The term French girl describes a woman originating from France. This story is of a French-Canadian girl, not a French girl. French is also a language, naturally evolved as a dialect does, from the original language from France.
QUOTE from CBC entertainment review:
The premise is simple: Gordon wants to propose to Sophie, but she gets a job offer from her ex-girlfriend Ruby (played by the stunning Vanessa Hudgens) back in Quebec City before he can seal the deal.
That means meeting Sophie's very Québécois family on their farm, while an increasingly unhinged Ruby tries to sabotage their relationship and win Sophie back.
This is the first feature for director pair James A. Woods and Nicolas Wright, who also wrote the script.
It's a personal project: Both their fathers fell in love with their French Canadian mothers and moved to Quebec to start families.
Despite being first-time feature directors, the film is incredibly sharp, both in its comedy and its editing.
It hits its beats hard, and there are plenty of very funny moments.
The movie is part culture clash, part ensemble comedy, and owes a lot to Braff's experienced hand in rom-coms. As Gordon, he conjures an early Billy Crystal in his comedic timing and a bit of the bashfulness of a mid-career Grant - high praise in the rom-com world.
