Gordon Kinski teaches high school in Brooklyn, while his girlfriend, Sophie Tremblay, works as a chef. She gets invited to test, with a chance of being hired to work at the Château Frontenac, in her hometown of Quebec City. So, the young couple travel together to Quebec, where Gordon meets his girlfriend’s family for the first time and her new boss, which she used to date.

I remember seeing the preview for this film and being quite curious. Being bilingual, I am usually entertained when the shock of cultures between French Canadians and English is used on screen. Unlike Bon Cop, Bad Cop, French Girl relies a little too heavily on clichés.

 That being said, the story is still entertaining and the cast does a good job, though some roles are way to caricatural to be believed.
