OK... I think you are a troll. If you are not a troll, you are very paranoid and illogical.
(1) It was a [i]movie[/i] 
(2) In the movie, the teens went on an unaccompanied trip -- and OP is talking about a [i]family[/i] trip with at least one parent present. Nowhere near the same thing, nowhere near the same target on OP's daughters
(3) In the movie, the two teens knew next to nothing about the people they were going to stay with, and the whole setup was very questionable -- presumably the OP has made some more concrete, sensible plans for her family trip
(4) We are talking about a trip to [i]France[/i], where tons of people live, work, or travel all the time -- mostly safely with horror stories (true ones not movies) being the exception not the rule
(5) The claims back in 2011 that the movie was based on a true story were not substantiated in court and the guy who claimed that was convicted of fraud
(6) The US Department of State, which is a far more credible source than a Hollywood action thriller, has exactly [i]zero[/i] current travel warnings or travel alerts relating to France

OP, ignore the troll or paranoid poster and enjoy your trip. As others have stated, I would check a few bags and travel with lighter/smaller carry on luggage. There's never enough room in the overhead bins, and you almost always end up wanting to pack more than you initially thought you would anyway. Plus, extra space in luggage means space for souvenirs.
