Manages to surprise and absorb the viewer in ways that your typical 'meet cute' romance never would.

All the usual meet-cute tropes are trotted out -- room service hassles, bed-sharing dilemmas -- but Reno and Binoche make a fine pair and the Parisian setting somehow makes it all seem fresher.

The script is definitely mediocrity mixed with complication.

A piffle of a romantic comedy that wastes its stars.

A stagy romantic comedy that lacks an energetic story but is rescued by the talents of its two stars.

A lightweight but charming romance.

January 15, 2004

Charming in its predictability, yet not without its pleasures. The leads share a very casual chemistry, an odd couple that refreshingly isn't at odds with each other.

Good acting makes us momentarily forget that we get enough of this stuff right here at home without having to import it for some reason.

This modest soufflé of a romance rests securely on [Reno and Binoche's] shoulders.

If Jet Lag were showing on an airplane, I'd jump out the window and take my chances with gravity.

In the realm of predictable rom-coms, this one has enough charm and humor to divert us for an hour and a half.

The idea of gruff, scruffy Reno and the elegant- as-ever Binoche getting together is far too ridiculous to swallow even for a minute.

What makes Jet Lag almost work is the unexpected chemistry between the ethereal Binoche and the gravelly Reno.

...even at a running time of only 91-minutes, the film often feels substantially longer.

A romantic comedy that's as stale as yesterday's croissant.

Audience Reviews for Jet Lag

Juliette Binoche and Jean Reno both shine in this cute film: Jet Lag.

Juliette is a film star meets a fascinating man while both being stranded overnight at an airport. It is a lovely foreign film worth seeing.
