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.

  • Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

    A piffle of a romantic comedy that wastes its stars.

  • Bill Muller, Arizona Republic

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

    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.
