Movie Reviews of Jet Lag
Movie Review: Jean Reno and Juliette Binoche are great as always!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a mixture of American and French Cinema. It takes the camera angles and the basic storyline of American movies, but shows real people and much more conversation which are usual in French movies.What makes the movie are Juliet Binoche, which looks great without meakup (in the beginning of the movie she looks almost American)and Jean Reno is great as in all his movies.
All in all it is a fun and interesting movie to watch.
Movie Review: Good piece for french movies history
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good title that didn't need many action, many characters or a lot of budget to keep your eyes open all story long.
I found it interesting since is the history of two individuals that had the chance to meet each other one good day in an unfurtunate day for both of them. The rest of the story is good enough that I recomend you to see the end
Movie Review: Delightful repasts in a storm.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a French movie, but modern French - as in French Kiss- with delightful acting, bright, well developed dialogue, and a plot which keeps you hoping the whole time and doesn't disappoint. The recipes...Tastiness and testiness with a just the right touch of international humor.
Send this to someone you wish you'd spent a layover with...
Movie Review: Jet Lag
Summary: 4 Stars
Intelligent,sensual, no violence. Of course, not a typical Hollywood big $ production.Movie Review: Jet Lag is a big yawn.
Summary: 3 Stars
Jet Lag (Décalage Horaire) is a yawn, a big 80-minute yawn, to be exact. I always wonder what attracts gifted French actors like Gérard Depardieu, Daniel Auteuil, and Juliette Binoche to the genre of light romantic comedy, of which Jet Lag is a typical example. Directed by Danièle Thompson (La Buche; Avenue Montaigne), Jet Lag stars Juliette Binoche and Jean Reno (The Professional). After dropping her cell phone into a toilet at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, elegant beautician Rose (Binoche) asks scruffy French chef Félix (Reno) if she can borrow his phone, and soon they are sharing a room together at the airport Hilton, where they spend most of their time breaking down each other's defenses before falling into Light-Romantic-Comedy-Love together, the kind of love which never quite seems quite real. (When it comes to love, the film, it seems, strives to be a Hollywood movie, only in French. How do you say "predictable" in French?) Whereas Félix is hoping to reconcile with his estranged ex-wife, Rose is running away from an abusive relationship. She has all the looks and he has all the money. I'm a huge Juliette Binoche fan, and her performance will undoubtedly save Jet Lag from obscurity. In fact, Binoche carries the film with her performance as Rose. When she claims to be a Nobel Prize winner in beauty, I believe her. As Rose drops her emotional baggage, she simultaneously wears less makeup. That was a nice touch. Félix claims he has earned a fortune selling frozen foods to Americans. I liked the second half of the highly-polished film better than the first, and although it has many insightful and charming moments, for 80 minutes Jet Lag just taxis down the runway and never really takes off.
