Title: Where's Depardieu when you need him?
Review: Meg Ryan plays her standard role as marvelously as ever and singlehandedly earns those 2 stars, with an honorable mention to Jean Reno as the French cop. Everything and everyone else totally lacks credibility -- plot, development, dialogue. Granted that Hollywood movies demand a suspension of disbelief, but this is ridiculous. What's more, to a person who does speak French, almost every scene in France is destroyed by the phony and fractured French of the supposedly native French characters (except Anbeh who performs creditably most of the time as Juliette, and of course the few truly French members of the cast).
