Best movie ever!

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

I like Emma Roberts and she does her best here, hence two stars and not one. However her character is hardly what I'd call 'wild' - arrogant, immature, snobbish perhaps but not wild, not by the standards of most teenagers I know. Kimberley Nixon is one of the best young actors around (just watch Fresh Meat) but even she looks a little perplexed by the dreadful script and amateurish directing.Being English I am often dismayed at Hollywood's stereotyping of 'quaint' English characters and locations. This film is particularly bad in that respect and might as well have been shot on Mars with little green aliens. All the more disgraceful then that it is written and directed by two English people.The characters are one-dimensional and there is an overall immaturity about the production that means it could only really appeal to a very immature audience. Perhaps kids will like it, but adults really ought to avoid this drivel. Life is too short.

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.

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.

WILD CHILD – TRASH IT ( C ) When I decided to watch Wild Child, I knew its going to be painful but I watched it for Alex Pettyfer & Emma Roberts (together). The movie starts off really dreadfully so I thought its going to be unbearable and Emma Roberts in her Blonde Wig and Snotty attitude was looking like a crap actress, she couldn't pull of the Bitchy attitude at all. Emma Roberts tried to look like uptown girl but dressed like she is coming from 70s even if you ask me in 70s they dressed much better, she was in her own mediocre lead... The moment she came back into her original brunette hairs, somehow the movie also got from Dreadful to Mediocre. Emma Roberts as blonde was crap though as brunette she did fine. Alex Pettyfer as usual in his charming attitude and looked great with Emma (sad or great actually they didn't work out in real life). Kimberley Nixon and Juno Temple did a fine job and both are quite talented. All the other girls were fine. Overall a complete teen movie with otter mediocrity, so Trash it unless like me you also want to see Alex & Emma together!
