Rachel Getting Married is her most unsweet role yet. One journalist at the Toronto Film Festival told Hathaway that watching the movie was like getting a two-hour colonoscopy, to which Hathaway responded, “With or without anesthesia?”

Hathaway agrees to go for a walk, and you can see how unguarded she can be. “Excuse me, officer,” she says to a cop, “do you know where a liquor shop is?” The officer, who looks about 19, shakes his head, either unfazed or unaware that the star of The Princess Diaries is hitting him up for booze.

The new Anne also thinks about love differently. “The romantic I-knew-it-at-first-sight thing? No, I’m not really open to that,” she says, though that’s how she once described meeting Follieri. “Love is letting someone else see your faults and letting them stick around.” It’s not your classic fairy-tale definition, but it feels right, for a girl who’s retired her tiara.
