Amazon.co.uk Review Familiar in feel but lifted by its execution, Wild Child finds Emma Roberts--she of Nancy Drew fame--in the lead role as Poppy. Poppy is, as the title of the film hints, not the most well behaved of young ladies, and this leads her father (played by Aidan Quinn) to promptly send her across the water to boarding school in England. Thus, the stage is set for lots of culture clash comedy, and a genial little movie aimed at teenage girls. The strengths of Wild Child lie firmly in its cast, who happily make the most of the generally slight material. Roberts, who has to make the transformation from selfish brat to more rounded and generally pleasant human being, is on fine form, while Georgia King offers good support too. There are notable turns too from Alex Pettyfer (remember him from Stormbreaker?), Daisy Donovan and Natasha Richardson. Wild Child’s plot inevitably injects a romance angle, and treads heavily on cliches as it attempts to wring out what laughs and entertainment it can from the material. But for its target audience, you suspect it pretty much hits the bullseye. It might not be a film with much edge to it, but there is a solid hour and a half’s entertainment here. --Jon Foster
A Must See Movie For Teens...January 2, 2009 L. Brice(puerto banus, spain) I bought this DVD after seeing adverts for it on the T.V. I love the movie and I feel the audience can really connect with the main character. She finds her mother within her. The role of the Georgia couldn't be more interesting. The one thing that will get Georgia kicked out of school is one of the main reasons Georgia wants to stay. It shows true friendship always prevails. A really good movie, a teen must watch!
lovely and sweetJanuary 2, 2009 S. White(Derbyshire) a bit obvious but brilliant, feel-good viewing for teenagers and adults alike. emma roberts and alex pettyfer have a great on screen relationship and the other girls act so british it's funny.
great but not AmazingDecember 31, 2008 OptommistSophie(Uk) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a bit like St.Trinians mixed with Angus thongs - It is all about A spoilt californian girl called Poppy Moore who gets sent to boreding school ( for being spoilt) at first she hates it but then she gets to know the other girls in her dorm and the headmisteres son Freddie ( who is the amazingly hot Alex pettyfer) and changes completely when she realises her mum went to the same school - Two reasons to watch this movie 1) Alex Pettyfer and 2) the hilariose pranks she pulls to try and get out

Wild Child [2008]
Really disappointed in this dvd.Daughter wanted for Christmas as she missed at cinema. Language is terrible and I found this so insulting so I can no longer allow my kids to watch this. Do not buy if you think this sort of language will offend you and your kids. I certainly was!!!
