6/10
Not a bad film for Natasha Richardson's final film to star in
4 February 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Emma Roberts (who as you may have known is Julia Roberts niece) stars in this British American Comedy directed by Nick Moore. A spoilt rich brat named Poppy Moore( Emma Roberts donning a blonde wig before she ditches it for her natural hair colour)is sent off to boarding school in England as her father(played by Irish actor Aidan Quinn) is fed up of his daughters persona. Annoyed with it all she tries her best to get herself expelled from boarding school. But when she meets a couple of girls there and falls for a hunky guy(played by Alex Pettfyer from Beastly) she realizes that its the best thing her father has ever did and also she discovers something at the boarding school that will change her life forever.

Overall this was a good movie as it also stars the late Natasha Richardson(The Parent Trap,Maid In Manhattan) who plays the head mistress in the film. Its sad to say that this was her final movie before she tragically died in March 2009 in a skiing accident but her legacy will live on forever. Emma Roberts played her part perfect as the ditsy spoilt brat who thinks her life is on cloud nine and some bitchy chick set her up as she was fancying her boyfriend (who happens to be the head mistresses son).

If you like teen comedies or high school movies about boys and all that stuff that teens love so much then check it out. Im not the target audience for this film at all as im a 22 soon to be 23 year old chick,but I never saw it before so I got the bargain as it came in a 3 DVD pack that I got on Sunday in my local supermarket.

So yeah check it out and unleash your wild child self for this British teen comedy.
