French Kiss is an American-made 1995 romantic comedy film set primarily in France. The film was greeted less than enthusiastically by film critics but the movie going public made it a major financial success.
French Kiss tells the story of Kate (Meg Ryan), a fastidious young lady who knows exactly what her future will be: she will marry a Toronto doctor named Charlie (Timothy Hutton) and live happily ever after as soon as he comes back from a business trip to Paris. Not part of her plans was her man running off with a beautiful French seductress. Determined to get him back, Kate overcomes her fear of flying and boards a flight for Paris where she is seated next to Frenchman Luc Teyssier (Kevin Kline), a crude petty thief whom she is forced to tolerate for the next few hours of the flight. But, after Luc hides a stolen necklace in her purse to get it past customs, she ends up having her purse snatched at her hotel. To retrieve the necklace, she will follow Luc through France while he in turn promises to help win her fiancé back.
Noted on the film's soundtrack are Van Morrison's "Someone Like You" and in French, Charles Trenet's "La Mer."
