Jet Lag is a French, romantic comedy starring Jean Reno and Juliette Binoche. The movie is in French. Since my French is not up to par, I read the English sub titles. Really must work on my language skills…

Jet Lag takes place in an airport where Rose (a beautician/masseuse) finds out her flight has been delayed due to an airport strike. She has a mishap with her cell phone (quite hilarious) and asks to borrow the cell phone of a complete stranger, Felix. Felix (who is in the restaurant business) is on his way to the funeral of the mother of one of his exes. These two meet and part and then keep running into each other throughout the airport.

Because Felix is flying first class, he is being put up at the Hilton hotel. Seeing that Rose would have to sleep in the airport overnight and feeling sorry for her, Felix offers for Rose to join him at the hotel as there would be an extra bed in the room for her. Perfect roommates they do not appear to be. And the story continues…

I found Jet Lag to be a movie worth watching. It went a little deeper into pasts and feelings, so was really more than just a comedy. I enjoyed seeing the relationship develop and the character Rose, played by Binoche, was truely likable. Once the characters layers are peeled away, it shows how there is always more to someone than just appearances. Jet Lag will have you laughing aloud at times and the ending will be a perfect way to end the evening.
