    • Trivia
      Kevin Kline had a professor to coach him with the French to speak it as a Frenchman. He studied French during his Jr. High/High school years and a year in college. He didn't learn to speak it until he went to Alliance Française in New York.
    • Goofs
      Trains from Paris to Cannes do not go past the Eiffel Tower.
    • Quotes

      Kate: Happy, smile. Sad, frown. Use the corresponding face with the corresponding emotion. But no. You want this mysterious...

      Luc: Non. No no no. It is not me who wants it. I don't want it.

      Kate: Well what do you want?

      Luc: I want you... I want you...

      Kate: You want me...

      Luc: I want you... to... make Charlie suffer. To make him feel like even though you are right there in front of him, he can't have you.

      [he realizes then that he is talking about himself]

    • Crazy credits
      Near the beginning of the credits, we hear the voices of Kate and Luc. They talk, and then he sings the song "La Mer."

    Funny, charming, educational
    To begin with, Meg Ryan's fear of flying and the procedures she goes through to deal with it are cute. And the relationship with Meg and Timothy Hutton is entirely believable.

    Once she is on the plane, going to Paris, Kevin Kline appears and introduces himself and distracts her from the takeoff. Kevin Kline really proves himself in this movie, or at least shows how good he is at accents. I was a French major in college and have been to Paris and seen much of France. His mannerisms are right on.

    The things that happen once they are in Paris are 1) funny and 2) move the story along. The train trip that they have to take is another enjoyable section. And Meg learns that she really likes the cheese!

    Once she sees the vineyard and begins to learn more about Kevin Kline's character, the story gets under way nicely. All in all, it's a very enjoyable time.
