When
Jean Met Juliette...
'Jet
Lag' (aka Decalage Horaire) is essentially a
two-character play set in an airport terminal
and a hotel room. It is one of those crafty
little conversation pieces that wriggles its way
into your good graces because of the charm
exuded by the two leads. Juliette Binoche and
Jean Reno are so enjoyable to watch on the big
screen in virtually every film they do, and here
they are pitch perfect as a highly unlikely
odd-couple that manages to connect with each
other despite a stressful first encounter and
personalities that are polar opposites. If you
are in the mood for an offbeat romantic comedy
with witty conversation aimed at adults rather
than moronic teens, then this movie will hit the
spot.
