-My comments
I don’t like love story movies and I don’t watch it much, but I like it so much!! It’s a romantic comedy. I don’t like some parts of comedy in this movie, but it makes me feel good after I watch it.
Her amnesia is so sad. The scene Lucy realizes she suffers from amnesia is sooooo sad! I can’t stop crying. I’m sure this scene makes you cry so easily. This movie is not too long, so you can enjoy it a lot. I bought DVD. :D
If you have boy/girlfriend, I recommend you to watch it with him/her. Unfortunately I can't! haha :P

-My comments
I don’t know about this movie at all. And I’m not a fan of Zac Efron. But I really like it! It’s funny that Mike (17 years old) talks with his friend (actually, they are his son and daughter!). Mike goes back to the past for getting big chance again. However, thanks to getting back to 17, he fixes his relationship with his family. I especially like the last scene. This movie is funny and heartwarming one.
If you are a big fan of Zac Efron, you’ll like this movie very much!! Even if you are not a fan of him like me, you’ll like this story.

-My comments
Because I love Anne Hathaway, I choose this movie. It’s a one of best Disney movie for me. Mia is so cheerful girl and makes others around her happy. And I like specially friendship between Mia and Lilly.
This movie is based the novel whose title of the first volume published in 2000. But it is different from the movie. So I want to try it.
I watched also “The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement”. Its ending isn’t same as I thought, but I like it so much!! If you like the first Princess Diaries, you will like it.



And Chris Pine is appearing in this movie. I didn’t know about him before I watched it, but “Chris Pine as Nicholas” is very cool and handsome!
