Movie Reviews of What a Girl Wants (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Typical
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall it is an entertaining movie for the casual viewers but it is, like many other Hollywood films, built on too many stereotypes. We start off with a teenage girl who's never met her father but is eager to meet him based on the stories her mother's told her. She is clumsy, loud, but down to earth and, of course, does not fit into the uptight British society. The filmakers absolutely HAVE to make her fall off of the stage in the fashion show and into the lake off of the boat. And of course there has to be an evil stepmom and stepsis who do everything to get rid of her. Too predictable, nothing new in this movie.
Summary of What a Girl Wants (Full Screen Edition)
Fresh-faced Nickelodeon starlet Amanda Bynes stars in What a Girl Wants as Daphne, a 17-year-old girl in New York City who's spent her life pining for her absent father, a British lord named Henry Dashwood (Colin Firth) whom her mother (Kelly Preston) met during wilder days in Morocco. Tired of waiting for him to come to her, she decides to head to London where Dashwood is launching his political career--which could be derailed by her fun-loving, free-spirited attitude. Will her father choose the daughter he's never known or a position in Parliament? The plot of What a Girl Wants is ridiculously contrived, but the movie rides on the chemistry between Bynes and Firth. When, under Daphne's influence, Dashwood tries to break out of his stuffy shell and rediscover his inner rebel, the movie really starts to have fun. --Bret FetzerComing-of-Age Comedy. Daphne (Amanda Bynes), a spirited young American girl, travels to London in search of her long-lost father (Colin Firth), an influential aristocratic politician. As Daphne attempts to prove that love can conquer all, her impulsive behavior creates an uproar in high society, where her unique style threatens to undermine the relationship she has waited her whole life to experience.
