What A Girl Wants Reviews

Can you believe that Amanda Bynes made this movie already 10 years ago?!? Back in those days, she seemed to be pretty down-to-Earth, but unfortunately, nowadays, she is more or less competing with Lindsay Lohan to become the most messed child-star ever. Anyway, after ‘She’s the man’, this flick must have been her biggest hit and it wasn’t really good, I’m afraid. Eventually, the most surprising thing was to see Colin Firth, a future Academy Award and a major actor nowadays, in this movie, portraying her estranged father. Back then, Colin Firth just had his breakthrough a couple of years before with ‘Bridget Jones’s diary’ and he wasn’t yet a household name, I guess. Of course, I have to admit it, Amanda Bynes was not bad at all in this, the whole thing was tailor-made for her and she was quite charming but the whole thing was just way to fluffy for my taste. I mean, basically, it is a rather typical and predictable teen-comedy and I guess it is pretty nice for the target audience but a male grown-up like me, it was rather tedious to watch. To conclude, I didn’t like it much, I thought it was quite boring but, I guess, if you are a 12 year old girl, there is a good chance that you will actually like it.

A good movie that touches my heart specially on the part of a father-daughter dance...

Amanda Bynes act really good... :) awesome as always...

"You know, for six centuries, this family has been sacrificing bits of itself for England. Eyes, arms, legs--they're scattered all over the battlefields of Europe. Don't follow in that glorious tradition. Do you know what you're going to sacrifice? Your heart, Henry."

"I've changed...there is something that is more important."
