    Danièle Thompson's romantic comedy is excellent fluff français, leavened with charm, wit and smart observation about the way we love now.
  2. 60
    A breezy romantic comedy in which opposites attract against all the reasonable odds, this slight but thoroughly charming film benefits immeasurably from the assured performances of leads Juliette Binoche and Jean Reno.
  3. 38
    There are frothy romantic comedies and then there is Jet Lag, a movie so thin it borders on nonexistence.

    A romantic comedy for those into travel. Sometimes one has to get on a plane to get grounded. Simple and elegant, a light but splendid little love story. I have to go all the way back to My Man Godfrey to recall a movie of the genre as lean and direct. However, the cell phone as the principal prop evidently never needs recharging, and is as improbable as a John Wayne six-gun that shoots into next week without reloading. Expand
