Advantages: A glossy addition to the teen movie genre. Disadvantages: It's hardly original.
training and playing montages). Thankfully Moore's previous career as a film editor stands him in good stead, keeping these sequences brief and fun. His sharp editing also keeps the pacing sprightly throughout the ninety-eight minute running time and keeps the gags fairly funny. However, it sometimes feels as though plot points have been excised for the sake of brevity or to keep the censors happy. For example, Poppy and her friends fail to buy alcohol but are then mysteriously hung-over after the social. But these are minor niggles and fans of the genre and indeed the targeted teenage girl audience will no doubt find lots here to like.
The screenplay by Lucy Dahl is a basic fish-out-of-water story at heart. You are under no misapprehension as to what the eventual outcome will be from the outset. You know the bad girl from the States will ...
