Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Kate and Charlie have the perfect life planned out: buying a house, marriage, kids, the whole works. Kate's fear of flying keeps her in Canada while Charlie goes to Paris for a medical convention. While there Charlie is smitten by the lovely Juliette. He calls off his wedding to Kate and she nervously boards a plane to get him back. She ends up sitting next to the petty French thief Luc Teyssier. He hides a stolen necklace and smuggled grapevine in her bag to get it through customs. Her bag is stolen, the necklace apparently lost, and Kate and Luc head to Cannes--Luc to find the necklace and Kate to get Charlie back. Along the way, Kate and Luc begin to have feelings for each other, which change the course of their lives. Written by poco loco |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Kevin Kline had a professor to coach him with the French to speak it as a Frenchman. He studied French during his Jr. High/High school years and a year in college. He didn't learn to speak it until he went to Alliance Française in New York. See more » |
| Goofs | When Kate first met Bob (the "Eurotrash in an Armani suit" thief) at the George V Hotel, he spoke perfect English. When she met him again at his apartment when Luc was helping her get her things back, it seemed as if he spoke no English. Luc was used as a translator during the entire scene. See more » |

| Crazy Credits | Near the beginning of the credits, we hear the voices of Kate and Luc. They talk, and then he sings the song "La Mer." See more » |
| Quotes |
Kate:
Happy, smile. Sad, frown. Use the corresponding face with the corresponding emotion. But no. You want this mysterious... Luc: Non. No no no. It is not me who wants it. I don't want it. Kate: Well what do you want? Luc: I want you... I want you... Kate: You want me... Luc: I want you... to... make Charlie suffer. To make him feel like even though you are right there in front of him, he can't have you. [he realizes then that he is talking about himself] See more » |
