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... Full review

Yes it might not be the best movie ever made, but for mindless entertainment, this is a good movie. It made me laugh to see a high school princess's world throw into a frenzy (no, I am not a cynic... Full review

OK, I'll go out on the limb here by stating that I really liked this movie, and was pleasantly surprised by it. This flick simply does what it says on the cover: a comedy that is actually funny, rather than... Full review

Warning, possible spoilers.Yet another claptrap open and shut example of product placement in movies. Obvious insertion of said material makes a mediocre movie into a limping vehicle for in-your-face consumerism. I counted four times--two blatant mentions and two direct camera... Full review

Entertainment Insiders
Director Melanie Mayron created a fast-paced, intelligent movie that delivers its message with laughs.
S lap Her, She's French Slap Her, She's French delivers consistent laughs without resorting to toilet humor.

Shadows on the Wall
But the characters are hilarious, and very well played by a slightly second-string cast.
No, the plot is nothing particularly special, and the writers don't bother to be too terribly clever, resorting to the cheap laugh more often than not--usually obvious puns and corny innuendo.

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie V
But the characters are hilarious and very well played by a slightly second-string cast.
But with a tighter script and a more stellar cast this could have joined the pantheon of great teen comedies.

I thought, maybe, we're all so jaded, we can't see a funny movie when it's barking in our face.
Yes, when Michael McKean can't even raise the weight of a failing picture just a little bit, you've gotta chalk it up as a lost cause.
