Poppy Moore (Emma Roberts) is bratty petulant teen causing problems with her father's new girlfriend. She's been bitter ever since her mother's death. Her father has had enough and ships her off to an English private boarding school for girls run by Mrs. Kingsley (Natasha Richardson). She immediately makes an enemy of the head girl Harriet (Georgia King). She doesn't get along with her roommates (Juno Temple, Linzey Cocker, Sophie Wu, Kimberley Nixon) at first either. Eventually they decide to work together to help Poppy get kicked out of school and back home.I'm sure the girls had fun making the movie. That doesn't automatically make the movie fun. Emma Roberts is cute. Even as a bratty blonde, she has an easy charm about her. This movie relies heavily on her to drive this movie. Other than Emma, there isn't much to recommend about this movie. There are some minor jokes like referring to Hogwarts just as Shirley Henderson walks in. But there are very few funny moments.

Wild child is a very wonderful teen movie with a awesome story line...This film is full of cheesy goodness. If you are looking for a young chick flick with a dash of romance, this one is a great choice.There were a lot unexpected twists in this movie that made it more than your regular romcomThe movie has a superb cast ,Emma roberts has done a great job I really had a great time watching it.Its a balance of Fun,Romance,Drama & Emotions .... Starting form a rich spoil brat the story then focus on the girls bonding & how they stand by each other along with there pranks & plots,Later how they have to face the consequences for there doings,realization and a lovely ending..

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!

This is perhaps Emma Roberts's answer to her aunt Julia's 'Pretty Woman', it wasn't that bad, I mean she did not come off as a wanna-be Julia Roberts but something was just off with the film. The first half seemed like the director was trying too hard to get the audience to believe that sweet little Emma Roberts could be so bratty. I enjoyed it, but it could have been better. There were way too many spoofs (Kiera Knightley, Kate Winslet, Sporty Spice, Ashley Tisdale, Brenda Song etc. etc.) for my liking and Alex Pettyfer was given too little to do in the film. It was Natasha Richardson's(R.I.P.) last film and she held her own but other than that, the film was just average.
