She Gets What She Wants (2002)




Synopsis

Starla Grady (Jane McGregor), the most popular girl at Splendona High School in Splendona, TX, is on top of the world. That is, at least, until foreign-exchange student Genevieve LePlouff (Piper Perabo) moves in with Starla's family. Starla's parents had hoped that Genevieve's tutoring would help raise Starla's French grade, which had dropped dangerously low. At first, like Starla's other followers, Genevieve seems in awe of her charmed existence. However, when Genevieve's story of misfortune and lost love is featured in the school newspaper, Starla feels the winds begin to change. Before she knows it, Genevieve has stolen all of her best friends, her boyfriend, her position on the cheerleading squad, and her status as the most popular girl in school. Starla, not one to go down without a fight, sets out to expose Genevieve as the lying backstabber she truly is. Slap Her...She's French is directed by veteran thirtysomething actress Melanie Mayron.

What Critics Say


Who knew red meat could be so funny? With butt and fart film comedies threatening to dictate the American way of life, some mindless riffing on the "What's for Dinner" theme might scare Coke-swilling, burger-munching youths into rethinking their diets. It's too bad then the funniest part about Slap Her…She's French is, in fact, the undercurrent that Americans spend their lives eating barbecued ribs and potato salad. But the film's premise-the foreign-exchange student from hell--just doesn't amount to much, unless you consider that "the French kiss everything" is the very definition of culture shock. Slap Her…She's French isn't a bad movie, but, hey, if you're hankering for BBQ frog legs, take a bottle of KC Masterpiece on your next visit to the Eiffel Tower.
Spill.com puts a whole new spin on the "classic" movie review; turning dorky and dry into hilarious and hip. Spill's reviews are high-quality animated videos featuring a regular cast of comic personalities.
