The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Wild Child is a movie (I think) is aimed at young teenage girls who love watching girlie movies, well they're probably the only ones who will find this entertaining. Children may not appreciate the large amount of bad language and rebellious natures used by some of the actors, while adults may find the film childish and a way to encourage bad behaviour. Personally, the first time I watched the film it took me a while to warm up to it, but I was entertained by it enough to remain sat down with my eyes on the screen at all times. After I watched it a couple of times, I put it on the DVD shelf and forgot about it. The plot is a bit dragging and over-the-top in some places with the characters being dramatic and a bit too cocky to find humerus, but the film is pretty good and I would watch it again.

This has got to be one of my favourite films and I would definitely recommend it to those who enjoy funny films full of different emotions and excitement, even a bit of romance. It is about an American troublemaker, Poppy Moore, who is sent to an all girls boarding school in England. At first, all she wants is to escape from the school. However, after a while she begins to fit in with the other girls and realises how much she wants to stay. It is an emotional story about respect, trust and friendship. Emma Roberts portrays the character of Poppy Moore very well, and all the actors play their characters perfectly. This draws you into the film making it more enjoyable and you get a feel for what the characters are really feeling. You also begin to love Poppy as she is a very interesting character and as the nicer side of her begins to show.Overall this is a great movie. It's definitely a film to watch.

I had to watch this with my young nieces, and honestly, it made me sick. Cliché-ridden doesn't even begin to describe this drivel. I had never seen anything with Emma Roberts before and after this certainly never will. OK, as a rule it's a hard act for Americans to compete with English actors, remember colourless Andie McDowell in „Four weddings". E. R. may be talented, well, I doubt it. She shows just one facial expression, to distract from which fact she is flashing about her skinny white legs and freakishly pointy knees. She looks totally bland and forgettable, especially in that horribly obvious blond wig in the first half, in no way prettier than her English counterparts. And since when is being a Californian particularly exotic? But the story's pretty boy falls for her almost at once, oh yeah. She doesn't even have to play hard to get, au contraire. Actually not even a better actress, say a young Jennifer Aniston, could have saved this horrible story. There is the obligatory dressing up scene – Roberts's aunt had a legendary one in "Pretty Woman", but whereas erstwhile prostitute Julia/Vivien emerged as an elegant lady, Emma/Poppy goes from spoilt brat in super-high heels to pole dancer-prostitute look-and-act-alike. I shudder when I think of the age group this is aimed at. Awful, awful, awful!

Over the years there have been many films about a transplanted American in an English school. This time it is a teen aged spoiled girl sent to a posh English school.Emma Roberts, niece of Julia & daughter of Eric Roberts is an absolute delight, she eventually will be as talented as her Aunt & Father.We have the usual craziness & silliness that we find in all such comedies.Then of course all is redeemed usually by some sporting event, This time its Lacrosse.Nick Moore directed first time screenplay writer Lucy Dahl's serviceable script.Natasha Richardson in her final role is fine as the Headmistress & Alex Pettyfer is good as her teen-aged son. Aiden Quinn is perfect as Emma's father. The entire cast is young & refreshing.Rating is a proper PG-13, This is primarily a teen type filmwith some raunchy teen talk. It is all in good fun.Ratings: *** (out of 4) 81 points(out of 100) IMDb 7 out of 10)
