Jace E This movie is a feel-good time capsule straight from 2003. Amanda Bynes is incredibly likable, Colin Firth embraces the caged British dad, and Oliver James' voice is melodic. The plot is straightforward with cliches throughout, but that's what makes it so fun to watch. The multiple shopping spree montages with weird angles are a bit much, and the choreographed number is slightly painful to endure, but the rest of the movie is actually strong. There are surprising tender moments, "Long Time Coming" is a banger and Glynnis is the worst. Put that all together, and you have a movie that is charming, rewatchable and easygoing. Best Character: Daphne Best Quote: "Anyone seen my pruning shears? The *old bat* seems to have forgotten where she put them." - Jocelyn Best Scene: Seeing Ian at the Party Best Song: "Long Time Coming" (Honorable mention to "Half Life") Note: Shoutout to the scene where we see a picture of Amanda Bynes as a child and then we see a completely different girl blow out her birthday candles. Note 2: When Oliver James hits the high note. Chills. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Jellytoy P Amanda Bynes at Her Best. Great Movie from her.

Then the real story begins. The father and the people with him are unsure what to do with the daughter, especially with the father running for reelection, he contacts her mother, who is angry with him because she was sent home and he never contacted her, and the daughter is confused about what she has done, and what she should do now, especially when she meets and falls in love with a young local man. The story might best be described as wish-fulfillment fantasy, but is pleasant enough without being too soppy or unrealistic. Good performances by the cast and good pacing help the movie, and while it has no deep meaning it is still good entertainment. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I wouldn't be bothered by this movie because I don't like Clarissa & her mum because they're both c--ts & Armistead Stuart is a filthy t--t Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
