the one dude get a date. But that doesn't mean that cinemasins wouldn't be able to offer an interesting perspective on it.
I love that you put the audio from Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts is singing in the tub over the video of Mia getting her hair washed. It was perfect! 😂
As someone who was 7 when this movie came out and is now an adult I just want to say that even as a second grader I was confused why anyone would think 2 months is enough time to get over the death of a parent.

Everything Wrong With Hotel Transylvania: Transformania
As a someone who grew up with no contact with the entire paternal side of my family, I can honestly say, if my mother told me she heard from my grandmother this would legitimately be my first response
Especially if they've never spoken to you before. I might react the same way if not a bit sarcastically.
@@CopShowGuy exactly. I literally forget I even have another side of my family because I've met my father ONCE and they live in another state. So I never questioned this reaction
Same.
If I see my grandmother I'm shutting the door on her face. The same bloodline doesn't make family out of strangers.
Im resisting the urge to track down my dads bio fam since he's adopted but thats a can of worms I know NOTHING about 😅
I agree with you on all of these, Except for the lap-sitting one. If I sat on someone’s lap by accident in public the social anxiety it induced would make me never want to sit again, and never anywhere near the victim of my awkwardness. 😅🤣
I was reading a book standing on a school bus (12 year old pre makeover Mia type) and wasn't holding onto anything, there was a jolt and I fell face down into an older boy's lap, the whole bus laughed at me (apart from him who looked panicked) so I shouted "Shut up or I'll punch you!" Silence, then even more laughter 😳 I'm 33 now and this still haunts me lol
@@Mulbert You have my deepest sympathy 😅
the most unrealistic part of this movie is that a girl with naturally curly hair straightened it ONCE and it stayed straight for the rest of the movie. did she just not wash her hair for the rest of the movie??? and also her scalp doesn’t produce oils??
✨Perms✨
There are methods to force hair straight. I think of it as a reverse perm. It bothers me they would want her to take on that level of damage.
You can get a perm for straight hair. My mom naturally has hair as curly as what is shown in this movie and she had it straightened to last months even after showers.
True story: i got a treatment to reduce frizz in my hair (the only one in my family with thick curly hair lol) and for a few days after the treatment my hair was straight as a pencil. Luckily the curls came back but i was genuinely terrified i’d never have curly hair again
@@Katharine888 it's not a reverse perm, it's a perm. It took me forever to figure out why non black people would get a perm and come back with curled hair but black people would come back with straight hair. It's just chemically altering your hair
Apparently the dad is alive in the book (I know reading is not what we do here) and the reason they need her to assume her royal duties is because he had to have his testicles removed or something and so she is the only heir he can produce to succeed him. Which is only relevant because this means that Disney had the option to have a Princess with 2 living parents but decided that they have a tradition and it demands at least 1 dead parent per movie.
Id imagine the general public back then may not have also gelled well with the whole testicle removal plot origin either tbh
I think Disney wanted to give Julie Andrews a bigger role in the movie and they reached out to the author to see if it was OK and once she heard who was playing the grandmother, the author immediately gave permission to kill dad.
@@dixiecripps7792 i mean, who wouldn't do that if julie andrews is an option
Disney demands their pound of flesh
@@dixiecripps7792 The grandmother is also a lot meaner in the book.
Watching the movie, I felt like Mia's mom was basically a big child. I'm not surprised she wasnt ready to be a queen and why Mia had to figure things out on her own.
There are many things wrong with this movie. Why did everyone hate the lead character so much even after she made changes about herself? Even after her makeover, the other kids in school treated her like a total freak reject. Even after numerous attempts to better herself, the other members of the royals kept completely rejecting her, they blamed her for a stupid accident that was caused by a clumsy idiot who couldn't see her bending down to pick something up and who was pouting and stomping away from the table in a hissy fit anyway, and the queen character was unnessesarily unforgiving of her. Everyone treated her like a frickin pariah. And her mother wouldn't tell her about her royal side. And worst of all, nobody changed their awful treatment at the end! Don't stories about outcasts make it to where they're no longer outcasts by the end of the movie? But in this movie, the heroine was still the same outcast at the end!!
@@alvexok5523 I don't justify the bullies since they were clearly idiots and haters who didn't want her to succeed. But for Mia I think it was when she had a change in mindset is when things started to shift. People can feel when certain vibes come off of you. And for the queen, I think she was just so use to being stuck in the royal responsibility especially after her husband and son died, that she had to put her own personal needs aside, like grieving, for her country, and wasnt use to connecting. We see her throughout the movie progress and get better with it especially thanks to Joe.
It's like in Parent Trap. You step back and realize how horrible it was of the parents to keep their girls in the dark for the first 11 years of their lives. In here, Mia's father abandoned her, her grandma never reached out before, and her mom withheld the truth from her.
