Sixteen-year-old Poppy has everything her unlimited credit cards can buy, and a spoiled attitude to match. After a final thoughtless prank, her exasperated father ships her off to boarding school in England. There, Poppy meets her match in a stern headmistress and a class full of girls who will not tolerate her selfishness.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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!

Let me tell you something about the movie. I do not agree with this movie because Emma Roberts is American and not British. Emma Roberts should not be in a British boarding school, she should be in an American boarding school. Emma Roberts should be better off in American boarding schools in Washington, District of Columbia or New York City in Manhattan. This movie does not interest me for any reason because I strongly disagree. Some people find this movie interesting, but I never find this interesting to me. Since I saw this movie once, I might as well not bother watching this movie anymore. I think I might as well stick to Lost and Delirious with Mischa Barton, Jessica Pare and Piper Perabo.

Wild. A second attempt at a user review. My first got deleted by IMDb after someone posted a well thought out objection to it. If one has posted reviews here and found that some have been deleted by the appropriate admin, how does one react? That is what this second attempt is trying to consider. Most IMDb users will not have had their stuff appreciated in that sort of way so this is a minority interest sort of comment. If one bothers to write comments or reviews about the features that impress one then one's personal appreciation can grow. Of course there is a large range of individuals who browse such as IMDb user reviews so who knows what sort of wording one will need to use if one is to truly show one's growing understanding of a feature such as this? My solution was to use a spoiler label. I obviously need to improve on that. * My first attempt had gotten up to version 2.01. It tried to show my first reaction, amazed and impressed and needing to write a review that said so. It tried to include some of my understanding after a couple of weeks, this is one of those school stories where the star, Emma, and another are actually of the age that they are scripted at. Most others are student age, 18 to 22, but they fit in well, there is a natural look. I was also starting to tie in my reaction with links to Donnie Darko and Pretty Woman. It tried to include some of the insights into the story detail that I started to notice after a few months. As such, drafting the first version of the comment was a big help to me gaining a deeper personal understanding of the story. Wild. Poppy is scrambled and sunk, but still flying high. A 'popular girl' as in Heathers and Mean Girls. This feature explores that in its own sweet way and the true reality is not on the surface. Beneath the surface is a mess so putrid that there might be admin deletions if anyone dared to tried to seriously consider the relevance of this feature. I rate this as 10, which does not mean that I consider it to have a sweet smell. Poppy as a blooee elle. I have appropriate skills for getting sunk on this. Wild. Poppy being totally unable to face the real issues re her dad having a need for a new partner. There is a barrier and I have often come across such barriers, there is something about it that is a hidden part of our world? Wild. The relationships between the Malibu trio, Poppy and sister and best friend. It takes skill to find acceptable ways to comment? They are out of their depth and it shows. A big problem is that one is only likely to find out that there has been a successful complaint by one of your items being deleted. The reason why the deletion is not known. My only previous admin deletion was something that I tried to write another review for and that ended up by being deleted too. I currently assume that was some political factor. Example, if I write some dreamy appreciation about some dreamy actress such as 12 year old Abigail Breslin of Santa Clause 3 then I am likely to get low scores for the helpfulness of my comment. The Sarah Jane Adventures as an example, ditto Ballet Shoes, maybe HSM Concert. Wild. My paranoia can make me wonder if this deletion was political, too. If so the issue might be me writing, several times at IMDb and Amazon USA, that I consider DVD region codes to be a USA invention to allow warfare against consumers world wide, a visible component in the current world war III. My last dabble into that sort of thing was 2009, Amazon, concerning the disk sets for Emma Roberts' Unfabulous series. That must seem like paranoia to anyone but me? Not knowing the real reasons for the deletions does leave one in the dark.
