FRENCH KISS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK

Advantages: -- light hearted entertainment...
Disadvantages: -- predictable plot...

When her fiancé Charlie [Timothy Hutton] telephones Kate [Meg Ryan] from a Paris business trip to tell her he's fallen in love with someone else, Kate decides to track Charlie down to win him back - despite her fear of flying. On the flight to Paris Kate is seated next to a Frenchman, Luc [Kevin Kline]. Luc is a petty thief. Kate immediately dislikes him because of his apparent arrogant attitude. He's not instantly fond of her either because she's ...
...that Kate would be a good 'cover' to help him smuggle some stolen jewellery through Paris customs and while she's dozing during the flight, he hides an expensive necklace in her bag. Now he has to follow her through customs in order to get his [stolen!] property back - which proves to be a little more difficult than he had expected… While Kate initially doesn’t want anything to do with Luc, he does offer her a ride into the city – she doesn’t realise ...

Meg Ryan is so Damn CUTE

Advantages: Very funny and CUTE!
Disadvantages: Not highly original

...DVDs along with him - French Kiss. I am not a great watcher of films - I find it hard to sit still for long enough and I do get distracted if the film doesn't interest me, and I end up doing something else like reading and rating on Ciao! instead. But this film held my interest from start to finish. Described as a "Romantic Comedy", it is the story of Kate (Meg Ryan) who is a little "straight laced" and, together with her fiancée, Charlie (Timothy ...
...Cline does a pretty good French accent in my opinion - and plays his part very well indeed. He starts off as a bit of a greasy, scruffy character, but his character gradually changes throughout the film. I just wish he didn't have such a huge moustache though, as they were some kissing scenes where I just felt sick - who on earth would want to kiss that great hairy thing!! LOL!! The storyline of this film is nothing new. To be honest, we've all ...

"452 cheeses in France"

Advantages: Meg Ryan, France is beutifully shot, okay storyline
Disadvantages: Too much fake french, not overly funny or romantic

French Kiss, released in 1995, tells the story of Kate, a soon-to-be-ex-American Canadian played by Meg Ryan. Her fiancée (Charlie) flew to France and fell in love with another woman, while Kate who's terrified to fly, stayed home planning their future. Determined to win back her man, Kate overcomes her fear and flies to France. On the way she happens to meet a not-so-smooth criminal Frenchman by the name of Luc (Not Luke!), played by Kevin Kline. ...
...from likable. With his fake French accent and desperate need for a shave, you'll wonder what Kate sees in him at all, and why doesn't she suspect him of being sleazy slightly earlier! Oh the French…. Okay I should state that I have nothing against the French, and I love France, have visited several times and loved every second of it, and have a basic grasp of the language. But in this movie, the French drove me crazy. Maybe with a title like 'French ...

Come here luv, and give us a French Kiss

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 their ...
...in love with a beautiful French woman, and refuses to return. Kate, determined to get him back, follows him to the French capital - but she gets more than she bargained for when she meets a rather strange French man called Luc (Kevin Kline). Ok - that's all I'm gonna tell you about the plot, because any more and I think you'd all be furious that I spoilt it for you. The film was made in 1995, but I'm sure it will never age - I know some films can ...

Romantic comedy amid lovely scenery

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

...plot. Personally I liked Klein's French accent and thought he looked like a rather greasy character at first. His gradual change and enlightenment was good to watch & quite believable in the way he played it. Meg was as usual at her best with facial expressions that tell their tale without the need for dialogue at times. Together this unlikely pair follow her ex-fiance through France & some beautiful scenery while dodging thieves & cops, while ...

Snogging, French Style...

Advantages: Great romantic comedy, some genuinely hilarious moments
Disadvantages: Predictable plot, quite cheesy

...comedies would not enjoy them. French Kiss definitely doesn't fall into this category, so if slushiness puts you off, you'll still like this. (Even my sister would like it! :-P) The plot basically revolves around an aerophobic (is that the correct word for those with a fear of flying?) American - soon to be Canadian woman (Meg Ryan, playing a rather more feisty character than I've usually seen her play) actually facing her fear of flying to go over ...
...while on a trip there. On the way she meets a Frenchman (played pretty convincingly by Kevin Kline - you'd never guess it was him), and they strike up an unlikely (and for the most part unwilling) partnership. No surprises here, she ends up falling in love with him - but there are plenty of twists and turns along the way. From the very first scene - where Ryan is in a "conquer your fear of flying" school - you know you're in for a ride with plenty ...

IS LOVE AN OBSESSION

Advantages: FUNNY MOVIE
Disadvantages: -

...the hotel lobby, a fake French speaking Luc listens to her troubles and begins to try and help her get her man back… under false pretences of course. 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 fake ...

Very underrated.

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 uses ...
