Recensioni de* critic*

While the rom-com formula is familiar, with countless films touching on this formula, French Girl manages to subvert expectations in a few ways that make it feel fresh enough to justify its existence... The film’s exploration of past loves and the complexities of moving on adds a layer of depth to the otherwise lighthearted story.

[Braff] is an amiable performer, and “French Girl” should hardly be the his swan song as a leading man, but this role serves as a warning that hapless, puppyish charm doesn’t wear quite as snuggly after a certain age... For every inventive or simply satisfying rom-com, there are dozens of clumsy, rote ones — “French Girl” falls among the latter.

“French Girl” is a love triangle farce that’s mostly set in Quebec City but takes place on Planet Rom-com where bipedal characters act out in ways that rarely resemble human behavior... The trouble is, none of the performances are on the same wavelength: Hudgens is an outrageously hilarious monster; Brochu, an earnest heroine; and the increasingly unhinged Braff tries too hard to be empathetic.
