Brief synopsis of French Kiss

A woman (Meg Ryan) with a phobia about flying gets caught up with a shady French smuggler (Kevin Kline) while on a flight to Paris to retrieve her wayward boyfriend (Timothy Hutton). The charming film is director Lawrence Kasdan's first stab at the romantic comedy.

Radio Times

Probably the most lightweight of Lawrence Kasdan's movies, this is bit of a disappointment if judged in comparison with his other films.

I love this film. It has some things that don't feel right at first, Kevin Kline with a french accent(?) ...but it slowly grows on you. Meg Ryan is at her comic best. She uses her body language and vocal chords better than Chaplin and Striesand, respectively, even tho' she doesn't sing a note! But listen out for Kline finishing the soundtrack with his rendition of a Bobby Darin number and anyone who doesn't think the final scene is romantic with a capital 'R' needs hormone treatment!
