French Kiss starring Meg Ryan,
Kevin Kline, Timothy Hutton, Jean
Reno, François Cluzet
Great Service
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 for ces 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
Personal Review: French Kiss starring Meg Ryan, Kevin Kline,
Timothy Hutton, Jean Reno, François Cluzet
There are a lot of forgettable love stories out there, but this somewhat
obscure gem is a keeper that you're likely to be quoting lines from years
after seeing it. I never knew the always adorable Meg Ryan had such a
flair for comedy before I saw this. With Kevin Kline as co-star, you can
already imagine you're in for a few laughs, and the movie doesn't
disappoint on that score. Sure, the plot is a little unrealistic (what romantic
comedy has a realistic plot?) but the wonderful French scenery and often
hilarious exchanges between Ryan and Kline combined with a happily-
ever-after ending makes this uplifting fairy tale a hit with me.
