Jet Lag is funny and bright and deals with characters just damaged enough to make them comfortable.

Reviews for Jet Lag
A talky French romantic comedy that fails to trade in on the innate charisma of its two leads, Juliette Binoche and Jean Reno.
06/30/03
Top CriticThere isn't a moment you won't see coming a kilometer away.
06/27/03
Top CriticQuite entertaining, primarily because the leads are, well, grownups.
06/16/03
So painful and misguided in its conception that purple hearts should be dispensed in the lobby for anyone who toughs it out for more than fifteen minutes.
07/03/03
Rose gives as good as she gets, and one of the film's exceedingly modest pleasures is watching how the director rescues this woman from stereotype and Félix's (and our) prejudice.
06/12/03
Top CriticThis movie doesn't exactly soar to never-before-reached heights, but it gets off the ground and sure beats sitting in the airport for two hours.
06/13/03
A piffle of a romantic comedy that wastes its stars.
07/17/03
Top CriticThe airplane movie equivalent of elevator music.
07/25/03
Jet Lag is sort of a grown-up version of Before Sunrise... The difference between the two films is sort of depressing.

Top CriticJet Lag flies in as a very soft bird, but its feathers are pleasing.
07/22/03
It's a pleasure to encounter a confectionary love story in which a man and woman of age and experience discover feelings that youth, more and more, has a patent on in Hollywood.
06/11/03
Top CriticJet Lag is a time-waster that might be diversionary on a dull cross-Atlantic flight -- but only in the absence of alternatives.
06/27/03
Top CriticThere's little chemistry between the stars, Juliette Binoche and Jean Reno, and even less conviction in the roles they're assigned.
06/27/03
A standard comedy remains standard no matter how much eye shadow it's hidden under.
07/11/03
A peppy romantic trifle from France that rises above the mundane on the strength of its beautifully detailed lead performances.
06/13/03
Top CriticSeen for what it is, the film is enjoyable, though nothing sticks in the mind when the lights come up.
10/10/02
Top CriticAll 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.
08/18/03
Top CriticIt's got a subtext but not a subplot.
06/27/03
Top CriticIrresistibly enchanting and smartly sexy.
