What a Girl Wants

This film might not be a critical favorite, but it’s still an absolute must-watch! Amanda Bynes stars as a quirky American teen who takes to London to meet her estranged father, who just so happens to be running for the House of Commons. It’s funny, sweet and completely quotable.

The Space Between Us

Teens will get their romance fix in The Space Between Us, a story about a young boy who was raised on Mars. Asa Butterfield, star of the Netflix original series Sex Education, and Britt Robertson star as the young leads.