That can be said for a lot of parents, especially my own 😔
nowadays she reminds me of Renee, Bella's mom in the Twilight series
Thank you. I realise it was all for the bit but it was so satisfying to have someone call out the breaking of the glasses. As someone who relies on glasses because I can't see past the end of my nose without them, the prospect of having my glasses just broken like that is horrifying. You're losing a sense that many people rely on. It's like taking someone's hearing aid and breaking it but with glasses, it's always just played as a joke. And that's before factoring in the cost because glasses aren't cheap. Not if they're prescription lenses.
I once got into a fist fight against 5 guys in a group, just because one of them took my glasses and refused to give them back
Glasses are also expensive as fuck. My glasses are worth as much as my smart phone because of my shit eye sight and desire not to have goggle-like lenses. Imagine someone snapping your smart phone. Dx
@@yanoriff8744 I 100% understand this as I have the same problem. The cost is the main reason I used to put off getting my eyes checked because I knew I'd need a new, stronger perscription and I just couldn't afford it. Glasses prices are insane for them being a device meant to help someone retain one of their primary senses.
My current glasses cost over $400 with pretty decent insurance. And I can't see more than 5 inches from my face without them, I literally wouldn't be able to do anything.
As awful as the adults are in the movie, they are 20 times worse in the books. The mom is so incapable of adulting that teenage Mia is the one in charge of making sure the bills get paid and the house is in a livable condition. The grandmother is a ruthless snob who intentionally outs Mia's identity to the press to force her to take her princess duties more seriously. Also, the books are 10% Mia complaining about her breast size by volume. Trust me, the movie is the improved version of the story.
Totally agreed. I was disgusted by the books when I read them (well, only the first one). Lily was also an awful friend. Literally the only likeable characters were the Hakim-Babas (I don't remember if that's the correct spelling).
Yeah I remember watching Dominic Noble’s comparison on the adaptation and it actually made me not want to read the books as this movie seemed to make changes for the better. A rarity indeed.
I remember enjoying the books much more. It felt more realistic than this fairy tale stuff, and Mia doesn't turn into an instant beauty queen with a make over.
Somehow that is very reassuring thank you and now I know to never read this awful book series.
Holy shit. I never read the book but I kind of want to just to tear it apart now...
The fact the Lilly saying “Aren’t you over that? It’s been like 2 months” isn’t that outlandish. I told I friend I was going to start going to therapy to deal with my dad’s death and she responded with “It’s been 2 years? Aren’t you over it by now?” It’s just not something you “get over” but some people don’t understand that.
I'm sorry you lost your dad. You're right. People say stuff like this all the time. They can't understand something they haven't experienced.
2 months practically just happened. Throughout the entire movie, her friend was an insensitive jerk
a past friend of mine yelled at me over text for not coming to school for a week bc i was dealing with the fact that my uncle died the friday before. she said, and i quote, “seriously? that’s why you’re not coming to school? everyone dies eventually.” i eventually dropped her
I had a friend whose mother died of cancer when she was pretty young. The friend and her mom were incredibly close, even more so than most parents with their kids. They were always together. After the mother passed away, the friend's brother in law laughed in her face when she started crying about it and said, "Its been a year. grow the fuck up and get over it."
@@bblulz7554 My boss told a co-worker "we're all dying. it's not like you were that close with him so why do you care?" when a co-worker requested a day off to attend his father in laws funeral. She also wanted to fire another co-worker for requesting a week off to be with her grandfather who was passing away due to cancer. My boss told her, "don't worry, we'll replace you." When another co-worker called my boss out on it, she said "I don't care if I sound insensitive, I've had a hard life. You get used to people dying. She needs to get over it."
I would have given a hundred sins to the scene of the hair-dresser being apparently somehow good enough to work on a royal family, but stupid enough not to know that you NEVER brush raw curly hair while it's dry. It's a great way to rip it out of the head and break half of it. Also, you absolutely MUST use a boar bristle brush, or some equivalent of a Denman brush or Tangle Teaser brush. (The reason being is because they have thin, flexible bristles that move with the hair while you brush.)
Hellooo fellow person. I see we're in the same community 🏳️🌈
😂
My newly formed theory is that his family has been the hairdressers for the royal family for generations, they seem pretty big on tradition.
Dude in movie: You will be beautiful
Cinemasins: SHE ALREADY IS! Beauty. Is. Subjective!"
BEST THING EVER!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSS
Exactly
The "GAAAHHHH!!" at the end made it *chef's kiss*
I want that on a T-Shirt
I know Jeremy usually goes over the top with his sins just because, but I happen to agree with the ones given for the teacup tapping at 4:18. I mean, _who does that?_ Proper etiquette aside, which I don't even care much about anyway, why would you even smack your teaspoon on the cup? It makes an annoying noise, which also sounds like you're risking breaking your cup which is full of very hot water, and how much would it help on cleaning off the spoon, which you licked clean anyway which rendered the whole noisy affair moot? It makes about as much sense as yelling at your drink as a means of maybe your breath would help it cool off faster, only to drop an ice cube in it anyway.
