Where many modern romantic comedies falter is a laser-focus on the romance and a weak commitment to the comedy — French Girl, a Canadian indie out this weekend, does not have that problem.
Starring Zach Braff, Vanessa Hudgens and Québécois actress Évelyne Brochu, the rom-com is laugh-out-loud funny and never short on charm.
It was shot on-location in Quebec City and follows Gordon Kinski (played by a disarmingly charming Braff) and Sophie Tremblay (the effortlessly chic Brochu) on a trip from Brooklyn to the Canadian city to meet Sophie’s family.
