French Kiss (1995), directed by Lawrence Kasdan, is a romantic comedy that blends humor, charm, and a dash of adventure with the beautiful backdrop of France. The film stars Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline in a story about love, self-discovery, and second chances.

The film centers on Kate (Meg Ryan), a straight-laced, slightly neurotic woman from the United States who is heartbroken when her fiancé, Charlie (Timothy Hutton), leaves her to pursue a new life with another woman in France. Determined to win him back, Kate travels to France, where her life takes an unexpected turn. Once there, she encounters a Frenchman named Luc (Kevin Kline), a charming and roguish thief who has his own agenda. Luc is attempting to smuggle a valuable diamond out of the country, and through a series of misadventures, he ends up helping Kate on her journey to find Charlie.

As the two travel across France, their interactions evolve from antagonism to a growing, unexpected romance. Luc’s carefree and adventurous attitude contrasts sharply with Kate’s more cautious and reserved nature, and their chemistry sparks in a series of funny and tender moments. Along the way, Kate learns to let go of her insecurities and opens her heart to the possibility of love with someone unexpected.
