PRINCESS DIARIES
Note: Do not let the "G" rating on this movie fool you - still use caution when showing this movie to small children for it has some minor issues. It shows a divorced mom (but at least their separation was mutual and there was no adultery), and a feminized hairdresser (but not a homosexual). And Disney has over-commercialized and over-glorified "being a princess".

Furious and incredulous, the reluctant royal agrees to take " princess lessons" and make the biggest decision of her life -- in three weeks. And so begins a comical transformation towards poise and princess-ness when she finds herself in the middle of a media storm, jealous schoolmates an a plot to take over her country.
