French Kiss (DVD) > Reviews

Advantages: Funny, wonderful acting, a film to watch over and over again
Disadvantages: Couple of rude bits (Oh la la!)

...any of those questions then French Kiss is the film for you! Set in 20th Century Europe, the plot crosses the channel from England to France as the characters get dragged into a situation they never deemed possible. I don't want to give too much away, because that would just spoil it, so I'll just tell you how it starts: There's a nice happy family - a Mum, Dad, daughters and a son. This son is engaged to Kate (Meg Ryan). In the build-up to ... Read review

Advantages: A lighthearted romantic comedy that has you smiling
Disadvantages: None

Advantages: FUNNY MOVIE
Disadvantages: -

This is a really funny movie dealing with relationship sabotage and of course Kevin Kline’s role adds a little twisty bit to the movie. Of course… Kate decides that she’s no longer in love with Charlie after humiliating herself to great extremes and falls in love with her ... Read review

Advantages: Witty and amusing. Kevin Kline delivers brilliant performance
Disadvantages: It's a rom-com, so fairly predictable...

...of Kevin Kline, playing a French thief and conman, provides so much entertainment. Meg Ryan is her usual slightly conservative and extremely neurotic self who is forced to travel to France, despite a fear of flying, in order to win back her boyfriend who has found new love in a young French model. Completely unequipped for her journey, she reluctantly accepts the help of Kevin Kline, who's pretty much the polar opposite to Meg Ryan. Kline then ... Read review
