Super predictable. But unexpectedly quite funny. Especially don't take it seriously. Watch food for Sunday afternoon - when it rains. Emma Roberts does quite well as a little hearted biatch.

You won't get more chickflick than this, especially aimed at teenagers. Not much news, but I still had a lot of fun with it.
Sometimes it's all very over-the-top, so much so that it's not even funny anymore. Every now and then, however, there could be a laugh in this film. However, I see very little of the romance genre in it, only at a few moments and they are (fortunately) very limited. On IMDb it also carries the drama genre, but the same applies to that. So definitely don't start if you're looking for a sugary sweet romantic film.
Just as some scenes are over-the-top, so are certain characters. In particular her friends in America and Harriet. This was not so much due to the actresses, but really to their role. Roberts plays her part very well, actually a bit like what I'm used to from her. For the rest also little to criticize the performance of the rest, overall it was fine.
The story is fun and moves at a good pace. Here and there it could have been a little more spice, but I must also not forget that I fall outside the target group of this film. It is all a bit predictable, while there have also been moments where more could be done.
Other than that, it's just a great movie to watch. Nice for a girls night, but I also enjoyed myself with it, 3.0*.

Mme.
Not a very special teen movie this one. Emma Roberts is perfectly chosen for her role as an annoying and spoiled teenager who naturally learns an important message towards the end. It's all wonderfully predictable.
The story isn't boring to follow, and Roberts plays with a lot of conviction. However, she is not helped by the rest and the story does little to be original. The movie is often a bit bland in terms of humor, especially in the beginning.
Predictable film, which can easily be skipped by adults. Points for Roberts and the smooth storytelling style, but after that you've had it quickly.
