    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • 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."

    Lovely jokes in the cinematography
    I love this film. The scene in which Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline first hop in the stolen car in Paris tickles me every time. While she is berating him for involving her in his (mis)adventures, she turns to look at him and misses what would be a wonderful tour of Paris as all the major landmarks of Paris go by on the passenger side of the car. Love the director's sense of humor. As for Kline's French accent, I have studied in France and have a good ear (if I do say so myself), and was very impressed with Kline's regional accent ("way", for example, rather than "we" for 'oui'). As for it being a pat romantic comedy, well, of course - suppose it had been Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, would anybody have complained?
