The French Guy

Kris Rothstein
Tags

No secret Canadian knowledge will help illuminate The French Guy, the latest film by Ann Marie Fleming. Though it is obviously shot in Vancouver, this absurd story lacks a sense of place, and the central joke about the eponymous French guy falls flat. The plot involves a groggy brain-surgery patient, an inopportune kiss, a vacation in Goa and a lot of bloody mishaps. The gleeful gore is funny at times, but it doesn’t congeal into a memorable film.