As an aside; I'm pretty sure the reason why the Queen only has the usual number of names is because she's royal by marriage, not blood. I don't remember what her background is, but it seems implied that it's nothing too fancy, I think. Also, even if you didn't know what '86 the flags' would mean ahead of time, it's fairly obvious from context.
Also, I didn't like Lily. Sure, Mia screws up and whined a bit much at times (mind, teenager who gets bullied a lot, and then had this whole 'I'm Royalty?' mess dumped on her, so she gets a lot of slack for all that in my book). Lily is one of those people that is all "Conformity is bad! Be sure to follow my particular brand of non-conformity!" She's a self-righteous crusader type, basically. For a protagonist's best friend who is also ostensibly a good person, she's a bit of a dumpster fire, at least at times.
That husband and wife duo were probably my favourite people in the whole movie TBH. You could argue that they were just trying to suck up to the royal family, and there might be an element of truth to that, but I remember getting the impression that they were genuinely nice people who wanted to be helpful for more pure reasons as well. I mean, there is nothing to say you can't be both be genuinely nice and see a positive to helping out someone connected.
Savage but true. It's not hard to know to treat China delicately
You would be excellent at cinema sins
@@beatricefox937 Thanks XD I do enjoy nitpicking (mostly for fun).
11:01 "So the teachers allow intense bullying, but not hats. Noted." Actually, that's pretty accurate. Our family moved around a lot in my childhood, and I've never seen school personnel take bullying seriously. They always say they do, but when it actually happens, all they do is tell the target, "Just ignore them, honey, and they'll stop." They don't stop. The target merely realizes nothing is going to be done, and gives up on trying to report it. Meanwhile, they go ballistic over students wearing hats, sunglasses, or torn jeans.
This is why my mother dealt with bullies herself. On more than one occasion she went to the school and talked to kids. But basically the entire school picked on me so she couldn't really fix all of it.
Yeh, ignoring my bullies- no, the 9th grade boys who harassed and assaulted me through 8th grade, which was sometimes sexual harassment and assault- only spurred them on to escalate their harassment & assault to get a reaction from me.
If anyone in authority tells anyone who is reading this, that "Boys will be boys," dismissing their responsibility to discipline bullies, acknowledge that boys will be boys, then ask the authority person, "What are the consequences they'll face for choosing to engage in such 'boys will be boys' behavior of harassment and assault?" I wish I had had the presence of mind to ask this of those in authority who dismissed me with such a statement.
I loved this movie as a kid. The make over scene always bothered me for all your points, but as a kid I never understood this: why does having straight hair suddenly mean you can smile?
Edit: also, Lily was the WORST. I didn’t get why they were besties.
Agreed, Lily is a terrible friend. Damn, that seems to be a recurring theme for poor Anne Hathaway in movies, huh?
Oh I always hated Lily and as someone who always loved and wanted curly hair as a kid( even though my hair is naturally straight) I never understood why they didn't just style her curls
@@angelfox8 Right? A nice cut with some mousse and well-placed clips or bands and she could have had gorgeous curly hair!!
I would have appreciated that way more, because it at least shows she doesnt have to be someone ELSE to be pretty.
Having had curly hair in the 80s, when the products and styling tools kinda sucked...I sort of felt like straight hair was pretty and to be desired. 🙁 A lot of movies seemed to add to this.
Unfortunately having non-curly hair was and sometimes still is THE STANDARD
The kid sitting on Mia and then walking away. Super realistic. Idc how invisible the person is if I sat on someone accidentally I would not sit right next to them unless it was to talk to them. I would awkwardly escape as soon as possible
I agree with that but the look he gave her made it seem like he was simply disgusted by the idea that she would dare to sit where he planned to, so he just had to walk away from such a person.
Lmao! Jeremy singing all the songs, cuz of the stupid copyright infringement BS, is EVERYTHING! I loved every bit and hope he continues doin it goin forward!
Agreed, it was great!
"Are those now adult children okay?!" No. We are not.
And we can't afford to go to therapy anyway.
@@jbvader721 THIS!!! And I'm a therapist!!! 🥴🥴
fun fact about cursive: I actually exclusively learned it until university, because I am dyslexic and dysgraphia and in cursive b, q, d, and p look more visually different than printing (where it's literally the same shape turned) so (while it wasn't a magic cure all for dyslexia by any means) my teachers just had me write in cursive because it was easier for them to tell if I had put in the wrong letter or just had the right letter backwards, which made it easier to comment on my spelling.
