Why watch this?
Kevin Kline is quietly one of my favorite actors. Here, he's so
very annoyingly French.
Plot Summary:
Kate is a woman who travels to France to confront her fiancé
after he unexpectedly ends their engagement. On the plane, she
meets Luc, a French thief who uses her to smuggle a stolen
necklace into the country. As the mismatched pair travels across
France in pursuit of Kate's ex-fiancé, their initial antagonism
gives way to a growing attraction.

Dad's Preview:
For a time Meg Ryan was the "it" gal. Here, she plays a jilted
American girl who heads to France to win back her fiancé. On the plane she sits next to an
obnoxious French fellow who latches onto her, offering to help her
win back her man. Predictably, the scoundrel has other motives, using the girl for
his own ends. There's a small mystery going on in this little comedy, and I
really love the (eventual) chemistry between the Frenchy Kline and
the whiny American Ryan. |
