Storyline
An American girl, Daphne, heads to Europe in search of the father she's never met. But instead of finding a British version of her bohemian mother, she learns the love of her mom's life is an uptight politician. The only problem now is that her long-lost dad is engaged to a fiercely territorial social climber with a daughter who makes Daphne's life miserable.

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.

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.