The way you worded "destroying someone's gateway to a sense that had failed them" was poetry and I really enjoyed it. Lots of stuff you said in this episode actually did some healing. I think I am one if those kids you mentioned in the comment about kids who grew up this movie not being okay lol. And this was some good healing, thank you 💚
The makeover scenes in these movies always made me feel ugly with my big hair and eyebrows... :/ Plus when my sibs and I got glasses we always felt outcasted... even when nerd fashion was popular, being different sucks. It's not quirky to have big hair, and movies like this always made me feel like the only way I can be myself is if I tailor it to fit into size 2 pants and have straight hair...
that being said, Lilly in the movie SUCKED. It's one thing to be yourself and not conform, its another to bully your friends when they decide they want to change or fit in.
Well hey, at least big hair and eyebrows are IN now! :)
My hair was exactly like Mia's when I was younger and I hated. I even broke brushes in my hair pretty often. My mom would literally yank out handfuls of it, trying to get it tame. She also spent a decent chunk of money trying to get hair treatments to straighten my hair but it never worked. I started straightening my own hair with a flat iron when I was 13 and would spend two hours every other day straightening it out. Which only made it more bushy due to frying the hell out of it. I absolutely hated my hair. Eventually I just chopped it all off because I was sick of it.
@@afterlight7632 It's understandable you were never taught how to take care of your type of hair. I have type 3/4 hair so probably a lot curlier than yours, but because I grew up around people with my hair type I always knew how to take care of it. If you ever consider growing it out you should always section your hair and work in the small sections on at a time. Don't dry brush, keep a spray bottle handy and maybe some leave in conditioner. When detangling remember to start at your ends and work your way up to roots. Use a wide tooth comb and don't rip through your hair. If you encounter a stubborn knot, the the comb out wet that area again and slowly detangle. Don't force it. Deep conditioning and protein treatments are a must too.
As a woman with thin wavy hair, I cannot understand what is the supposed problem with big curly hair. I mean, it's harder to manage of course, but it still mostly looks pretty, and it always has volume, which is a giant advantage in my eyes!
I got glasses when I was 3, currently feeling a ton of pain because the ones I have now are too small and squeezing my nose.
Love this movie, just hated how they made anyone (including myself) who wore glasses and had big hair feel completely ugly and outcasted. Like I need my glass to see plus my contacts would a lot because of my poor vision.
I'm not sure you should love this movie.
I always felt the same way about "Ugly" Betty too. She was a gorgeous woman who just happened to wear glasses, braces and out-there clothes.
This comment section makes me feel like I dodged a bullet by not letting movies tell me if I'm attractive or not
@@nthgth That's why I watched Star Wars instead of so called "chick flicks". I could think things like: "Well, yeah I'm fat, but Jabba the Hutt is bigger than me and he gets to have hot girls on chains. I could have a hot guy on a chain if I wanted to."
I've been wearing glasses continuously since I was 4 years old because I'm visually impaired & contacts do not work for me. I'm SO sick of "she takes off her glasses and suddenly she's pretty!" Do people not realize that there are actually designers who make eyeglass frames? I don't mean sunglasses, I mean frames for prescription glasses. Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Versace, Gucci, Bebe, Calvin Klein & Nine West ALL make glasses. We see people get makeovers with fancier clothes & accessories, especially designer pieces for product placement. The new clothes tend to complement their figure & the colors are better for their pallet. So why not just have them upgrades to designer brand glasses that are cute, in a complimentary color that suits their face shape? Glasses don't have to be ugly! 👓💞✨
For the record, the whole "pear" thing did play a role in the need for a Genovian Pear Juggler. In case you don't get there.

Jeremy reading that newspaper article was the best thing ever.
Me too, definitely a huge bonus!
Jeremy definitely lost himself in his own singing. You know it, we know it.
These movies growing up made me wish Julie Andrews/Clairice was my grandmother, not because she was a royal (for the most part), but because she was sweet, kind, and easy to talk to. Like Mia, I only had one living grandmother, but she’s was the complete opposite of Clairice. Being a royal, living in Cali, and having a cool classic car as a teen would’ve been added perks.
I can kind of relate. Not to speak ill of the dead, but I sometimes vent online that my paternal grandma played favorites, liking my cousin more and spending more time with her. Other stuff happened that I probably shouldn't talk about here because it would make her look awful. My maternal grandma lived across the country with my grandpa (divorced) and her bf didn't give two craps about me either. But everyone is gone now, so I just stew about it and remember what was. Edit: To say she didn't care about me was a little harsh. She did buy me stuff when coming to visit, but, eh, still not sure loving is the first word to come to mind regarding our relationship. We weren't super close is all.
Everyone has wanted to be Julie Andrews' grandchild since she was 40! Except her actual grandchildren, who probably hate her because she gives them rotten apples and lumps of coal for Christmas!!
We had the same grandmother? Cuz?
Loved this! Can’t wait to see the one for Princess Diaries 2!
The random Stan Lee cameo should warrant at least 100 Sins. Why was here there? To foreshadow Disney's acquisition of Marvel?

