wild child

Yesterday was as busy as today. Yesterday afternoon, my dad took me to the bank in Giant to get my 5th ATM card this year. No, I don't keep money in 5 different banks. It's my fifth ATM card from the same bank. I was too clumsy with the other four -_-

Work that day should start at 1-and it was already 12.30pm when we arrived. It's times like these you WISH hyperactive, over-caffeinated Starbucks teenagers work at banks-not that I hate the bank workers, it's just that I'M RUSHING FOR TIME MAN CAN YOU PICK IT UP HUH CAN YOU CAN YOU?!

Punched in at 13:38. Punched out at 17:39. Ran to the ATM machine, took out money, paid a bill at another bank across Aeon, went home.

Time is 17:58. Sarah is already at the train station. Oh noes! Change, grab some stuff, went out again. Ran ran ran and met Sarah. *phew*

Jian Quin so graciously extended an invitation to Sarah, who invited me to the premiere (or sneak preview) of Wild Child at Sunway Pyramid. JQ's brother also accompanied us. Thank you JQ~



Wild Child stars Emma Roberts (Nancy Drew). It's the brat-going past-the-line-getting-sent-off-to-England-at-a-boarding-school-making-troubles-finding-out-her-true-worth-and-snagging-a-guy-in-the-process-while-building-friendship-with-four-other-girls kinda movie, if you know what I mean.

The perfect movie for pre-teens to watch. If you're expecting a new kind of movie with an unexpected twist, don't. It follows the tried-and-tested Lizzie McGuire/Hannah Montana formula-everything done with attitude will end happily.


Personally, I feel the movie doesn't live up to the title: Wild Child. Where was the wild? In this day and age, I tell you, whatever Poppy (the main character) does has already been done by other girls her age in various other movies (think Freaky Friday, A Cinderella Story) and sometimes even wilder (think Juno).

However, the fashion in this movie is alright. Poppy is bedecked in luxurious attire-LV bag, skinny pink jeans, iPod, tanning lights (hahaha). The music is sometimes off, but nevertheless will connect with its target audience (teens, preteens) with the various hits from singers these days.

The one thing the producers should have focused on is how DATED this movie would look in five or ten year's time. It's like the 80s style-so dated, so not in these days.

Still, a fun movie to watch. Rating: 2/5
