A slight but tart teen comedy, Child carries some surprising bite, subverting the norm with a fine British cast helping to sell the pixy stick fantasy, buttressed by Roberts's refreshing angry streak.

Despite a shaky start, Wild Child is actually a surprisingly entertaining teen flick, thanks to likeable performances and a script that highlights the importance of friendship. Worth seeing.

The Age (Australia)

The screenplay by Lucy Dahl (daughter of Roald) dwells unpleasantly on cruelty and humiliation, and finally Poppy does little more than exchange one form of snobbery for another.

Time Out

This celebration of mid-Atlantic compromise is one for the youngest and most forgiving of teenage girls.

Shadows on the Wall

Bright and silly, with just enough wit and intelligence to make it watchable, this British-American teen comedy doesn't break much new ground, but is pretty entertaining while it lasts.

What begins as tedious teen comedy/drama about a Californian brat turns out to be a surprisingly agreeable popcorn flick.

Mildly entertaining and utterly innocuous...

Screen International

A project broad-based enough to make tween competitor Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging feel arthouse.

London Evening Standard

It may be manna for teen girls but any kind of critical eye will find it about as convincingly made as the last St Trinian's movie. It is played, though, with lively abandon.

The Australian

It's an unoriginal story but one with potential, and the actors who play Poppy's school chums are lively company.
