Movies with Foreign Exchange Students?

Anyone know any good films about a foreign exchange student? I've been actively googling for the past little while and looking on netflix with nothing to show for it. I only ask as I'm trying to get started writing a romantic comedy that has a french foreign exchange student as the lead, so anything close to that would be super helpful.

Thanks!
 
There is (or was) a series on WB, Aliens in America... or something like that. I never watched it, but did find the commercials funny as Hell. A Middle Eastern exchange student comes here to live and study, and I can only assume that much of it is based around stereotypes. The one commercial shows him going to the Hardware store for his host family to buy fertilizer and other odds and ends, which of course leads the clerk to assume the kid is a terrorist building a bomb.

Oh, I can't forget to add Sixteen Candles. "Hello, my name is Long Duck Dong".
