Rose (Juliette Binoche) is an emotional makeup artist who is hoping to get out of a bad relationship with her boyfriend, Sergio (Sergi Lopez), by leaving him in Paris and heading off to Mexico for a holiday. After losing her cell phone, Rose borrows one from Felix (Jean Reno), a somewhat stiff salesman with an interest in gourmet cooking, who is en route toMunich to attend a funeral. When both Rose and Felix find themselves grounded due to changes in flight scheduling and a transportation strike strands them at the airport, they end up sharing a room at a nearby hotel, where their contrasting personalities make the evening rough sledding for them both. As their unexpected stay wears on, will these opposites begin to attract? ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Manages to surprise and absorb the viewer in ways that your typical 'meet cute' romance never would.
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
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.
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The script is definitely mediocrity mixed with complication.
-
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
A movie so thin it borders on nonexistence.
-
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
A piffle of a romantic comedy that wastes its stars.
