If you really enjoy films about a typical young American teenager being sent away to learn how to more or less learn how to behave, then this film is for you. The film itself had some good moments. I've never known girls of that age to really get up to what they were doing in the whole film. I think I preferred Emma Roberts in We're the Millers. The head girl character didn't stand out for me at all. I guess you could say that it was very over acted and didn't seem realistic at all. Now if you would like to see a convincing head girl/boy then I suggest you look at Percy Weasley in Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. His version of that sort of character is much more realistic than the actress that played this character. Suitable for girls that love rebelling against their elders.

I saw Wild Child recently and I felt Georgia King as head girl Harriet Bentley stole the film. This was King's first feature film and I think she has quickly developed into a very talented actress. The film's treatment of Harriet made me feel sympathy for her; She was clearly insecure though highly ambitious, competitive and a bully yet the "Honor Court" scene with her imploding; ranting hate and jealously at Poppy resulting in her humiliation and expulsion was for me this otherwise mediocre films most powerful moment. The end scene of Harriet being turned on by her formerly loyal friends added to this feeling of unease; Was Harriet really such a vile monster or like Poppy a teenage girl with her own issues and problems? It can be argued that Harriet was an unpleasant person but was Poppy really so different? I don't think putting Harriet's face and contact number onto a phone sex line was remotely amusing yet Poppy is seen as "nice" as opposed to the "bad" Harriet. Wild Child for me would have been a much better, more uplifting film if Harriet had "earned" Poppy's respect through apology and redemption.

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.
