In her small-town high school in Texas, the popular and gorgeous cheerleader Starla Grady (Jane McGregor) has everything going for her. When her family decides to host French foreign exchange student Genevieve Le Plouff (Piper Perabo), Starla shows her around and introduces her to the cool kids. Genevieve is more than happy to tag along, but she soon has bigger aspirations -- she intends to take over Starla's life completely and push her into the outs of the social hierarchy.

In Australia this is known as "Slap Her, She's French!" When ultra-popular cheerleader Starla Grady (Jane McGregor) faces the potentially life-shattering prospect of being booted from the squad for flunking French class, her family imports real-life Parisian Genevieve Le Plouff (Piper Perabo) to help Starla make the grade! But her plan gets way out of hand when the deceptively simple Genevieve rises to become toast of the town and begins to take over Starla's social stature! also stars Trent Ford, Michael McKean, Julie White, Brandon Smith, Jesse James, Nicki Lynn Aycox and Alexandra Adi. directed by Melanie Mayron.

Casting is all wrong, the script is trash and the dirrection is nowhere to be found, it must be made for cable.

There isn't a minute's genuine satire in the whole squawking show.

...even if one were willing to overlook the downright aimless storyline, there's still the dearth of laughs and muddled character motives to contend with.
