Scenes end abruptly, laughs are as rare as yetis, and the overarching question seems to be: Can we turn this into a franchise?

Sometimes charming, sometimes a tad too silly and all the time predictable, Princess Diaries 2 gives you what you'd expect and doesn't take many chances besides allowing for the possibility that a princess might be okay without a husband.
Sara Gebhardt, Washington Post
Rotten
Lumpish excuse for a contemporary fairy tale.
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
There's not enough story in it to fill a shoebox.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Rotten
Too blandly insubstantial to expand its appeal beyond its target demographic.
