    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was Natasha Richardson's final film before her death on March 18, 2009.
    • Goofs
      All websites, including Google, say that the film's run-time is 2h04m. but all websites with the movie only have it with a run-time of 1h34m. The extra half-hour is important to the film because it shows Poppy being more rebellious and her friendship growing more with her dorm-mates. Small clips of the missing section can be seen within the extended trailer on YouTube.
    • Quotes
      • Poppy: When the headgirl has earned my respect, then I will shake her hand, biatch!
      • Harriet: I'm sorry?
      • Poppy: Apology accepted.
    • Crazy credits
      The end credits begin with scrapbook cutouts of Poppy and her new life at Abbey Mount, later showing a clip of her and her new friends at Poppy's beach house in Malibu.
