"It can take a lifetime to find true love; she's got 30 days!"
Overview
Mia Thermopolis is now a college graduate and on her way to Genovia to take up her duties as princess. Accompanied by her friend Lilly, Mia continues her 'princess lessons', like riding horses side-saddle and archery. But her already complicated life is turned upside down once again when she learns that she is to take the crown as queen earlier than expected, all while she meets a mysteriously charming young man.

Of all the boring premises, a legal requirement is a really boring choice. Forcing a marriage is not only not relatable for America (Mia's country of origin), but also not exciting to watch Anne Hatheway reject guys and have to settle. And all the while they ignore the obvious solution.
There is a lot of fun with the idea of a American princess just having fun with a lot of resources, and touching bits with her using her power for good.
Sadly, again, the movie doesn't feel like it does anything special, despite all the "pizazz" they layer on.
Again, it's good, but it is weaker than the original, and unless you have the background of that movie, you're not missing anything by skipping this one.
