Anne made her big-screen bow in the cuddly slice of fairytale fun, starring as a troubled teen who learns she is heir to the throne of a small European nation. Cue all manner of comic scrapes as awkward Anne grapples with the pomp and ceremony of life as a princess.
Harmless fun in the main, the film is the sort of unthreatening feelgood nonsense that director Garry Marshall could turn out in his sleep. Hathaway makes for a sparky lead presence however, and her chemistry with anti-establishment mate Heather Matarazzo is one of the film’s chief pleasures. Groundbreaking it isn’t, but as an enjoyable dose of teenage fluff, it hardly puts a foot wrong.

I thought the same, Poekie, Ella Enchanted is one of my favourites. Cheesy as hell, but in a good way :)

Rachel getting Married is a career and performance highlight, you got to give her credit for that. In interviews she is quick wittied and smarter than your usual production line starlet, pity it doesnt translate well on to the big screen.

I thought Love, Sex and Other Drugs was actually a decent effort by Hathaway (nothing to do with her being nude all the time, honest). The problem with her is that it appears she tries too hard sometimes and when she just relaxes a bit, she really can put in a good performance. Or maybe I'm over-analysing it. Ok, she's s**t. Although I've not seen Rachel's Getting Married.

I think she is generally a very decent actor, and puts in a good performance in most of her movies, but her choice of movies to be in is actually quite shocking.

I second that Heisenberg but would delete decent and good and replace with reasonable and average. Although I have only seen 1 of the 15 films and thought it was run of the mill.

really didnt think get smart was that bad, not exactly comedy of the year but still a decent enough film