even as a kid I wondered three things about Paolo:
1: he admitted that he broke the NDA and outed Mia to the press. didn't he get in trouble for that? he broke a legal contract
2: even after admitting he broke a legal contract, why did they call him back?
3: even after all this, why on earth did they call him back for Mia's wedding in the second movie!?
even as a child this bothered me
As someone who has been sat on, walked into in an elevator and generally not seen, I would like to disprove the "only happens in movies" sin 🤣
I'm guilty of sitting on someone by accident. Was very embarrassing. Especially since I couldn't just leave after the fact.
@@AhavaMath Haha, oh dear. Admittedly, I'm not sure which would be the more embarrassing situation to be in. The guy who walked into me in the elevator definitely felt bad. Especially since I was doing maintenance work at a hotel and was holding a ladder at the time to. Couldn't really dodge him.
Same. Sadly, same. I was also almost left at an amusement park that we were on for a band trip in highschool. I went to use the restroom before we left and even though I told the rest of my colourgayrd and many other band kids were going, everyone somehow forgot about me. Until the nurse was double checking meds before the busses left and noticed I still had my inhaler.
I went into a store and saw someone I went to school with (I literally had a class with them senior year) and they were like "OMG, you're still alive? I thought you died in Junior year" I just sort of blinked and put my earbuds in, so yeah, happens in real life
You may think that having someone almost sit on you only happens in movies, but I can assure you that it can happen in real life as it has happened to me once
Same here. To be fair, it was in a theater when it happened to me
My dogs always sit on me without a care. Can't say a person has almost sat on me though.
The Princess Diaries was such an iconic staple for the little girls of the early 2000s. I'm only just now getting into the book series for the first time as a 26 year old ( I have 10 hours of commute a week and I've been listening to them on my audiobook lineup) but it's still pretty good even for a grown up and I'm liking it 🙂 I'm honestly having a little bit of misty-eyed nostalgia just from the video. I miss being a little kid in the 2000s.
LITTLE GIRLS? This movie was awesome for everyone in the 2000s I was a teen boy and liked it

Everything Wrong With Hotel Transylvania: Transformania
31 year old man here and this movie was my shit. VHS was worn down after years hahah
Thank you very much for bringing the audio outtakes back. The one where she's talking to a tree is hilarious!
Anne Hathaway looks like she's spending most of her pre-princess time being a discount early career Julia Roberts.
“What about the soy nuts?” Hysterically funny.
I love the Princess Gaslighting. There's nothing better than manipulating and neglecting the mental and psychological aspects of a pubescent 15 yr old girl with severe insecurities and a desire to be acknowledged by her abusers (mom, grandma, dad, friend, and random ppl who laugh at her every so often). Happy she got that kiss with the guy she didn't care for 😂😂😂
I’m sad that the beautification couldn’t include her natural curly hair. Imagine how much better it would be if instead, they taught her how to care for her curly hair. Like good shampoo and conditioner. How to wash it and dry it well so her curls are defined and healthy and not frizzy.
I’m fine with the eyebrow trimming and even the makeup (makeup under the pretense that she’s still fine without it and it’s just to enhance her natural beauty and not cover it up), I’m fine with giving her the opportunity of contacts (but not forcing her to use them especially under the context of BREAKING HER FRIGGIN glasses), but cmon…
Curly hair is GORGEOUS. I’ve always been jealous of curly hair.
Watching movies like this made me think I had ugly frizzy hair growing up and I would straighten it. I am only now (as a 23 year old) learning to appreciate my naturally curly hair and learning how to look after it.
It also took me a long time to be confident wearing my glasses.
All that time wasted feeling ugly...
As someone with curly hair and glasses, thank you so much for this
My curly hair is a pain in the ass and my glasses attract dust like a magnet, so it's much more trouble than its worth...
Early 2000’s really didn’t give af about curly hair which explains the logic
The Pretty Woman/Prince outtake was glorious!
I’m watching this with the understanding that I disagree with everything you might say, except anything you might say about Lily who is actually a terrible friend.
Doesn’t help that the actress has a legit punchable face
Remember when people thought makeup could solve anything?
Some still do
"When does a vending machine give you money?" Umm when you need change?
I've seen this movie so many times. I am so hyped to watch this
As a royal myself I can inform you that at balls the guests wait for the royal to choose their dance partner they dont offer themselves but let that person CHOOSE you
"Gait". She's not a door in the middle of a fence.
omg Adding in Miss Congeniality, Ghostbusters, LoTR, Lethal Weapon, and Die Hard was just icing on the cake. Some of my favorite movies right there!
Update on the kids who watched this movie growing up: we’re not okay. Not even alittle bit. Your channel makes it better though
Also note that the kids who watched this movie growing up can't afford to go to therapy. So, we're f***Ed.
