Watch Wild Child For Free

Wonderful Movie

best movie i've ever seen.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.

Emma Roberts who as you may have known is Julia Roberts niece and she starred in another film that I own on DVD and liked called Aquamarine and Valentines Day. Here she plays a spoilt rich brat named Poppy Moore(donning a blonde wig before she ditches it for her natural look)who is sent off to boarding school in England as her father(played by Irish actor Aidan Quinn) is fed up of his daughters persona he decides to send her packing. Annoyed with it all she tries her best to get herself expelled from boarding school. But when she meets a couple of girls there and falls for a hunky guy(played by Alex Pettfyer from Beastly) she realizes that its the best thing her father has ever did and also she discovers something at the boarding school that will change her life forever.Overall this was a good movie as it also stars the late Natasha Richardson(The Parent Trap,Maid In Manhattan) who plays the head mistress in the film. Its sad to say that this was her final movie before she tragically died in March 2009 in a skiing accident but her legacy will live on forever. Emma Roberts played her part perfect as the ditsy spoilt brat who thinks her life is on cloud nine and some bitchy chick set her up as she was fancying her boyfriend (who happens to be the head mistresses son).If you like teen comedies or high school movies about boys and all that stuff that teens love so much then check it out. Im not the target audience for this film at all as im a 22 soon to be 23 year old chick,but I never saw it before so I got the bargain as it came in a 3 DVD pack that I got on Sunday in my local supermarket.So yeah check it out and unleash your wild child self for this British teen comedy.

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.

Emma Roberts is Poppy Moore and she has a problem with getting out of hand. So, it's her last straw and her father Gerry (Aidan Quinn) to a boarding school in England called Abbey Mount which was started in 1797. Poppy is greeted by Mrs. Kingsley (Natasha Richardson), who is the Head Mistress tells Poppy that she will try to make her experience less difficult than it should be. Matron (Shirley Henderson) plays sort of a nanny type character who keeps the girls in line and takes away their cell phones on the first day. People at the school don't follow Poppy's lingo which makes it rather funny to watch. Being bullied by the head girl Harriet (Georgia King) is always fighting with Poppy because she does not like her.Her friends in her room which includes a girl called Drippy (Juno Temple) who you might remember from Year One, help her to try and get expelled because she doesn't fit in. When Poppy finally figures out its not such a bad place because she has some good friends, a guy named Freddie (Alex Pettyfer) who likes her, and that her mother went to the same school she does not want to leave anymore.This movie is mostly a chick flick, but I've had my fair share of watching movies like this when it's hard to believe. Roberts character is done so well by her and she is funny and quick witted. I remember last seeing her in Nancy Drew, even then I knew she was going to be in more movies to come and grow with her career in acting. I'm sorry to say, but this was Natasha Richardson's last movie as it is sad to see her go. Married to Liam Neeson, in March 2009, she died suddenly, after falling and receiving a head injury whilst skiing in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada. She will always be remembered and never forgotten. All in all, this movie was funny and you should get together with some girlfriends and check it out.
