Full Plot Details

Loosely based on The Reluctant Debutante (1958) starring Sandra Dee, this family-friendly comedy features popular Nickelodeon teen star Amanda Bynes in her first feature-starring performance after her debut in Big Fat Liar (2002). She plays teenager Daphne Reynolds, who lives in New York City with her musician mother, Libby Reynolds (Kelly Preston). After she turns seventeen, Daphne is undecided about her future, so she takes off by herself to London in search of her father. She immediately meets cute musician Ian Wallace (Oliver James) before sneaking in to her father's estate to surprise him. He turns out to be Lord Henry Dashwood (Colin Firth), a fabulously wealthy aristocrat who doesn't even know that she exists. He had met her mother in Morocco and the two were married in a tribal ceremony. Upon their return to England, she left him and went back to the U.S. without ever revealing that she was pregnant. The uptight Henry is already flustered by his campaign for election, advised by doting aide Alistair Payne (Jonathan Pryce). His no-nonsense fiancée, Glynnis Payne (Anna Chancellor), and her bratty daughter, Clarissa Payne (Christina Cole), are threatened by Daphne's presence, thinking that she will hurt Henry's political aspirations by causing a scandal. However, family matriarch, Jocelyn Dashwood (Dame Eileen Atkins), takes a liking to her and she soon finds herself trying to liven things up at several stuffy aristocratic parties. Meanwhile, the evil Glynnis and Clarissa conspire against her by trying to sabotage her appearance, leading up to the conclusion at Daphne's coming-out party.

Movie Reviews

Chico Enterprise-Record - 9/10 by Luanne BrownThe script...takes full advantage of the emotional connection that girls (no matter what their age) have (or would like to have) with their fathers.
Kansas City Star - 8/10 by Shawn BowersDespite her obnoxious Nickelodeon pedigree, Bynes proves that, given the right project, she isn't half bad.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Robin Clifford...the sweet nature of the "What a Girl Wants" should get a big draw from female teen population
Cinerina - 8/10 by Karina MontgomeryA vast improvement over the Princess Diaries, in large part thanks to Amanda Bynes and the grownups.
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenPredictable and formulaic but Amanda Bynes makes it fun.
Decent Films Guide - 8/10 by Steven D. GreydanusAs with The Princess Diaries, those in the market for what it has to offer will find it pleasantly agreeable, and those who aren't won't be in the theater in the first place.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Clint MorrisWhile this is far from an avant-garde, ingenious flick, it uses a dependable formula that’ll definitely deliver.
Movie Mom - 7/10 by Nell MinowIt may feel to other people like a adorableness overdose, but its intended audience will enjoy it very much.
Entertainment Today - 7/10 by Brent SimonTeen movies don't have to be pandering and idiotic, but you wouldn't know that by watching this Girl, an aimless piece of fluff that trades in clichés and stock jokes that have for a long time now been signifiers of humor rather than the real thing
EricDSnider.com - 7/10 by Eric D. SniderI really did enjoy it, overall, and here's why: the considerable charm of Colin Firth.
