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...

ShaylaPaige I LOVED this movie... actually its coming in the mail right now. It has really good plot and good acting. I LOVE the plot. And just so you know how I stand on the whole "Slap her, she's french" thing, I think anyone who makes a big deal about it needs help. I am VERY french, my grandparents are Franco-American. And i laughed so HARD when I saw the title, I thought it was funny so did my family. I don't see anything racist about it, if it said "Slap all French they aren't right" now thats different. But anyways this is a very cute very original very funny movie. And i recommend you watch it.get it its very good!!thanks for reading

Robert W. When my girlfriend picked this movie it was called "She Gets What She Wants" and I had never heard of it before other than Piper Perabo (Coyete Ugly) was in it. So basically I didn't have any expectations going in but I like teen comedies. I was pleasantly surprised, it didn't blow me away but it also didn't suck. It was just in the middle somewhere with decent acting, a so-so plot and some genuinely funny lines.Slap Her, She's French AKA She Gets What She Wants is the story of Uber Popular girl Starla Grady. She dreams of being the next Diane Sawyer, and is doing everything she can to get known. She wins at everything, head cheerleader, beauty contests, the popular boyfriend and sets all the trends at school. In order to beat out the competition at a beauty contest Starla announces to her town that her family will be graciously hosting a foreign exchange student from France. When Genevieve Le Plouff arrives she seems like the perfect opportunity for Starla to impress everyone. Slowly with some very sly moves Genevieve begins to move her way into Starla's life and her position in the social ladder. Starla begins to realize that Genevieve is purposely overtaking her and it's working. With the help of a former adversary Starla will discover a disturbing secret about the supposed French foreign exchange student and give it her all to overcome her.Lead actress Jane McGregor who plays Starla does a great job at being the bitchy "Clueless" type girl, obsessed with only herself. Throughout the course of the film she manages to learn a little about being a little nicer but overall she keeps her character true to herself. She's spoiled and kind of an anti hero but fun anyways. Piper Perabo does a decent job at playing the faux Foreign exchange student even at 27 years old!! She plays wicked pretty well but never really gets down and dirty which you kind of expect her character to get. Most of the comedy is either physical comedy or one liners surrounding sexual comments and mistaken English which is still pretty funny. The humor doesn't get really dirty like some teen comedies go with. It's not a bad movie and you won't necessarily be disappointed with it but it's mostly forgettable offbeat and very low key. 6/10

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!
