What a Girl Wants
Directed by Dennie Gordon
American Daphne Reynolds heads to Europe in search of the father she's never met. But instead of finding a British version of her boho mother, she learns the love of her mom's life is an uptight politician. The only problem now is that her long-lost father is engaged to a fiercely territorial social climber with a daughter who makes Daphne's life miserable. From TMDB

WHAT A GIRL WANTS could be written off as a fluffy teen movie, but there are a lot of interesting themes being explored regarding assimilation, conservatism, and sacrificing your identity to keep the peace.

positive · AI labelView post →I just learned that the poster for the 2003 movie 'What a Girl Wants' originally showed Amanda Bynes holding up the ✌️ sign but it was edited out due to concern that it would be seen as a comment in some way on the Iraq War.

How about one of the weirder Peter Pan adaptations I've ever seen. Why did these kids have so much chemistry? Was it inappropriate?
