What A Girl Wants (DVD 2004)

I see thi film on the sky movie channels and wanted to buy it. I'm a huge fan of Colin Firth so any film with him in, I look out for. This was a good comedy film and really enjoyed watching it.

this is a film that i have bin after for ages lookt allover town for it and couldnt get it then i saw it on ebay at a cheap price thes peaple are a credit to ebay the dilivery was fast and the feedback was great

What a most enjoyable family film. I think Colin Firth is one of Britains brilliant actors. The theme of the film was hilarious. I also loved the music, i have been trying to find out if there is a soundtrack of the songs. Its a story with a fairy tale ending, a very happy ending.

For anyone traveling to the UK, watch this film for a laugh and to give you some ideas.
For those traveling home a great buy, as it's an "Ive been there" movie.
Thumbs up.

Daphne Reynolds (Amanda Bynes) has what every girl wants--or so it seems. This young American girl has a unique style all her own, an unconventional but loving relationship with her Bohemian mother Libby (Kelly Preston) and a future full of possibilities. But despite her remarkable promise, Daphne feels incomplete.

She dreams of one day meeting the father she’s never known, the man Libby loved deeply seventeen years ago, but ultimately left behind because his aristocratic family found her unsuitable. Determined to live out her fantasy of forging a storybook relationship with her long-absent dad, Daphne, on an impulse, gets a flight to London, where she quickly discovers that her father is the high-profile politician Lord Henry Dashwood (Colin Firth). Henry opens his life and his social calendar to the daughter he never knew existed, but Daphne’s appearance in his high society creates an uproar that threatens to undermine his political career. Not wanting to jeopardize his campaign for an upcoming election, Daphne stifles her naturally vibrant personality, refashions herself as a proper debutante and plunges into a whirlwind of British social events. But even with Henry’s support, she’s not getting any help from his conniving fiancée or her jealous daughter, who are bent on ruining Daphne at every turn.

With the aid of Ian (Oliver James), a charming and society-savvy local musician, Daphne attempts to prove that love, along with proper etiquette, can conquer all. But Daphne soon realizes she doesn’t like the person she’s becoming in the process. As much as she wants to be her father’s daughter, she realizes it's not worth it if she can’t be herself. She goes back home but Henry realizes how much he loves Daphne and goes to find her.The film ends with Daphne's mother officially getting married to Daphne's father. Daphne also becomes Ian's girlfriend and she goes to college at Oxford so she can be near him. They move into Henry's house.

its a great young teens movies was buy for my daughter (11).
love the ending when everyone is happy and even the butler is sitting with the happy family.

I saw this film once at the cinema and LOVED IT. It has such a hot guy in it (Oiver James) and is a proper feel good movie. I especially love Colin Firth's character and he plays it so well. Mayber not something to see with your boyfriend or male family members...they will just slate it down unless they like girlie movies. But if you really love a good chick flick, bit of a laugh and a cry, then this is your kind of film.

This movie was not at all what I expected and I was very pleasantly surprised ! I bought it mainly because Colin Firth is in it and I love him !!
This is a new take on an old theme, lost love, lost parent, father doesn't know about the daughter, daughter finds father who is engaged to a woman with her own daughter who is a spoilt, rotten brat. However, this one is fun, cute and I personally loved it.

A charming film. A simple story, well-crafted with strong performances from Colin Firth and Amanda Bynes. It's nothing deep but it doesn't pretend to be. It's definitely one for the ladies what with not one but two attractive guys. Of course the picture it presents of this country and the British is completely stereotypical but it doesn't spoil the film. It's so nice to see a film which doesn't rely on bad language or crude comedy to attract the teenage market. For me it ticks all the boxes.
