Movie Reviews of What a Girl Wants (Full Screen Edition) (Snap Case)
Movie Review: You WILL Want it In YOUR Collection!
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally went to see this with my family expecting an entertaining but fluffy type movie that leaves you amused, yet empty. So was the case with the mediocre Hilary Duff outing "Lizzie McGuire Movie" not so here.
"What a Girl Wants" is an amazingly entertaining movie. It has people you will love, and people you will hate. It has excitement, a great soundtrack, and great performances. It also has romance, humor, sentimentality and true MAGIC.
The leads, an absolutely outstanding Colin Firth as Henry Dashwood, is the uptight brit longing to find something to wake him out of the political career that has been shoved upon him, and bring him back to his more joyous and carefree youth. By contrast there is the long lost daughter Daphne, perfectly cast Amanda Bynes who is the perfect one to do it. Daphne is this exhuberant, sweet and fresh innocent faced girl who longs for the father she has never known as she has lived with mom Libby, also wonderful Kelly Preston. Libby and Henry had a shortlived romance that was cut short but the reprehensible advisor that watched Henry's late dads political career. Libby left Henry and found herself pregnant, but raised the baby herself. Daphne, tired of never having that father/daughter dance, decides to run away to England and meet dear old dad. Problem is, he is engaged to the advisors daughter Glynnis, an insufferable prig, and is about to gain a most snooty step daughter to boot.
Daphne arrives in England and finds a singer as a first friend, Ian Wallace. Encouraged by her new friend, she infiltrates the guarded fence to the palace and for the first time, father and daughter meet.
To sum things up, the wonderful chemistry between the two leads is sheer magic. Colin Firth has never been so wonderfully sympathetic as Lord Dashwood. You have to love him as he is so convincingly flustered over his discovery, yet thrilled too. Amanda Bynes as Daphne is wonderful and you have to root for her to win as grandma tells her "They'll be rooting for you to fail". Does Daphne win or lose her role in the heart of long lost dad Henry? You MUST watch this film and find out for yourself. No matter what your age, this film is one that will entertain, and touch your heart with characters you really do care about. This alone makes "What a Girl Wants" a true winner in every way.
