Wild Child (DVD)

***Wild Child (2008) *** I sat down this holiday and watched this film (DVD) with my daughter and to be honest at first didn't think that much of it. However, after it being on the telly over and over for the best part of the day, it grew on me and I began to appreciate its merits. Perhaps I was a little judgemental to start with, but as my daughter laughed and danced to the movie, I began to relent a little and get caught up in the fun myself. ***What's it all about? *** The basic plot is about a teenage American rich girl (Poppy), who is driving her father to distraction with her 'wild' antics.

*****Introduction***** Sundays are always day that bore me stupid so today we all took a trip to blockbuster to rent a few movies, I had seen many of the new releases so today I bit the bullet and rented The Wild Child as i had read many reviews on dooyoo that recommended this as a light hearted comedy that would be a chick flick not to be missed. *****The Film***** Well as I am a fan of Julia Roberts I wanted to see this as her niece (Emma Roberts) is the main actress, well Julia she is not and I have to say this was very disappointing as I found the actress to be very false and she over acted making me cringe at certain parts of the ...  Read the complete review

Wild Child had been on my 'DVD : to buy' list for quite some time ; since it was released in fact , although being my usual self , still hadn't got round to buying it. However , the other week , I decided that I had 'run out' of DVDs to watch and fancied some new ones , but didn't want to pay full price for them. So I logged on to www.play.com and clicked on the 'DVD Sale' page , and was happy to discover that a lot of the DVDs , some quite recent , were on sale from as little as £2.99 ; Wild Child was one of them , and I instantly clicked the 'add to my basket' button.
