	Author	Review
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"A formulaic pre-teen chick flick that ladles on girlie wish-fulfilment, but is charming enough to bring out the eight year-old girl in anyone (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The film is like a homage to the cliches and obligatory stereotypes of its genre (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"Aimed at femme grade schoolers, young teens and indulgent grandmothers, 'The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement' is too blandly insubstantial to expand its appeal beyond its target demographic"	NEU
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"[The first movie] was pretty terrible. The sequel, 'The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement' (...) is infinitely worse."	NEG
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"Tiresomely plot-driven and unnecessarily drawn out, 'Royal Engagement' is the prim and proper cousin to its comparatively anarchic predecessor (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"There's something unsettling about a character as bland, mushy and fiber-free as soggy corn flakes"	NEG
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"[A] dutiful and charmless sequel"	NEG
United States	Nathan Rabin AV Club	"For it to be anything but painfully arbitrary would count as an accomplishment, so the fact that it's superficially entertaining qualifies as a minor triumph."	NEU
