Synopsis
What a Girl Wants (2003) is the family comedy you can watch online about a free-spirited American teenager who crosses the ocean to meet the father she has never known. Directed by Dennie Gordon, it sends a New York girl straight into the buttoned-up world of British high society.
Daphne (Amanda Bynes) was raised by her musician mom and does things her own way. When she learns that her father is Henry Dashwood (Colin Firth), a reserved aristocrat running for political office, she shows up in London unannounced. Suddenly she is navigating stuffy garden parties, fashion shows, a sharp-elbowed fiancee, and a stepsister who wants her gone. To belong, Daphne has to learn the rules of etiquette without losing the spark that makes her herself.
Firth brings his dry British restraint, Bynes brings warmth and comic energy, and the clash between Manhattan attitude and London manners carries the whole film. A cozy fish-out-of-water story about finding family and staying true to yourself. Watch What a Girl Wants online on iFILM.
