Wild Child (2008 Nick Moore)

It may have been written by Roald (and Patricia Neal's) daughter Lucy Dahl, but actually feels like it was constructed by a computer, so formulaic is it. (Loved the lame voiceover 'Stop her!' when she runs into blazing building.) Even the syrupy music is auto-generated.

Julia Robert's niece Emma is the wild child in question, Natasha Richardson (in her last role) is the (slightly lesbian?) head, and the best thing in the movie, which also features Cold Meat's Kimberley Nixon, as well as Juno Temple and other St Trinian's alumni (just made that up). Hopefully, Georgia King (the head girl) has given up acting.

P.S. Yes, this is editor Nick Moore.
