Summary: The Greatest
Review: I wish there where ten more films like this.One of my favorites Sure its escapist but terrific entertainment.The actors are total masters of the genre and the sound track with the great Toots Theileman's harmonica playing is to die for.( I even liked that one of the songs seemed Italian more than french) A madcap adventure that has the power to lift you out of the daily crap we all have to wade through . My only criticism is that it had to end. Gimme More!!!!:)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best fear of flying scene
Review: Okay, Meg Ryan is en route to Paris to try to win back her straying fiancé, but she's got fly-a-phobia and is a wreck. Her seatmate, played by Kevin Kline, involves her in an argument (which takes up the whole flight) to keep her mind off her fears. Then he tutors her in how to get her lover back - and of course along the way the two of them end up falling in love.
Predictable from the first scene, but it doesn't detract from the joy of watching this movie one iota. Watch it with a lover.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful Movie
Review: This movie has made me laugh and cry since i was a little girl watching this with my grandmother. I would sit in her lap until 1 in the morning, metally analyzing this movie for what its worth. even through my child's mind, i appreciated this truly beautiful, carefree, and heartfelt movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ignore Tom Keogh's Editorial Review!
Review: I have always really enjoyed a good romantic comedy. I'm choosey about it. The couple must have a good chemistry. They must, for the most part, get along. Some arguing is okay, but it must be lighthearted. Neither of them should come across as wounded or broken people. They should be whole and strong individually, and even better when they are together.

"French Kiss" delivers all of that. It is one of my very favorite romantic comedies, coming in just behind "Roxanne" and, at the top of the heap, "When Harry Met Sally." Kate (Meg Ryan) is a whole person who knows what she wants, as is Luc (Kevin Kline). They share a common problem in that they both misunderstand how to best go about achieving their goals. They come together into a force to be reckoned with. Timothy Hutton and Jean Reno round out the cast with spot-on performances. Laurent Spielvogel as the concierge steals every scene he is in.

This movie has many splendid romantic moments. The first kiss that Kate and Luc share is one of the finest screen kisses I've ever seen filmed. It just makes you ache to be kissed like that. "French Kiss" also provides some wonderful comedic moments. When Kate describes for Luc a future in which he allows old resentments to fester and spends his days sitting and twitching, it makes me laugh every time. As with most films, there are some low points. I don't care much for broad comedy, so the collision with the dessert tray and the "lactose intolerance" scenes don't do much for me. But for the most part, this is a fun film well worth watching.

I regret that I can give no insights as to the quality of the DVD or the special features included therein (although the description makes it sound like the special features are a little thin). I enjoyed this film so well that I bought the widescreen edition on laserdisc many years back and have seen it only in that format.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: just shows the need to have more than one opinion!
Review: I completely disagree with the above editorial review by Keogh(and hardly because I like everything I see). Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline are both very good, both individually and together. I suggest that the strength of Ryan's performance is due in large part to her working opposite Kline, as well as to her role's calling for her to be more intelligent and sarcastic than when she's opposite Hanks. NOT being a speaker of French, I found Kline's accent a pleasing asset rather than annoying. My wife and I agree that this is one of the better modern romantic comedies.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: The Best Movie to take place in France
Review: I saw this movie for the first time on a trip, and I have to say it was a greawt movie, It has the same amount of Comedy as it has Romance. There is never a boring moment in this movie, and I recomend it to any male or female in the mood to laugh and Romance.
