Scrubs star Zach Braff makes a return to rom-coms in French Girl, for which we’ve gotten our hands on the first trailer, poster, and a new batch of images. French Girl finds Braff in charmingly familiar territory as a hopeless romantic whose proposal plans are put in jeopardy when his girlfriend gets swept away to Canada by a job offer from her ex. Of course, he’s determined to keep them together, and leaves Brooklyn, N.Y. behind before quickly finding himself out of his depth while trying to charm her hard-to-impress, French-speaking family.
You can check out the trailer for French Girl below.
Alongside the newly released trailer, you can also check out the official synopsis for French Girl below, which is sure to appeal to fans of Braff as he takes the lead in this heartwarming romantic comedy.
“Gordon, a hopeless romantic, finds his proposal plans are thrown into chaos when his girlfriend is swept away to Quebec by a job offer from her ex, a sophisticated celebrity chef. Determined to keep their love alive, Gordon leaves Brooklyn for her hometown, only to find himself hilariously out of his depth in attempting to charm her hard-to-impress, French-speaking family.”
Directed by James A. Woods & Nicolas Wright, French Girl stars the likes of Evelyne Brochu, Luc Picard, Antoine Olivier Pilon, Isabelle Vincent, Charlotte Aubin, Muriel Dutil, with William Fichtner and Vanessa Hudgens alongside Zach Braff.
In a joint statement to PEOPLE, directors Woods and Wright described French Girl as “our love letter to the place we were born and raised, the beautiful Canadian province of Quebec.” The pair “were amazed by the similarities of our parents’ stories; English men who fell head over heels with French Canadian women and moved to La Belle Province to start their families. We were inspired to frame that story as a throwback romantic comedy that would celebrate the culture clash” between the U.S. and Canada.
Due to debut at the 2024 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, French Girl is set to land in theaters on March 15.
Zach Braff Thinks a Scrubs Revival Will Happen Eventually
The idea and hopes of an eventual Scrubs reunion with Zach Braff and the rest of the Sacred Heart team has been doing the rounds in recent years, thanks to the return of several major sitcoms such as Frasier. While there is currently nothing in development, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence certainly thinks that a revival is “inevitable.”
“I think it’s inevitable that it happens. The joke of it with us is the first time that six months go by that we don’t hang out, we’ll end up doing a Scrubs reunion.”
But it’s not just Lawrence who’s on board. Braff has also stated that he too thinks a Scrubs return, perhaps even a Scrubs movie, will happen eventually.
“We talk about that, because I point to Psych, who’s now made 2 successful films. It would be fun. I think it would be fun for us to all do something like that. We just have to get Disney to be into it and Bill Lawrence to be into it. I think it will happen; the fans seem to really want it to happen.”
