Title: Wild Child

Synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Poppy [Emma Roberts, Nancy drew] is a self-obsessed, incorrigible brat who lives a pampered life in her L.A. world. She’s handled credit cards with unlimited balances and surrounded by countless hangers on.
After an over-the-top prank pushes her father [Aidan Quinn] one step too far, Poppy is shifted off to an English boarding school. Finding herself is a foreign world of early curfews, stern matrons and many school rules. The American princess has finally met her match, a group of British girls who doesn’t tolerate her spoiled ways and thus always going against her whether she is doing good or bad things.
Under the watchful eye of the school’s headmistress [Natasha Richardson] and surrounded by a new circle of friends, Poppy begrudgingly realizes her bad-girl behavior will only her so far, then she tired to change herself. She even changed her mind of trying to get expelled by her evil means of going against school rules.

Reflection:
I did not expect this movie would be such a nice one. The once rebellious with no one in her eyes kind of teenage girl and also that looked down on other girls that are not as rich and well dressed as her. She could change so much is only because her group of room mates changed her unknowingly when they tried to help her get kicked out of the school by going against school rules with evil means. End up, Poppy found out that her so called friends in L.A are not true to her at all, and now appreciates her lovely friends she have there. When there was a prank letter made by an unknown person, she swallowed every comment her friends and her new boyfriend made, she is really brave enough to endure all those.

She even admitted fault about the fire hazard in school during midnight when everyone was asleep that was not created by her. True enough, she did put out the fire when she accidentally burnt a little part of the table cloth, her senior who hates her starts the fire again. Her friends were bothered about the letter received, they checked and Poppy had an alibi, they forgave her. Poppy’s senior also accidentally expose that she was the one who set the fire. Things are back to when they were in good terms. When she found out that her mum was in the same lacrosse school team and is also the team captain that she is now, she felt upset for being rebellious and set her mindset about letting her team win the championship.
At a different point of view, this movie can motivate other rebellious girls to change their way of doing things and treasure what others does for them, parents especially. Great movie.
