VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

popcorninhell She Gets What She Wants, also known as "Slap Her, She's French," this little movie is about a solipsistic Texas high-school cheerleader named Starla (Jane McGregor), whose family takes in a foreign exchange student from France named Genevieve (Piper Perabo). The plot then devolves into a less subtle version of Mean Girls (2004) with the Genevieve becoming popular at school, stealing the affections of the family and taking Starla's place on the cheer- leading squad. Will young Starla be able to take her social life back or will the conniving Genevieve successfully ruin her future.This movie was released overseas mere months before the invasion of Iraq and wasn't given a TV release in the United States until 2005. By that time freedom-fries were all the rage and Franco-hatred was on the rise. The creators probably felt there was finally a market for this unfairly shelved movie. Thing is this movie is less about Americans hating on France's stance on Iraq than it is a sardonic and satiric look at American culture told from an outsider's perspective. Starla, our protagonist is so insulated to the trappings of American life that she doesn't realize there's something very off about Genevieve. The final reveal at the end of the film only reinforces that idea that our culture as a whole conditions us to be self-centered, confrontational and petty. Even if that comes at the cost of our reputation. Now, in 2015 we've stopped eating freedom-fries but there's not a chance in hell we're eating humble pie.

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 !

moviedude1 When a teenage beauty queen from a small town in Texas has big dreams of anchoring "Good Morning America," it comes with an agenda that includes taking in a foreign exchange student from France, but what she wasn't counting on was all the mayhem that followed her across the Atlantic Ocean.This movie is a farce! First of all, let's be real! What teenager would go to such lengths to try and pull something like this off? And who would have those kind of resources at her age to put a plan like this into action? Too many questions, and no answers! The only reason this film caught my attention was that I saw a scene while channel surfing and Piper Perabo was "doing her thing" in the film and it caught my attention, to where I looked ahead in the program guide and planned accordingly to watch it, but just because I liked Perabo in "Coyote Ugly" and tolerated her in "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" does not mean she's my favorite, but I was very glad when the film was over. Funny parts in the film, but not a funny film, itself.5 out of 10 stars.

Jurassic Chick She Gets What She Wants (Otherwise 'Slap Her...She's French'), is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time!Staring Piper Paraboo as the seemingly innocent Genevieve Laplouf, this movie has an innocently mean nature. It starts when Starla Grady, a snob and popular high school senior is 'found' by Genevieve Laplouf and is brought to America to help Starla win the pageant. Little did she know, Genevieve Laplouf is hiding something, and Starla's past is about to come back to bite her in the ass! The end result and reason is really very funny if you think about it, and you just HAVE to love Starla's friends.'GOSH, Y'all!'Ten out of Ten!
