Danièle Thompson's romantic comedy is excellent fluff français, leavened with charm, wit and smart observation about the way we love now.

It's light and airy and, unlike the land-locked planes, runs the risk of nearly floating away into innocuous obscurity.

For those who have a penchant for talky subtitled romantic comedies, this one has its charms, but is probably more worth seeking out once it's on video than during its (probably short) theatrical life.

sSo pleasingly forgettable that I spent most of the movie mentally casting American actors for the inevitable remake.
50
Although far superior to recent American fare such as "Alex and Emma," the film takes actors with quirky charms and places them in a homogenized, studiolike picture. What a waste.
40
Stays resolutely grounded thanks to miscasting of Juliette Binoche and Jean Reno as the leads and a script that contrarily breaks every rule of the genre.
25
An alarmingly unfunny French comedy where the two main characters are constantly yakking on a cell phone at an airport.

Maybe viewers have not understood the English subtitles, but when all the pretense is gone and the character or work we believe that others see is not really there, can an individual find a true personality and finally show emotion to relate to another. One can hope to find a meaningful connection.