9:40 Deliberately breaking someone's glasses is worth 200 sins!
21 years later, and I'm STILL salty over them straightening Mia's hair during her big makeover. I've always thought that her frizzy hair was pretty, and it's as if they were implying that you have to have straight hair to be considered attractive.
Thats because they were implying that
I see you in every movie channel. Hi 👋🏼
that was indeed the implication. saddest part, I remember a girl in school that was so beautiful with hair like this and she had kinda big teeth also. other kids picked on her having rabbit teeth, but they were exceptionally big. with the nerd smile and all. but as she got older she straightened her hair like all the way through high school. made me so mad.
I've seen so many girls change themselves that I made it a personal goal to tell the women I'm with thst they weren't allowed. didn't always go well lol. but it was nice when a lot of them appreciated that I saw them for themselves so it was worth it.
@@agonleed3841 telling a significant other that they’re not “allowed” to change their appearance doesn’t sound like much of a solution.
@@bunbacheso it came off that way to her. my words are always something like, "[this,] I don't like. It's not for me. I can't accept what I don't accept. You can do whatever you want and makes ou happy, it just won't be with me"
the words are straightforward but I remember many arguments with her saying, "you telling me I can't do this or that"
I never said that. If you're going to be with me, I don't accept that, so no. But you can do whatever you want. There's another man out there that likes that. Just not me.
Usually how it went.
So it's best to be upfront and not allow something from the beginning. meaning you lay out your wants and wishes and if they agree then so be it, if not, don't even bother. everyone can be happier that way
I always wondered why I related so heavily to this movie as a kid. Then I figured out I was a girl and it all made sense. Feeling invisible and lost, suddenly discovering who you truly are, going into denial before slowly trying to learn how to navigate that new reality, becoming the talk of the school once everyone else finds out who you are, finally starting to live how you always secretly wanted to but ending up getting manipulated and bullied by exploitative classmates, being forced to conform to literal patriarchal beauty standards and patriarchal standards of behavior by others, and eventually learning how to stand up to all of that forced conformity and be who you are in your own unique way? Every moment of this film and almost every moment of the second film serves as a perfect metaphor for transgender discovery. They even managed to sneak in references to this at places like 11:35!
And if you think that's all just one big coincidence, guess again. One of the main characters in the book series was a transgender female neighbor of Mia's named Ronnie. Disney (shamefully) excluded her from the films and gave a lot of her role in the story to characters like Lily and Mr. Robitussin, but that doesn't negate the fact that the author *absolutely* had a firm grasp on trans experiences and incorporated those experiences into the overall story.
I'm really glad you found something to relate to:)
Fascinating.... I wonder if that's part of why I liked this as a kid, even though now I see many of the flaws in it.
Patriarchal? The ones who gave Mia crap for her looks were ALL women. No guy in the movie called her ugly or told her to conform, the girls and women did. The stylist doesn't count, that was his literal job.
@@lainiwakura1776 It becomes readily apparent in the second film that Genovia is an exceptionally patriarchal society and that Queen Clarisse herself fell victim to and then reinforced many of those standards instead of challenging them like Mia did. The one exception was the marriage rule, but she gave into that herself when she was younger and only stood against that rule when Mia was compelled to have an arranged marriage.
Mia and others learning to stand against patriarchal BS was the entire plot of the second film, really. It was mostly a subplot in this one.
9:33 One of the most important lessons one could ever learn in their life and I think at least 75-80% of the world refuses to get it through their heads.
And I love how he delivers it.
You singing every song was the best part of this video 😂
_The Princess Diaries_ is one of my favorite Live-Action Disney films and this film was my introduction to Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, Héctor Elizondo, Mandy Moore and Sandra Oh (although I later became familiar with her more through _American Dragon: Jake Long_ as Sun Park and _Ramona & Beezus_ as Ramona's Teacher) especially the former.
Mine too, though the sequel was mediocre, the original movie was always my choice for a sleepover movie!
You never saw Mary Poppins or Sound of Music?😲
@@niamhcostello4766 you said my comment first..
@@niamhcostello4766 Well I was kid when I watched The Princess Diaries and the film was my familiarity with Julie Andrews, so I didn't started watching Mary Popins and Sound of Music until after watching Princess Diaries.
@@EChaconI can understand not watching the sound of music as a kid. It's already a bit too long for most kid's attentions spans in the first place, but then you get into the N@zi and WWII stuff and I understand why not every parents wants to have to explain such a horrible piece of history to a kid below double-digits
I'm a 27 year old man and I love these movies. I wish there was a third movie.
They're discussing doing a third movie. I hope it happens
"when do you ever need to clarify your grandma is living?"
Maybe when you only ever cared for one Grandma who has died and always had her on your mind growing up as your grandmother, even though you know you had a second one but didn't interact with, and you forgot she existed?
Yknow, that situation which people do enter?
