Advantages: Funny, Great storyline, can be watched again and again
Disadvantages: unsuitable for youngsters - sex scenes!, If you don't like the French accent, you could get a bit annoyed
Do you like comedy? Do you like Romance? Do you like the French? If you answered yes to any of those questions - well, maybe not the last one, but anyway - French Kiss is the film for you!
Set in 20th Century Europe, the plot crosses the channel from England to France as the characters get dragged into a situation they never deemed possible. I don't want to give too much away, because that would just spoil it, so I'll just tell you how it starts:
There's a nice happy family - a Mum, Dad, daughters and a son. This son is engaged to Kate (Meg Ryan). In the build-up to their wedding, Kate's fiancée has to go on a business trip to Paris. Soon he has fallen in love with a beautiful French woman, and refuses to return. Kate, determined to get him back, follows him to the French capital - but she gets more than she bargained for when she meets a rather strange French man called Luc (Kevin Kline).
This wonderful film, made in 1995 will never age. It combines hilarity with a beautiful but unexpected romance - but that's all I'm willing to say about content - I really don't want to spoil it!
As for did I enjoy it? Yes - as you have probably already guessed, I thought it was wonderful! Lasting about 1 and 3/4 hours, every minute was entrancing.
Kevin Kline excels himself as he delights us with his French accent. A wonderful lead, he creates magic onscreen with co-star Meg Ryan to give an amazing film!
The DVD cost me £19.99, for nearly 2 hours of sensational acting - it's well worth it!
The film is rated 15, because it has a couple of sex scenes - though nothing too explicit is shown. Swearing is also apparent, though not frequent.
I recommend this film to all those of you who long to see a good film - I think you'll really enjoy it!

- 27/06/03 "The plot crosses the channel from England to France"??? What's that supposed to mean? Meg Ryan's character comes from Canada, I'm sure. England isn't mentioned at all in the movie-do some better research.
Apart from that this review was short and sweet. Well done. Good luck with future reviews, I look forward to reading them.
