L.A. Weekly -
Strictly for budding young ladies, though it does offer those who've already bloomed the grown-up pleasures of Firth, a great actor who graciously invites you to join him in the slow-burn romantic corner into which he's rapidly painting himself.

Variety -
It feels much more like a shameless reshuffle of "The Princess Diaries."
|
|
Chicago Reader -
Pleasant bubblegum romp, which was inspired by the old Sandra Dee picture "The Reluctant Debutante."
|
|
Rolling Stone -
It's slick girlie stuff, but the cast makes it go down easy.

|
Chicago Sun-Times -
The movie is clearly intended for girls between the ages of 9 and 15, and for the more civilized of their brothers, and isn't of much use to anyone else.
