Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
Loosely based on the 1958
comedy
The Reluctant Debutante starring
Sandra Dee,
the family-friendly comedy
What a Girl
Wants features popular Nickelodeon teen star
Amanda Bynes
in her first feature-starring performance after her debut in
Big Fat Liar.
She plays teenager Daphne Reynolds, who lives in New York City with her
musician mother, Libby (Kelly
Preston). After she turns 17, Daphne is undecided
about her future, so she takes off by herself to London in search of her
father. She immediately meets cute musician Ian (Oliver
James) before sneaking in to her father's estate to
surprise him. He turns out to be Lord Henry Dashwood (Colin
Firth), a fabulously wealthy aristocrat who doesn't
even know that she exists. He had met her mother in Morocco and the two were
married in a tribal ceremony. Upon their return to England, she left him and
went back to the U.S. without ever revealing that she was pregnant. The
uptight Henry is already flustered by his campaign for election, advised by
doting aide Alistair Payne (Jonathan
Pryce). His no-nonsense fiancée, Glynnis (Anna
Chancellor), and her bratty daughter, Clarissa (Christina
Cole), are threatened by Daphne's presence, thinking
that she will hurt Henry's political aspirations by causing a scandal.
However, the family matriarch (Eileen
Atkins) takes a liking to her and she soon finds
herself trying to liven things up at several stuffy aristocratic parties.
Meanwhile, the evil Glynnis and Clarissa conspire against her by trying to
sabotage her appearance, leading up to the conclusion at Daphne's very own
coming-out party.
