    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.

    El inicio de Décalage Horaire (2002), es una larga secuencia que muestra la tumultuosa experiencia de recorrer los pasillos del aeropuerto Charles de Gaulle, de Paris, de la mano de dos grandes estrellas del cine francés, la guapa Juliette Binoche y el actor de ojos saltones Jean...( read more) Reno.

    Cada uno, por separado, sufren los retrasos y ajetreos de uno de los aeropuertos con más tráfico en Europa. Mientras, en la mente del espectador, pasa la pregunta de sí la dupla romántica Binoche/Reno funcionará en esta comedia romántica. En este debut del veterano guionista Daniele Thompson (La Reina Margot), en general, funciona la fórmula de la pareja dispareja romántica, pero también es verdad que hay momentos en que Thompson no sabe mucho que hacer con Binoche y Reno, en una trama donde no es gran cosa lo que sucede.

    No es mucho el ingenio que Thompson presume en su primer largometraje. Por alguna razón, deja pasar muchas oportunidades en los que se pudieron dar momentos verdaderamente humorísticos (el teléfono que se va por el retrete). Hay una escena en la que uno no sabe si reír o sentirse mal: en un momento de furia, Félix deja caer un salero en el recipiente en que Rose ha preparado una vinagreta, y ella acaba con el rostro cubierto del aderezo. También pudo haber aprovechado más la comicidad que surge de los imprevistos y malos ratos que las aerolíneas hacen pasar a sus clientes.

    Above average romantic comedy. The scenes in the hotel room are quite good, but the rest is pretty forgettable.

    It's ok, funny at times but not really my thing. Jean Reno is in it though ;)

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The script is definitely mediocrity mixed with complication. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Jet Lag is sort of a grown-up version of Before Sunrise... The difference between the two films is sort of depressing. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

There isn't a moment you won't see coming a kilometer away. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

This is the kind of movie that they show on planes -- white noise that lulls you to sleep. full review

Nick Schager, Filmcritic.com

An otherwise predictable romance turned into something pleasantly diverting full review
