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

Top Critic

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.

Top Critic

A movie so thin it borders on nonexistence.

Top Critic

A piffle of a romantic comedy that wastes its stars.

Robert Denerstein

Denver Rocky Mountain News

Top Critic

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

Top Critic

A lightweight but charming romance.

Mark Robison

Reno Gazette-Journal

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.

Flipside Movie Emporium

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.

Orlando Weekly

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.

Planet Sick-Boy

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.

Deseret News, Salt Lake City

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

Salt Lake Tribune

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

Reel Film Reviews

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