Summary: Cute movie - but there are better ones
Review: It's entertaining, if you're able to really suspend your sense of reality. It was really hard to fall for Kevin Kline's character the way you needed to, in order to really feel the compulsion she has to stay with him. The ending was a bit strange, as though they just ran out of things to do. All in all - rent this first or buy it used, it's not worth full price. Grab Notting Hill instead.

Summary: One of the best romantic movies ever made
Review: I love this movie. It is so funny and romantic. Meg Ryan is awesome in this movie, she is so cute, you can't help just feel like your in her shoes or something. She really rocks in this movie. Kevin Kline, you fall in love with his personality. He pulls off a great French accent. Also, he is hilarious. Everytime I watch this movie, I just feel like I want to go to France. Great job, worth every penny. Get it, it's worth it.

Summary: This movie towers over others in its genre
Review: This movie has all the elements of a great romantic comedy, especially Meg Ryan. Meg rarely fails in this genre (or at all really). Meg is her usually plucky, witty, absolutely adorable self in this tale of a woman wronged by her fiance because she is too predictable and stuck in her ways. The solution? Be unpredictable and unconventional of course! And there lies the humor and fun of the movie. This journey of self-realization through reckless abandon takes her to Paris where she runs into a French criminal played by Kevin Kline. Take note I said Kevin Kline because you WON'T recognize him in the movie. If you've seen Kline in other roles like In & Out or Dave or any number of others, you will be shocked to see him play a very sexy Frenchman here. He does a fantastic job of it too. You get attached to Meg's character quickly and you can't help but to love Kline even though he plays a criminal ... which the writers want you to do. This is quite a charming tale of good girl/bad boy romance amidst some great situational humor. Add some beautiful scenery and what more could you ask for?

Summary: Ah, l'amour ... C'est merveilleux!
Review: We've seen it before (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless In Seattle) and since (You Have Mail), but Meg Ryan is indisputably The Right One for this cutesy-yet-not-too-slushy romantic comedy lark.Aviophobic bride-to-be Kate (Ryan) is enthusiastically preparing for the lavish wedding when her fiancé flies off to Paris on a medical conference ... only to 'phone-in a few days later with the startling announcement that Kate should cease wedding arrangements forthwith as ... he has fallen in love with a Frenchwoman. Disbelievingly, Kate faces her mortal fear of flying to get to Paris and shake him out of his infatuation. On the aeroplane she sits next to petty thief Luc Teyssier (Kevin Kline - Gérard Dépardieu declined the rôle). Exchanging stereotypical national dislikes, it is hate at first sight. Or is it ...? Ryan is ever-cuddly and ever-so-slightly-ditzy, whilst Kline is perfectly-accented and stubbled, oozing a pretty darn convincing Gallic charm. Kate's rebuttals by the Georges Cinq's stoic Concièrge - she puts down 100 Francs as a bribe; he simply takes it - are a treat. And so is her animated air-fighting following the theft of her luggage - "Oh man ... ma stuff, man ..." Almost as a fil rouge, Kate's wanderings through the City of Light include constantly not seeing the Eiffel Tower ... until she is on a train leaving Paris. Kate's earlier opinion of loser Luc turns via promiscuous rascal to grudging respect upon discovering that he is, in fact, a Man With A Plan, from a background in fine wine; that moment is quite poignant ... Hovering in the background is avuncular detective-sergeant Jean (Léon) Réno who is aware of Luc's family history as well as his current jewellery-smuggling, but who owes Luc a never-fully-explained life debt. It is he who actually rescues the mis-matched couple ... Anybody who says "They don't make 'em like they used to ..." should swallow those ill-chosen words as the 1990s have produced endearing romantic comedies to counter the numerous over-the-top petroleum-jelly & mayhem Action Blockbusters. French Kiss may be a trifle formulaic, but its superbly-nostalgic soundtrack - Charles Trenet's rendition of Verlaine's 'Blesse Mon Coeur' is wonderfully evocative of an autumn stroll in Paris - and the fine interaction between Ryan and Kline help make this one of the more memorable and heartwarming feel-good films of the decade.

Summary: Romance is alive and well in Paris
Review: Meg Ryan as a the faithful American fiancee to a filandering Canadian Timothy Hutton. Hutton flies to France (on business, of course), but soon falls in love with a native woman and dumps Ryan, who has already applied for Canadian citizenship out of love for him. To save her relationship with Hutton, Ryan rushes to see about things in France. On the plane she is seated next to small time French crook Kevin Kline, who plants a stolen diamond necklace on unsuspecting Ryan to avert customs officials. There are several small roles played by actors who are popular in Europe, but not known to American audiences. The story twists and turns, but in the end leaves the viewer completely satisfied. Kline even gets to sing the original French version of Bobby Darin's "Beyond The Sea". This film is a delight!***

Summary: Don't listen to the review given by amazon.
Review: Don't listen to the review above given by amazon.com..or chosen by amazon.com to represent this movie. This is a fun, light-hearted, comedy that can be watched over and over again. I enjoy this...It is one of the only "chick-flick movies" that I'd watch if I happened to surf to it on TBS or whatever. The performance by Meg Ryan is very good...as always...and Kevin Kline is also fun, although I did find his accent a little annoying at times. I really enjoy watching this movie. I guess its kind of addictive. For DVD fanatics...the disc is not packed full of special features, the sound isn't amazing, the picture quality is average (for DVDs), but the story is fun. Besides...this is a cheap DVD to own...and well worth the 15 bucks to watch it on rainy days.

Summary: I almost feel bad for liking it... almost.
Review: First off, Meg Ryan looks absolutely resplendent in almost every scene in this movie. I realize that's no way to judge cinema, but I am human and she is beautiful. As for the actual movie: It's contrived, it's cliche, and it's fabulous. There is no new ground being broken here, no fresh frontier being charted, but it takes the formula and mixes it just right. If you're here browsing for a romantic comedy, you know what you want and you're not ashamed. Go ahead and get French Kiss, you'll find just what you're looking for.

Summary: French Kiss
Review: In some ways this is your typical "girl" flic it has romance, comedy and a struggle to overcome a love obstacle. Meg Ryan's performance is cute sometimes not believable and a little overboard but I find this typical of the comedic stlye. However Kevin Kline shines as an actor in the movie. In fact you can hardly tell it is him except on a few occasions when his grin comes through the character. His character, Luc, a french thief adds a great deal to the movie. He is definetly not the kind of person you would expect to see in this kind of romantic film giving this comedy a breath of fresh air from the now overdone Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks style of romantic comedy. Well perfromed characters make this movie an enjoyable afternoon on the couch.

Summary: For a guy who hates romatic movies, I loved this one
Review: I have watched this one four times. Every time seems like the first. I really like this one. I am normally a Black Hawk Down kind of guy. However, this is one of the few chick-flicks I like. Eventhough you know Kevin Klien is a total American, he does a great job of being a French thief. And for what? It turns out he just wants to have his own winery in the French country side. This happens to be one of my dreams. This is the kind of movie I think women can get their football loving husband to watch.

Summary: Widescreen version is terrific!
Review: DVD is wonderful! Paris through the eyes of Meg and Kevin is gorgeous. But, the best part of this movie? The end credits, where Kevin sings "La Mer." Just wonderful.
