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.

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

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

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

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

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

JET LAG doesn't have too many laughs, but does have two watchable actors?
