Synopsis

When Kate's fiancé calls from Paris to tell her he's in love with another woman, Kate determines to do anything to get him back. She even overcomes her fear of flying so she can chase him down in the romantic city of lights. Then, while airborne, the panicky Kate meets Luc, a somewhat sleazy character who just happens to be a thief -- and who secretly plants a stolen possession in her bag. Luc intends to retrieve the loot when they land; unfortunately a conman grabs the bag first, thwarting Luc's well-laid plans. Soon he and Kate are frantically scouring the beautiful French countryside in hopes of getting back her precious carry-on. The romantic situation hardly goes smoothly, either: Kate continues her obsession with ex-fiancé Charlie, while Charlie's new girlfriend takes a liking to Luc... who unexpectantly falls in love with the broken-hearted Kate.

Critics' reviews

"A picture that isn't unusually funny or original but that has expert actors, smooth direction and ravishing French locales"

Michael Wilmington: Los Angeles Times
"The caper isn't as passionate as the title suggests—in fact, it's facile—but Ryan and Kevin Kline, as her attractive opposite, are irresistible together"

Rita Kempley: The Washington Post
"French Kiss tries to be a glass of pink champagne, but some of the fizz has gone out of the bottle"

Peter Rainer: Los Angeles Times
"The delicate air of romance that often makes this sort of film worthwhile is absent"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"It's got the settings, but it has little magic, less charm and almost no chemistry between Meg Ryan's heartsick American innocent and Kevin Kline's shady Frenchman"

Jay Carr: Boston Globe
