John N @RT63108825 Jan 12 everything i didn't like in the first movies got fixed in the second! great movie See more Petar B @PepiZoo Nov 22 It lacked any plot development. I think if 20 minutes of unnecessary scenes were cut the movie would have been much more interesting See more Spencer P. @s_plewe Nov 11 Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews return for another chapter of modern princess hijinks, that doesn't feel as sharp as its predecessor, but millennial girls will gush over its dream life fulfillment and Chris Pine as the romantic interest. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 11 Funny in 1 hour and 53 minutes. See more thiago s @Thiagostone May 29 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, e também o filme parece que foi feito para garotas que sonham em ter um par romântico na vida delas.
