This films is quite typicalof the noughties time as

it taps into key issues of ateenagers life today.

Not as gritty as socialrealism, but generalworries of teenagers egfitting in at a new school,this gives something for

the whole audience torelate to as the schoolexperience is nostaligicfor all.

Critical reception http://twomoosonefoo.vox.com/library/post/moovie-review

Thought the film was predictable due to film trailer,(this is typical of the teen feel good film)

I would expect this movie to do quite well in US,amongst the teenage girls. Emma Roberts appearsto me to be the more likeable version ofParis Hiltonor Lindsay Lohan. As for myself, did not regret goingfor it, but nothing to shout about. If you're on of thosewho enjoyed watching Simple Life, then go for it.

Film Differences However the romance in Wild Childis much

more innocent, than the corruptedexploration of relationships seen in Wish YouWere Here which resulted in an unwanted

teenage pregnancy.The CP in Wild Childis sent away to a

boarding school in an attempt to makestraighten her out so she behaves better,

where as in Wish You Were Here the CP iscontinuously helped and kept close to homeas much as possible.
