Broken English is a story about a woman named Nora Wilder (played by Parker Posey). She is living in Manhattan and trying to find love. When thing she can't find the love she is looking for she, she can't stand it, so her friend Audrey (played by Drea de Matteo) tells her to stop looking for marriage in the first man she meets and just go out and have a good time. So trying out her friends advice. She goes to a co-workers party and there she meets Julien (played by Melvil Poupaud), who is in Manhattan to find his ex-girl, who is in Manhattan shooting a movie and he tried to win her back but failed. At first Nora tries just shrugs him off and then eventually after talking till most of the night she begin to like him. After a couple of days of hitting it off and spending more and more time together Julien tells Nora that he is heading back to him home in France. So now Nora Wilder is back at step one.

Let me start off by say that Parker Posey is one of my favorite actresses that's still working today. She great she very funny in the hilarious movies like A Mighty Wind, Best In Show and For Your Consideration. Then she is also good at those dramatic roles like this movie Broken English.

I personally didn't care for the movie that much but I did like Parker Posey's performance in this movie. I thought she was really good in this. I just thought it was to slow in the beginning and nothing was interesting about the plot. Only in till Nora meets Julien is when the movie picks up the slack and gets to becoming a decent movie.

Overall I'm not recommending this movie I did like the performance by Parker Posey, its just that the first half of the movie left me bored and when it did start to get good I wasn't caring anymore. I would say that Broken English is a Skip.
