Product Description
From Amazon.com
Meg Ryan emerges bloodied but unbowed from this botched comedy by Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill). Ryan plays a woman whose fiancé (Timothy Hutton) leaves her for a Parisian beauty. She jets over to the City of Lights to fight for her man, but an incapacitating fear of flying forces her to seek help from a fellow passenger, a French thief played by Kevin Kline, who then tutors her in the ways of getting her beau back. Kasdan seems incapable of pacing the story, let alone getting a firm grip on its comic tone and intentions. The production sputters and regroups and stalls repeatedly, forcing Ryan, particularly, to find the boundaries of her own screwball performance. --Tom Keogh

Best fear of flying scene,
By
Ce commentaire est de: French Kiss (Widescreen) (DVD)
Okay, Meg Ryan is en route to Paris to try to win back her straying fiancé, but she's got fly-a-phobia and is a wreck. Her seatmate, played by Kevin Kline, involves her in an argument (which takes up the whole flight) to keep her mind off her fears. Then he tutors her in how to get her lover back - and of course along the way the two of them end up falling in love.Predictable from the first scene, but it doesn't detract from the joy of watching this movie one iota. Watch it with a lover.

Romace is alive and well in Paris,

Ce commentaire est de: French Kiss (Widescreen) (DVD)
Meg Ryan as a the faithful American fiancee to a filandering Canadian Timothy Hutton. Hutton flies to France (on business, of course), but soon falls in love with a native woman and dumps Ryan, who has already applied for Canadian citizenship out of love for him. To save her relationship with Hutton, Ryan rushes to see about things in France. On the plane she is seated next to small time French crook Kevin Kline, who plants a stolen diamond necklace on unsuspecting Ryan to avert customs officials. There are several small roles played by actors who are popular in Europe, but not known to American audiences. The story twists and turns, but in the end leaves the viewer completely satisfied. Kline even gets to sing the original French version of Bobby Darin's "Beyond The Sea". This film is a delight!*****

French Kiss,

Ce commentaire est de: French Kiss (Widescreen) (DVD)
In some ways this is your typical "girl" flic it has romance, comedy and a struggle to overcome a love obstacle. Meg Ryan's performance is cute sometimes not believable and a little overboard but I find this typical of the comedic stlye. However Kevin Kline shines as an actor in the movie. In fact you can hardly tell it is him except on a few occasions when his grin comes through the character. His character, Luc, a french thief adds a great deal to the movie. He is definetly not the kind of person you would expect to see in this kind of romantic film giving this comedy a breath of fresh air from the now overdone Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks style of romantic comedy. Well perfromed characters make this movie an enjoyable afternoon on the couch.
