      Poppy: When the headgirl has earned my respect, then I will shake her hand, biatch!

      Harriet: I'm sorry?

      Poppy: Apology accepted.

    Good Fun
    OK, so this film isn't going to win any Oscars but it does deliver.

    I saw this film this evening with friends (we're 18) and we had a good laugh and a good time watching it. Some of it#s content makes it quite a predictable teen movie but despite this the film is good fun and has some surprise moments.

    For those expecting a tween film like What A Girl Wants this is not it! There's a lot of swearing, sexual reference and drinking which is more like the kind of things normal 16 year olds do. This film has more of an edge than your usual teen flick and will definitely appeal to a wider range of ages. So give it a chance, it might surprise you.
