The plot of this teen comedy is familiar stuff - spoilt, arrogant, rich bitch Californian teen is shipped by her father to a traditional English girls boarding school. Despite her resolving to get kicked out at the earliest opportunity, and irrespective of sundry plots both by her and against her, she ends up not only being turned into a decent human being, but also falling for the headmistress' hunky son.
There isn't an atom of unpredictability in this movie, but there are some winning performances, a lot of smiles, some nice lines in the script, and handful of solid laughs. And a couple of moving moments, the best of which is delivered by Aidan Quinn.
An undemanding but pleasing and rather sweet movie. You're never going to put it on your list of favourites, but you're going to enjoy it.
