What a Girl Wants(2003)

This is the movie directed by Dennie Gordon.The main character is played by Amanda Bynes and she is one of my favorite actress!!!The movie begins with a American girl,Daphne,who is raised by her mother,Libby.Her mother is both an artist and wedding singer and Daphne herself is a waitress on the wedding.On Daphne's seventeenth birthday,Libby tells her about her absentee father.

After hearing that,she is curious about what her father looks like and why he left her and Libby.Then she told her mon that she wants to go to London and visits her father,who is an influential aristocratic politician,Lord  Henry Dashwood.

Libby agrees to let her go find her dad in London.When she arrives at London,she is busying looking for the place where her father lives.

 Before sneaking in her father's estate,she meets a cute musician,Ian,who is a singer in the band.She tells him that she is in search for a wealthy politician,that is, her father.

Finally,she finds the address and sneaks into the beautiful palace.Yet she is caught immediately by her dad,Henry.

Henry is so surprised that Daphne is her daughter because Libby left him without saying that she was pregnant.He doesn't know he has a daughter existing in the world until Daphne comes to London.Soon she lives in the her dad's palace and she is stunned by the large,fantastic and luxurious room.And that is her room!!!

Her dad asks her to attend royal dress show and she is so glad that she has a chance to go there with her father.Henry has a fiancée, Glynnis and her daughter,Clarissa.They don't like Daphne because they are afraid that she will threaten Henry's political career and her existence may be a scandal for Henry.This is likely to destroy his reputation and election.Clarissa asks Daphne to choose clothing she like to the royal dress show in order to see her making fun of herself.

Nevertheless,instead of wearing what Clarissa had suggested for her,she wears clothing that she sees fit.She unintetionally walks on the stage and turns out to be a professional model that every audience fixs their eyes on her.

She is an ordinary girl that suddenly walks into the life of an upper class and breaks the rules of what a noble girl should act like.She often does what she wants in front of other people and this in turn causes her father to be laughed by citizens and he might be unable to be elected as a member of Parliament. Consequently,she starts to learn to act like a lady.

Because of learning to be an elegant girl,she has no free time to see Ian,who becomes her boyfriend.The worst thing happened on her coming-out party,  Clarissa and her mother play a trick on her by locking her in the room.Her party is ruined  totally.Her mother also attends her coming-out party.Unfortunately,she left London with her mother at last due to unhappiness brought by vicious Clarissa and her mother.

Daphne and her mom goes back to US and did not contact Henry anymore.Unexpectedly,Henry goes to US and wants to remarry Libby.Ian also goes to US in order to be with her girlfriend,Daphne.Daphne is so surprised and glad that she has a father again and a boyfriend who love her so much.Later,they all go back to London and lead a happy life!!!
