Review of French Kiss (1995) by Halimali H — 07 Apr 2010

Kate (Meg Ryan) and her fiance Charlie (Timothy Hutton) are happy couples. One day her fiance flies to Paris and there falls for a French woman. Charlie calls Kate and tells her that he found his true love. Kate rejects surrender and flies to Paris to win him back. In her trip she meets Luc (Kevin Kline) a thief who hides a stolen necklace in her bag so he can sell it to buy the land he wants to produce wine. Luc promises Kate to help her to win her finace back as he is expert in affairs. Kate gets the chance to get Charlie back but then feels that she does not love him any more!! She falls in love with Luc.

This is not the full story of French Kiss but a breif. What I liked most about the movie was Meg Ryan's light comic performance and her chemistry with Kevin Kline. I think they were really cool together and shared good screen presence. The story is a typical romance comedy with many light moments. Music was good and suitable for the genre. There were few nicely shot scenes but overall I dont think the cinematography took any full advantage of the nice locations.

French Kiss makes a good choice to watch on a heavy busy day where you need to relax have some laugh and enjoy the nonesense romance.
