Mia Thermopolis is a teenage klutz who's openly mocked by the popular Lana Thomas.

With her friends Lilly and Michael Moscovitz in tow, she tries to navigate through the rest of her 16th year.

This Cinderella fantasy transforms a geek into a princess, and teaches a few life lessons along the way.

Terrific fun for girls and their families, too.
