Starla Grady (
Jane McGregor), the most popular girl at Splendona High School in Splendona, TX, is on top of the world. That is, at least, until foreign-exchange student
Genevieve LePlouff (
Piper Perabo) moves in with
Starla's family.
Starla's parents had hoped that
Genevieve's tutoring would help raise
Starla's French grade, which had dropped dangerously low. At first, like
Starla's other followers,
Genevieve seems in awe of her charmed existence. However, when
Genevieve's story of misfortune and lost love is featured in the school newspaper,
Starla feels the winds begin to change. Before she knows it,
Genevieve has stolen all of her best friends, her boyfriend, her position on the cheerleading squad, and her status as the most popular girl in school.
Starla, not one to go down without a fight, sets out to expose
Genevieve as the lying backstabber she truly is.
Slap Her...She's French is directed by veteran
thirtysomething actress
Melanie Mayron.
