67In her sassy but scrubbed way, Bynes is a real charmer, and What a Girl Wants is a likable throwaway.
-
60While this is far from an avant-garde, ingenious flick, it uses a dependable formula that’ll definitely deliver.
-
60Bynes is a charmer who adeptly straddles the line between romantic heroine and physical comedienne, while Firth is extremely enjoyable as a befuddled father.
-
38Were it not for young star Amanda Bynes' energetic good nature in the face of drab dialogue and wooden stereotypes, What a Girl Wants might have been a career-ending movie violation rather than just an embarrassing fender-bender.
