Slap Her... She's French Audience Reviews

VividSimon Simply Perfect
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
ghostravenfin Reading through these reviews, I must agree with a lot of points I hate agreeing with. It's a comedy and not supposed to be taken seriously. That much is true, but if not taking something seriously is what makes a good comedy, then Epic Movie is a comedy masterpiece.But no, Epic Movie is painfully terrible, and so is this film. This does not imply I don't have a sense of humor like many will probably accuse me of. I actually find some parts that I COULD find funny in some circumstances, but here I don't.The film clearly implies that it's meant to be a comedy with a slight serious edge to it. Okay, the comedy in itself is slightly amusing at best and gave me a bit of a chuckle in one part or another. So it shouldn't deserve a score so low as 1/10, right? Well, maybe not, but it's the highest I can give when the rest of the movie is so hateful. I found only the little brother likable, and he was like from another world compared to the rest of the characters. The main protagonist in particular, is stupid, shallow, narrow-minded, homophobic c**t who always gets what she wants despite being a bimbo of a repulsive personality. And when things get ruined for her I'm probably supposed to feel sorry for her, but I start feeling good.When a movie clearly wants me to root for one character, but ends up making me hate him/her from the deepest reaches of my soul, something is done terribly wrong. Even the environment where Starla lives in seems to feed her success with its culture and that is just unsettling. It makes me wonder in fear, if this culture actually exists in America or is this a plain parody of it. Even if it's just a parody, the rest of the film just ruins it for me. Especially when in the end Starla could have just learned, that being such a terrible person isn't the best way to live, she ultimately wins and learns that it is okay to be terrible, because if you're popular, you'll survive everything. That and no clear mark of any lesson learned in the process make me want to write an alternate ending where Starla and her new boyfriend (forgot his name) have their car explode on their face as they drive in the horizon at the end of the film.And still it would be letting her go easy...
elodie base Actually, it's been a long time since I didn't see a "silly teen movie" that makes me laugh like this. It was a very, very good surprise ! I think that the actual grade of the movie is totally unfair. The movie worth so more than 4.9... Usually I just don't even see bad ranked movies, but I don't know why this time I did. And I'm glad I saw it !BTW, I'm a French exchange student in the USA, and both stereotypes about American and French people made me laugh a lot. See it, it worth the shot !
wyatt-hertz I caught this on a movie channel after years of wondering what the hell happened to it. I was dismayed by the shelving and re-titling of this movie. I definitely would have paid to see it. The person responsible for shelving and re-titling this needs a serious beating! This movie deserved a theatrical run and certainly would have earned back the studios' investment. I remember seeing it with my mom on DirectV and saying "What the hell? That is NOT what this movie is called and why the hell did it never show up in theaters?" It is a pretty solid teen-type comedy. Totally fell in love with Piper because of this movie and I am pleased to see she has a pretty solid career.
dlgart Many of the negative reviews of this film are obviously written by francophiles who have had their feathers ruffled by the original title and apparently haven't actually seen the movie. Slap her She's French makes fun of generically American and more specifically Texan culture, FAR more than the French. I was delighted(and surprised)to find this a very well acted and cleverly written teen comedy that provided a vehicle for showcasing the talents of a number of young actresses. The film does stereotype and titillate but it is a teen comedy and they tend to do that. Those who are offended by such things should consider therapy to get over themselves or simply avoid this genre. Personally I was too busy laughing to be bothered.
