Movie Reviews of She Gets What She Wants
Movie Review: A Pleasant Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit that at the beginning of this, I had my doubts but by the end I was laughing my head off.
The movie begins in Texas "where even the sky is bigger" and parts of it are kind of hilariously exaggerated if you have ever lived Texas. The main characters wear big sunglasses and shiny fake alligator skin suits in shades of neon pink and yellow with cowboy boots.
Neither of the two characters are sympathetic at the beginning of the movie, but it's fun to watch them get what's coming to them as the film progresses. The main character, Starla is a self absorbed high school cheerleader with the perfect boyfriend and a thick southern accent. Her dream is of someday crossing the state line and being an anchor for "Good Morning America". She volunteers to host an exchange student to win a beauty pageant after one of the other contestants steals her sure-fire answer to any pageant question by bringing up the lord.
In the beginning, she's totally self absorbed and irritating. But by the end she gets more than her share of what she deserves.
There are some great twists in the movie and a couple of parts that are a litle more subtle but still funny.
For instance, in one scene, the girls in Starla's clique ask a guy that work on the school paper what he's wearing.
He answers "A T-shirt" and they then point out in heavy southern accents that "it ain't got no label on it".
In another part, Starla wakes up during a sleepover and her two best friends are sleeping on the floor together in their underwear, spooning. She glances at them, shakes her head in puzzlement and looks at them again before she leaves the room. When they catch up with her downstairs they mention that they "slept well."
If you watch this movie at all, the part where Starla ends up in jail makes most of the earlier fluff worth it. I thought it was actually a pretty fun way to spend a couple of hours.
Summary of She Gets What She Wants
Genevieve is a French exchange student who is about to turn a small Texas high school upside down! Assigned to live with the popular Starla and her family, Genevieve is eager to fit in. But Starla quickly discovers that Genevieve is not the sweet, naïve foreigner she thought. She?s scheming and devious. Why can?t anyone else see that?Similar DVD Movies
