‘French Girl’ Review: Zach Braff Finds Himself Pitted Against Vanessa Hudgens in a Clumsy Love Triangle Rom-Com


Zach Braff stars in a romantic comedy as a teacher who fears his Quebecois chef girlfriend will return to his old flame, played by Vanessa Hudgens.

Exploring the nuances of romance isn’t as easy as laying waste to cities, as proven by “ French Girl,” a new rom-com written and directed by “Independence Day: Resurgence” scribes James A. The 48-year-old actor is an amiable performer, and “French Girl” should hardly be the his swan song as a leading man, but this role serves as a warning that hapless, puppyish charm doesn’t wear quite as snuggly after a certain age. Braff exerts a lot of effort in the absurd pratfalls, which include succumbing to a pill offered by his father (William Fichtner) on a flight to Quebec, running from a snappish swan and trying to recover the heirloom ring he plans to put on Sophie’s finger after Mammie gains possession of it.
