High school senior Sam Montgomery lives at the beck and call of her self-obsessed step-mother Fiona and her sinfully wicked step-sisters, who treat her more like a servant than a member of the family. Sam finds her less-than-sparkling social life wonderfully complicated when she meets her prince charming online. But when her anonymous cyber soul mate turns out to be her high school's popular quarterback Austin Ames, Sam makes a mad dash back to reality, leaving her cell phone behind just before the clock strikes midnight.

He's cynical, lazy and literally a fat cat. Now, Garfield, America's favourite feline is about to become a major motion picture star in this live action/CGI film. Garfield's owner, Jon, takes in sweet but dim-witted pooch Odie, turning Garfield's perfect world upside down. Now, Garfield only wants one thing: Odie out of his home and life! But when the hapless pup disappears and is kidnapped by a nasty dog trainer, Garfield, maybe for the first time in his life, feels responsible. Pulling himself away from the TV, Garfield springs into action. Review: Garfield is an immensely popular comic strip character, seen in newspapers the world over. His appeal is that many of us have a Garfield in our own lives — a fat-arsed feline who considers that our sole purpose in life is to serve their every need. This transition to the big screen owes more in look at least to the plush toy of Garfield than the original line drawing or even the small screen animated spin-off. It looks like that suction-cupped accessory that you've seen adorn so many car windows — Garfield under glass. It's that familiarity that will find an audience, while that other cantankerous cat, the one in the hat, is still searching for his. And the inspired casting of Bill Murray as the voice of Garfield really makes this movie purr.   The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement Classification: G Director: Gary Marshall Cast: Hector Elizondo, Julie Andrews, Anne Hathaway, Heather Matarazzo Trailer: dial-up broadband Official site Where the smash hit "The Princess Diaries" ended, the fun begins as Mia is ready to assume her role as princess of Genovia. But no sooner has she moved into the Royal Palace with her beautiful, wise grandmother Queen Clarisse, than she learns her days as a princess are numbered - Mia's got to lose the tiara and immediately take the crown herself. As if getting ready to rule wasn't enough, the stakes for Mia have never been higher - with Genovian law stating that princesses must be married before being crowned, Mia's in for a parade of suitors who'd all like to be her king. Review: The Princess Diaries was made by Garry Marshall for his daughters and is precisely what Daddy wants you to see — a sweet, insipid, sexless fable for teenage girls. In this sequel, the princess plucked from American suburbia to live in a palace in a European principality must find a prince or give up her throne. One always sensed that the interesting part of the original story came after the final credits so this will have some appeal, if only to teenage girls dreaming of how someday their prince will come.
