What on earth? will be most peoples reaction to the title of this film, and watching it scarcely makes it much clearer.
Opening like a lightweight Drop Dead Gorgeous, it shows popular small-town blonde Starla (McGregor) winning the local beauty contest on the reluctant promise that shell take in a French exchange student.
Cue Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly) as Genevieve, a beret-wearing extra from Allo Allo, all thick accent and stripy tops until she decides she wants Starlas glamorous life, and will do just about anything to get it.
** Single White Female** tactics follow, but the tone is so muddled and the characterisation so superficial, its hard to know whether youre watching a thriller, a comedy or a teen romance. Its few amusing set-pieces could entertain older teen movie fans if theyre feeling generous.
