Princess Protection Program is a Disney Channel original movie starring Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. When a tiny country is caught in a power struggle with its royal family and a military dictator, General Magnus Kane, who wants power for himself, the young Princess Rosalinda (Lovato) is taken into custody by the Princess Protection Program. She is whisked away to rural Louisiana where she must learn the ins and outs of behaving like a normal American teenager. In the process of adapting to her new life, Rosie gives her new friend and roommate, Carter (Gomez), a few lessons in how to act with royal aplomb. | |

Gratuitous Spanish: In addition to the odd choice of making Rosie's homeland Spanish-speaking, she reverts to Spanish at times when it makes absolutely no sense to do so (e.g., asking Carter where the bathroom is). | |

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: A non-nuptial example, the line is spoken by a priest during Rosalinda's crowning rehearsal, and he asks if someone object to her becoming the new queen. Of course, General Kane has objections. | |

Hypocritical Heartwarming: Though Carter openly dislikes Rosalinda at first and picks on her, she does not like it one bit when Chelsea and her mean girl posse humiliate Rosie by having her work at a yogurt shop "for losers", causing Carter to seek retaliation by shoving a frozen yogurt onto the hair of Chelsea's cameraboy for filming Rosie's ordeal. | |

Did You Think I Can't Feel?: It's not until Carter arrives at the dance in a beautiful dress that Donny finally notices her. She chews him out for it — "Before I put on this dress, you couldn't even remember my name" — and turns him down to go dancing with Ed and her friends. Chelsea gets one of these as well, from Brooke of all people, who has grown sick of Chelsea's being mean and bossy all the time. | |

Alpha Bitch | |
| Princess Protection Program / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: Chelsea, a very pretty and colossally mean girl who is so obsessively hungry for attention that she has to constantly bully Carter and Rosie whenever there's a hint that someone could like them , and she apparently can boss just about everyone around, not to mention literally kicking people. Later in the movie though, her enormous influence on the other students crumbles. Then again, with her attitude, one wonders how she was ever popular in the first place. | |

Turn the Other Cheek | |
| Princess Protection Program / int_25a19aa5 | comment |
Turn the Other Cheek: According to Rosie, this is one of the principles by which a princess is supposed to live, which she demonstrates when she doesn't lash out against Chelsea for humiliating her, instead just calmly telling her off. Carter, on the other hand, isn't having any of that, aptly pointing out that she isn't a princess. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen | |
| Princess Protection Program / int_28c1d543 | comment |
Defrosting Ice Queen: A non-romantic example. Carter starts the film being needlessly rude and standoffish to Rosie, from berating her for not fitting in to forcing her to do inventory by counting worms, and finally by being rude to her after she makes Carter and her dad dinner. Over the course of the film, however, Rosie teaches her that there is more to being a princess than how you look, and slowly gets Carter to come out of her shell, as well as befriend her. By the end of the movie, Carter is prepared to risk her life to save Rosie, and is even invited to her coronation. | |

Tomboy and Girly Girl: Carter, who works at the bait shop, mostly runs around in old jeans and a basecap, and whose manners need some polishing, and Rosie, who has excellent manners, even in her civil alias nearly always wears dresses, has never done physical work in her entire life, and gets a bit of a panic about having a haircut. | |

Skewed Priorities | |
| Princess Protection Program / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: Chelsea's (disturbing) fixation with winning Homecoming Queen leads her to threaten Rosie with blowing her cover if she does not step down from the competition. Granted, she could have asked for something so much worse, but endangering the life of a royal in hiding all for a plastic tiara is at best a bit stupid and at worst irresponsible. Just imagine if the press had gotten ahold of the story: Chelsea would have gone down in history as the sociopath who got Princess Rosalinda of Costa Luna murdered all because she wanted to win Homecoming Queen. Local news would have had a field day. | |

