Over the years there have been many films about a transplanted American in an English school.
This time it is a teen aged spoiled girl sent to a posh English school.
Emma Roberts, niece of Julia & daughter of Eric Roberts is an absolute delight, she eventually will be as talented as her Aunt & Father.
We have the usual craziness & silliness that we find in all such comedies.Then of course all is redeemed usually by some sporting event, This time its Lacrosse.
Nick Moore directed first time screenplay writer Lucy Dahl's serviceable script.
Natasha Richardson in her final role is fine as the Headmistress & Alex Pettyfer is good as her teen-aged son. Aiden Quinn is perfect as Emma's father. The entire cast is young & refreshing.
Rating is a proper PG-13, This is primarily a teen type film
with some raunchy teen talk. It is all in good fun.
Ratings: *** (out of 4) 81 points(out of 100) IMDb 7 out of 10)
