What a Girl Wants stars actress Amanda Bynes from Nickoloden series "All That" and WB series "What I like about you" with stars such as Colin Firth from "The Bridget Jones Diary series and Pride and Predjuice" and Kelly Travolta as her mom. It's a great movie for its comedic themes that Bynes plays so well in her usual roles as the average girl with a great personality and style that set her apart from those in "the crowd" scene. It's about a young teenager who goes off to find her father in search of a realationship with him in London, UK. Where she finds him engaged to a snobby woman with a wicked step sister in tow who will do anything to send her packing her bags back to the USA. Filled with a decent soundtrack of "happy living life" tunes, good british humor, and a very cute hunk playing Bynes boyfriend it's a great movie to watch on the weekend with your friends. If you are a fan of Bynes I also recommend "Sydney White" and "She's the Man."Read full review

Amanda Bynes grows up nicely in this coming of comedy. I bought this video for my daughter, six, and she has watched it numerous times -- often "requesting" my presence while she watches. I loathe watching The Amanda Show with her, or anyone else; the show is loathesome, but I did find What A Girl Wants to have a light touch and a joyful message about love and paternity. This movie is everything a Hillary Duff movie isn't -- thoughtful -- not sachrine -- light handed -- not delivered with sledge hammer morality and fun. I would not have purchased this movie on my own, but if a father has to watch a tween flick with his daughter, he could do much worse. Enjoy.
My 11 yr. old daughter asked for this for Christmas though it's not "new". She had seen it so many times on TV but really wanted it in her collection. I have also watched it and I cannot find anything wrong with it in terms of appropriate content. It is a great little movie for that tween age!
It was a cute “Cinderella “ theme movie! I wanted to see Kelly Preston and Colin Firth!
