Fictional Lover of the Week: Nicholas Devereaux

It has been forever since I last time posted Fictional lover of the Week. Sorry. I never actually posted about Mr. Darcy because of the Christmas madness. I will postpone him to some special occasion, since he is one of my top favorite ones and post about Nicholas Devereaux, a fictional guy from the Princess Diaries 2 movie.

Nicholas Devereaux
-fictional character played by Chris Pine
-meets Mia Thermopolis, the princess of Genovia, for the first time at a ball dedicated to Mia
-Mia and Nicholas dance and there definitely is some chemistry between them until Mia learns that Nicholas is actually the guy who is against her in the battle of the throne of Genovia (actually it is Nicholas' uncle [if I remember right] but Nicholas would be the one taking the throne)
-Mia says that she cannot stand Nicholas but infact she is already in love with him
-Just like in fairytales, there is the happily ever after when the problems are solved between Mia, Nicholas and the rulers of Genovia

I love Nicholas as a character because he is funny, charming and extremely handsome. The is the prince charming of the movie even though it does not feel like that from the beginning. I love Chris Pine and I think that he is excellent in this movie. He is someway so "normal looking" but still extremely handsome.

Some of you might already know that I simply adore the Princess Diaries books by Meg Cabot. I've been asked many times that doesn't it make me mad that the story of Mia is done so differently in the movies. Actually, it does not. I love the books as they are and I think that the movies are great as movies. Since there are 10 books, it would be hard (and probably in the end a little boring for the ones who haven't read the books) to make 10 movies. So I think it is perfectly okay to alter the story a little and do 2 great, romantic movies. I must say I was little disappointed at first when I saw that Michael is not in the second movie since he is one of my favorite fictional guys too, but luckily Nicholas is almost as perfect as Michael. :)

I will post something about Chris Pine during the weekend!
