6.3 / 10 · TMDB

An American girl, Daphne, heads to Europe in search of the father she's never met.

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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

What a Girl Wants has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.3/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2003 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