Sheltered Aristocrat: Rosie, as shows when she's confronted with everyday high school life and for the first time rides a school bus, eats in a cafeteria, and initially has the attitude that the school employees are "her staff". She can also be a tad obnoxious about this; she seems really confused about the idea of sharing a bedroom with Carter, rather than her having a claim on that room that is Carter's to begin with... not to mention she seems to expect Carter to wait on her. Once made aware of it, she actively works on the issue though, accompanying Carter to bowling and taking on a job. | |

No Dress Code: Though only with Chelsea at prom. The other girls are dressed just fine, but with her, it's really extreme: She wears a strapless pink mini-dress, so mini that the skirt doesn't reach even halfway to her knees, and the top part barely holds her bust. This is supposed to be a 16-year-old girl.note Even though actress Jamie Chung was 25 at the time. Even for a prom, there are certain lines a high school would draw. | |

She completely gives up her facade of a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing to the point that she confronts Rosie and starts becoming a freaked-out basket case while demanding she get the crown for herself (to the point that this continues even after she falls into the pool). | |

Meaningless Villain Victory | |
| Princess Protection Program / int_a7c91a10 | comment |
Meaningless Villain Victory: After the climax, a soaking wet and angry Chelsea still manages to take back "her" Homecoming Queen crown from Carter and Rosie, despite her obvious humiliation. Rosie tries to stop her but Carter tells her to let it go. It's not that much of a victory, as Chelsea has pretty much fallen from grace in the eyes of all of the school, and Carter really doesn't need a crown for her self-esteem to function. | |

Love Triangle | |
| Princess Protection Program / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: Carter, Donny, and Rosie. Despite Carter's interest in Donny, he shamelessly attempts to charm Rosie and openly flirts with her, and to make matters worse, asks Rosie to go to the dance with him while Carter is standing right next to her. Though surprised by this sudden offer, Rosie willingly turns him down for Carter's sake. Also, from the beginning of the film, Carter has to (unsuccessfully) compete against mean girl Chelsea for the affections of Donny, who doesn't even remember her name or even bother to stand up for her when Chelsea picks on her. By the end, she comes to realize Donny's not worth it and rejects him at the dance when he finally takes an interest in her because she's dressed up. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills: General Kane tosses his rapier straight at Rosalinda's crown, pinning it to the pillar behind her — note that the crown was already on Rosalinda's head, still held by the hands of the official who crowned her, and that Kane stood at a place and angle where nobody in the court room could even see him coming in. | |

Book on the Head: Parodied. Rosie wants to prove to Carter that being royalty isn't just showing off. Carter goes along with it and learns how to act like royalty, including walking and balancing a book on her head. When she states she just can't believe princesses have to do this, Rosie bursts into laughter and admits she actually never had to do this sort of thing; she was just pulling Carter's leg. | |

Jerkass: Several. Carter at first, as she is quite condescending to Rosie for her lack of everyday knowledge and her Innocently Insensitive attitude, not to mention her extreme prejudices against anything associated with princesses. She eventually grows kinder and becomes friends with Rosie. Chelsea, who humiliates Rosie and ruins her and Carter's prom dresses, treats her classmates and even friends like her personal slaves, tries to make the homecoming dance all about staging her big entrance, and eventually blackmails Rosie. Donny, who easily goes along with all of Chelsea's behavior and asks Rosie out in front of Carter while he knows perfectly well that Carter has had a crush on him for years. He also strings Carter along by taking fish bait for free from her family shop but then doesn't keep his end of the bargain they'd agreed on, to take Carter to school in his car. | |

Honorary Princess: Chelsea, Rosalinda and Carter become the three finalists for the Queen contest of the homecoming dance, and receive princesses' tiaras. Chelsea doesn't deserve hers much, and Rosie was already a princess by birth. So Rosie helps Carter to have the princess attitude, and at the dance, Carter goes so far as trying to sacrifice her freedom in exchange for Rosie's. The latter affirms that, with this heroic act, Carter became a real princess. | |
