Zach Braff, Vanessa Hudgens, and Evelyne Brochu star in this heartwarming romantic comedy. Gordon, a hopeless romantic, finds his proposal plans are thrown into chaos when his girlfriend is swept away to Quebec by a job offer from her ex, a sophisticated celebrity chef. Determined to keep their love alive, Gordon leaves Brooklyn for her hometown, only to find himself hilariously out of his depth in attempting to charm her hard-to-impress, French-speaking family.

It's an assumed rom-com with no pretention and it delivers. The jokes are funny both in english and in french; people in the theater were laughing out loud. My wife an I had a great date night at the movies, what else can you expect from a comedy?

Being a romantic comedy...reasonably well with some funny moments but also too much bad stereotyping, have seen it in French and the post sync. was bad enough to noticeable throughout the movie. And sadly the scenario was so predictable...that you knew what funny gag moment would be used throughout out the film...what save them some times was their perfect execution.

What a nice surprise. The entire theater was laughing for the duration of the film. Good jokes, great story, the actors are pleasant, really a great experience and a comedy to watch again. What a great way to show the beautiful Québec city. The chemistry between the actors is also amazing. Don't trust the haters, it's a great comedy.

Despite the critics who are always looking for an Oscar winner this movie was a fun rom/com. Especially if like me you're from Quebec and have fun with french Canadian humour and beautiful Quebec City. Loved Evelyne Brochur as the french girl and her family!!!

Really wasn't expecting much, but I do like Zach Braff's work, so I watched. Very enjoyable. A throw-back rom-com, some great performances - especially Zach - and just a very charming comedy that they don't make much of. Real people, real emotion, and great script. Fully enjoyed this movie. Surprised at the critics on this one, what's not to like people? We need more of these.

A throw back to old time yarns except with contemporary ambiguous sexuality added. The protagonists are a couple that resemble Celine Dion with John Ritter - if you can imagine

Variety

For every inventive or simply satisfying rom-com, there are dozens of clumsy, rote ones — “French Girl” falls among the latter.

Amy Nicholson

New York Times

There are at least a dozen good zingers in here, particularly a three-part punchline from Ed Weeks as a snobbish food critic that kicks off with, “Have you ever seen an emaciated dolphin?” The trouble is none of the performances are on the same wavelength

Globe and Mail

French Girl’s crude and at times infantile slapstick humour is offset by livelier beats between the cast, whose cross-cultural banter is littered with flashes of genuine wit.

Likable actors can't save this uneven, cringe-worthy romcom.

Reel Film Reviews

...the picture’s been suffused with a whole host of contrived, unappealing attributes that slowly-but-surely render its positives moot...

Rated: 1.5/4

Third Coast Review

My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard…or maybe I was retching. Braff is bad, but in his defense, he’s got a garbage screenplay to work with. Other than some tasty-looking French dishes, there’s almost nothing to recommend about French Girl.

Rated: 1.5/4
