What happens
French Kiss is a 1995 romantic comedy film directed by Lawrence Kasdan and starring Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. Written by Adam Brooks, it follows a woman who travels to France to confront her unfaithful fiancé but becomes entangled with a charming criminal seated beside her on a flight, who uses her to smuggle a stolen diamond necklace. The cast also includes Timothy Hutton, Jean Reno, François Cluzet, Susan Anbeh, and Marie-Christine Adam. French Kiss was filmed on location in Paris, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur région of southeastern France, and Cannes. The film was released by 20th Century Fox in the United States and by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment in other territories on May 5, 1995, and received mixed critical reviews, with praise directed toward the performances of Ryan and Kline and the film's romantic-comedy charm, while critics were divided over its emotional depth and narrative effectiveness. The film was a commercial success, grossing approximately $102 million worldwide, driven largely by its international performance, against a $40 million production budget. For their performance, Ryan and Kline both received nominations for the 1996 American Comedy Awards. The film later inspired remakes, including the 1998 Hindi film Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha and the 2004 Malayalam film Vettam, and was the final film shot by cinematographer Owen Roizman before his death in 2023.
