Adam Brooks' script has the somewhat loony premise that whilst working in Paris, fiancé Timothy Hutton falls for another woman and dumps his long term girlfriend Meg Ryan - rather than be disgusted and angry, she flies out there desperately to try to win him back. If you can get over that, she runs into louche Frenchman Kevin Kline (in good restrained mode) who uses her for a little grapevine and necklace smuggling. But the cops (Jean Reno) and petty criminals (Francois Cluzet) get involved.
In the version we watched there were no French subtitles - it was fun trying to work out what the missing passages were on about.
Entertaining and different in that the leads aren't interested in each other at all romantically until the film gets well underway.
Edited by Joe Hutshing with Mark Livolsi assiting.