As someone with a dead grandpa I knew and a living one I have no contact with, I don't need the clarification on which one calls, since you know... only one can?
@@dinahmyte3749 well you might, which is my point... Because say you've only EVER KNOWN of your dead grand parent in real life, to be told your grand parent is sudden calling might sound strange...
I remember thinking the old lady with the hilariously expired license was hilarious
"She. Already. Is. Beautiful. Beauty. Is. Subjective. GAAHHH" is one of the many reasons I like this channel
10:39 - "...pocket-sized musical spit-waffles"
My reaction to this point was such that I dead-ass laughed forever and missed the rest of what was said from that point on. Thanks for that, CinemaSins :-D
Halfway through this video and I am far more entertained than I thought I’d be! He actually has a lot of good observations and I am loving all the nicknames for Dame Julie!
I thought it would be ruthlessly torn apart, but I was mistaken!
Jeremy, I fu**ing love you. You brighten my day every time I watch one of these videos. Im sure there are a group of you that come up with the jokes and my hates off to you all. But Jeremy’s reliever is out of this world. I’ve watch every sin video numerous times. You guys always put a smile on my face. So thank you for shinning some light in such dark times! 🤓
As someone who was in the 5th grade and looked just like pre-make-over Mia when this movie was released (and having a father who also perpetuated post-make-over Mia as the definition of beauty), thank you for the sin you gave the "I will make you beautiful" line. I never knew how much I needed to hear that part of this movie being called out and that beauty is subjective, thus Mia is beautiful with her crazy hair and eyebrows, until I watched this video. I'm 31 now and fully understand that concept now! I shouldn't have need to hear that but I guess I did. Thank you for that. ^_^
"Be brave or be forgotten" Jokes on you, movie, that's my life goal!
Hey! really loved this video and im on the edge of my SEAT waiting for you (AND cinema wins) to watch No Way Home and Encanto. love love love your content dude youre turning me into a movie LOVER instead of just a movie enjoyer. keep up the good work
6:30 to answer your question, yes. We are all in therapy.
Sitting next to an American mother-and-daughter pair on the flight from the UK to the USA who were also watching this movie, and when it got to the bit about being a member of a royal family consisting of life-long duty, responsibility, and servitude instead of nothing but carefree tea parties, responsibility-free horse riding, and wondrous galas -- and shaking their heads in sadness and disbelief because Disney has LIED to them about being a princess for decades: + 142 retroactive sins for every Disney Princess film that isn't this one.
There should be an extra 100 sins for the music video that plays during the credits 😂😭
Little girls watch stuff like and are like...
"WHY I'M NOT A PRINCESS ALRADY? I HAVE MY LIFE!"
If you added Lily’s bullying and insults in that limo it would count for 50 more sins
Anne Hathaway was my first celebrity crush as a young boy with this movie. I was lucky enough as a movie buff and a teenage boy to see Love and Other Drugs too *bites knuckle
Ew never watched that movie. Trailer turned me off
@@priscillajimenez27 well the trailer misrepresents the film. Good thing when we had satellite we were given a free trial of premium movie channels so I didn't have to worry about any trailer misrepresenting the film. I saw Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway who I like and of course a give in for obvious reasons like I said teenage boy
@@Nickr3000 the obvious reasons are what made me not wanna watch it
So you're saying it was the trailer and the fact that you hate Anne Hathaway?
@@Nickr3000 Is "Love and Other Drugs" where she gets naked? I never saw it, but I remember her making a joke about it when she hosted the Oscars.
I went to the description as ordered, clicked the link, and was rewarded with a retelling of a great tale by our dear narrator that left me in tears at its greatness.
And now I genuinely want Jeremy to sing all the songs in every movie ever.
This video is surprisingly wholesome for a CinemaSins video.
Today's lesson (that I already knew) that one can learn:
✨Beauty is subjective✨
So much of the "makeover" stuff is stupid, but the most puzzling/annoyng one is that she can't be beautiful with curly hair.
Can confirm, it IS Longford castle in Wiltshire I live in Longford estate and the owners weren't happy.
I love this movie :) So much nostalgia. Fun to see you heckle it. A few things I disagree with. You complaining about Mia not standing up for herself and blaming herself for things that aren't her fault doesn't really work since she's 15. 15-year-olds do that sometimes. Heck, adults do that. Also her mom was worried about her not being at the ball, not because she wanted her specifically at the ball, but because she didn't know WHERE she was at the time. How would you feel if you had a teenage daughter unaccounted for in a large city like San Fransisco?
Hi sis :)
Yes, but adults made this movie and could have made the narrative for extremely impressionable children more about standing up for themselves instead of just mirroring this anxiety as part of the big lesson. Yes it happens in real life but this is supposed to be an opportunity to help kids break that standard. But it was unfortunately made by Disney.
Jeremy: "BEAUTY IS SUBJECTIVE!"
