Customer Reviews

Everyone gets what he or she wants.

Kate (Meg Ryan) and Charlie (Timothy Hutton) are engaged and even have a house in mind. However, Charlie has to go to a medical convention in Paris. Kate is afraid of flying, so she stays home in her newly adopted country, Canada; that is, until Charlie finds a French goddess (Susan Anbeh) and calls the whole thing off. Kate won’t stand for this and gets up the courage to fly. On her way, she meets an obnoxious Frenchman, Luc Teyssier (Kevin Kline). Little does she realize that their paths will cross again and again. As in the movie "Boys' Night Out” (1962) with Kim Novak, Kate, Charlie, and Luc only know what they are supposed to want in life. They pursue their desires until they discover that they want something different from what they were initially intended to want. That is a lot of wants. Lots of action, one-liners, and great music (French Kiss: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). I notice that all the time Kate is in Paris, she just misses seeing the Eiffel Tower by a few seconds. She does find an Eiffel Tower souvenir that reminds her of Luc. Everyone is perfect for the part. I would almost think that Kevin Kline was French. Laurent Spielvogel plays the Concierge and has the attitude that Johnny Carson always says the French have. Even Jean Reno (birth location: Casablanca, Morocco) seems exceedingly French.
