Emma Roberts is Poppy Moore and she has a problem with getting out of hand. So, it's her last straw and her father Gerry (Aidan Quinn) to a boarding school in England called Abbey Mount which was started in 1797. Poppy is greeted by Mrs. Kingsley (Natasha Richardson), who is the Head Mistress tells Poppy that she will try to make her experience less difficult than it should be. Matron (Shirley Henderson) plays sort of a nanny type character who keeps the girls in line and takes away their cell phones on the first day. People at the school don't follow Poppy's lingo which makes it rather funny to watch. Being bullied by the head girl Harriet (Georgia King) is always fighting with Poppy because she does not like her.
Her friends in her room which includes a girl called Drippy (Juno Temple) who you might remember from Year One, help her to try and get expelled because she doesn't fit in. When Poppy finally figures out its not such a bad place because she has some good friends, a guy named Freddie (Alex Pettyfer) who likes her, and that her mother went to the same school she does not want to leave anymore.
This movie is mostly a chick flick, but I've had my fair share of watching movies like this when it's hard to believe. Roberts character is done so well by her and she is funny and quick witted. I remember last seeing her in Nancy Drew, even then I knew she was going to be in more movies to come and grow with her career in acting. I'm sorry to say, but this was Natasha Richardson's last movie as it is sad to see her go. Married to Liam Neeson, in March 2009, she died suddenly, after falling and receiving a head injury whilst skiing in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada. She will always be remembered and never forgotten. All in all, this movie was funny and you should get together with some girlfriends and check it out.