Also Jeremy: Gushes over how good looking Brad Pitt, etc is, people who are nearly universally viewed as beautiful
Because cinema sins are full of hypocrisy and ignoring the real world.
"Beauty is subjective". Yeah, but there are standards that or subjectively, vastly more popular. Some people are just ugly and if that hurts their feelings, too bad
There's a difference between appreciating people you find attractive and taking issue with a film stating what is beautiful. One is expressing an opinion and the other is criticizing a theme pushed over and over in kids' movies that you need a makeover to be beautiful if you have any manner of flaw.
This is one of so many movies I liked growing up that aged so poorly it bonked to the other side of the empowerment spectrum.
Yup
Ok, I have to admit, I love both Princess Diaries movies, but the narration of this video has me in FRICKING stitches, especially the ending with the Longford Castle.... IN ENGLAND!!! I am cracking up!
As great as the actual video is, that cold read of the newspaper article was hilarious! I agree with Jeremy, that was fun and you should definitely do that more often, OGs will know that there are PLENTY of weird filler articles in movies to make that an entire series.
When the guy broke Mia's glasses I felt that because DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THOES THINGS COST LIKE COME ON.
Dame Julie is glorious.
9:09 Any vending machine when I put in $2 to get a snack that only costs $1.50.
Me before watching this video: "Gosh is there anyone who sings worse than me?" Cinemasins : "Challenge accepted!"
I remember watching this in theatres! Also, very much enjoyed your singing. :P
I drive a school bus for a living, and if I see a bullied kid do something mean to their bully, and the bully whines at me about it, I ask them, "What did you THINK would happen?" xD
18:10-18:20, Jeremy actually has a decent voice. Not very many men can pull off B*Witched, and be on pitch. Here’s my golf clap.
Jeremy singing the entire soundtrack of this movie is the best thing about this entire video.
"discount rapunzel retreat"
DUDE MANDY MOORE IS LITERALLY AN ACTRESS IN THIS FILM HELLO
"Clarisse knows it all" -I love that reference!
You guys are the best
We should talk about how a stylist of his caliber should KNOW that naturally curly hair would not be able to get detangled using your shittiest of brushes, and would rather need a wash, a good amount of conditioner, a wide-toothed comb, and a bit of patience. Possibly followed by a chemical straightener, if we're still going with the antiquated notion that only straight hair is beautiful.
And now, I want to end this by having you imagine Mia in all her curly glory, luscious locks falling onto her shoulders. Because she'd have rocked those curls.
"You can't be beautiful with curly hair" -> the message of this film.
17:03 The Excorcist!
I love this video! I also still like this movie while acknowledging its flaws. That’s something I appreciate about this channel.
My question: Would you consider sinning Legally Blonde? It’s another woman-centric 20-aughts movie that says a lot about beauty, and it’s another movie I love, but it’s an interesting thing to deconstruct because of privilege. On one hand, it’s a movie about an underdog, and I love the feminist message. No one expects Elle, the main character, to be both conventionally beautiful and smart. On the other hand, Elle is privileged in a lot of ways; she is white, wealthy, and well-connected, which makes her similar to many other Harvard students, and she enjoys the privilege of conventional beauty. So the very things that make her an underdog also…kind of don’t. She has parents who can presumably drop a couple hundred thousand dollars on her law degree. Money is one thing, but, as mentioned, conventional beauty, and the related topic of race and white privilege, are their own things. Would audiences still be expected to root for an underdog if that person didn’t look like Elle? This is not to say that her struggles don’t matter-only that there’s a lens through which I didn’t see them as a child in the 20-aughts.
The movie literally addresses this. Elle can't help the fact that she's beautiful. And that's all anyone ever sees in her, not her brains. The one guy offers to give her an opportunity in exchange for sex because he thinks she's hot, not because she's qualified and it upsets her.
@@stephsaguudefan1753 the movie does sort of address her privilege, like when she helps the one dude get a date. But that doesn't mean that cinemasins wouldn't be able to offer an interesting perspective on it.
I love that you put the audio from Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts is singing in the tub over the video of Mia getting her hair washed. It was perfect! 😂
I’m sorry, I think we’re gonna need a full rendition of Miracles Happen sung by Jeremy
I don't think so.
This is the funniest sin count down ever!!!!!
When you said "grampa Poppins"I died 😆🤣😂. Thanks you for making me last until crying.
As someone who was 7 when this movie came out and is now an adult I just want to say that even as a second grader I was confused why anyone would think 2 months is enough time to get over the death of a parent.
How dare you this movie is an absolute TREASURE
I will always be confused on why Mia didn't have the same political immunity as her grandma.
6:45 Keyboard Skittles: 100 sins!
9:30 thank you I was like she is beautiful just because she wears glasses and has curly hair does not make her less beautiful
"There's no normal childhood!"
