Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Brian-williams80 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.
Chandana S Wild child is a very wonderful teen movie with a awesome story line...This film is full of cheesy goodness. If you are looking for a young chick flick with a dash of romance, this one is a great choice.There were a lot unexpected twists in this movie that made it more than your regular romcomThe movie has a superb cast ,Emma roberts has done a great job I really had a great time watching it.Its a balance of Fun,Romance,Drama & Emotions .... Starting form a rich spoil brat the story then focus on the girls bonding & how they stand by each other along with there pranks & plots,Later how they have to face the consequences for there doings,realization and a lovely ending..
im_a_werewolf When i got this movie,i was thinking "Emma Roberts,eh?Probbably something 10 year old' would watch.."Then,i started watching.It was a funny movie,and mostly cliché,in which when poppy's best friend Ruby cheats with her boyfriend,Ronny.And of course when the whole school almost burns down.But ,by the time it was over,i was already laughing at how they used everything into one big ball of over exaggerated clichés,which in this case are hilarious!Starting off,poppy More is not wanting her dads girlfriend to move in ,so shes takes it to far by throwing all of her stuff in a lake by their house,which sets off her dad into making her start school in a boarding school in London,in which she finds friends,enemies,her decease mom,and love.
cloudyskye I had to watch this with my young nieces, and honestly, it made me sick. Cliché-ridden doesn't even begin to describe this drivel. I had never seen anything with Emma Roberts before and after this certainly never will. OK, as a rule it's a hard act for Americans to compete with English actors, remember colourless Andie McDowell in „Four weddings". E. R. may be talented, well, I doubt it. She shows just one facial expression, to distract from which fact she is flashing about her skinny white legs and freakishly pointy knees. She looks totally bland and forgettable, especially in that horribly obvious blond wig in the first half, in no way prettier than her English counterparts. And since when is being a Californian particularly exotic? But the story's pretty boy falls for her almost at once, oh yeah. She doesn't even have to play hard to get, au contraire. Actually not even a better actress, say a young Jennifer Aniston, could have saved this horrible story. There is the obligatory dressing up scene – Roberts's aunt had a legendary one in "Pretty Woman", but whereas erstwhile prostitute Julia/Vivien emerged as an elegant lady, Emma/Poppy goes from spoilt brat in super-high heels to pole dancer-prostitute look-and-act-alike. I shudder when I think of the age group this is aimed at. Awful, awful, awful!
