Update: Looks as though the DVD is available on Amazon.com
as is the soundtrack via Amazon's German site.
Original Post: One of the smarter teen romantic comedies out there. This is a film far more in the vein of Say Anything than American Pie III. Not that there's anything wrong with characters having sex with a pie but a movie like this is far rarer. The setup is simple. A German student too shy to ask out his crush finally invites her to a party. Only to accidentally insult her by insulting France - the country of her mother's birth. Before he knows it he's on a summer exchange visit to France in order to pull his foot out of his mouth. His near complete inability to speak French proves a bit of a handicap. I'd normally say that hilarity then ensues - but in truth it's a more subtle form of comedy that comes next. You get some amusing(and standard) fish out of water stuff but also his evolving feelings and attempts to share them. A fun pop soundtrack rounds out the package. This is the film I'd been waiting to see the whole festival without even knowing it's name. (4.5/5)

do you know where I ca buy this on DVD (in america)?
Not 100% sure if this will work - but it looks like you might be able to get it via Amazon.com in Germany. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.de/Franz%C3%B6sisch-f%C3%BCr-Anf%C3%A4nger-Fran%C3%A7ois-G%C3%B6ske/dp/B000JCF7DE
I'd imagine you'd need a region free DVD player. Of course probably good to check it's subtitled if you don't speak German. ;-)
