French Kiss, a romantic comedy set primarily in France, tells the story of Kate, a fastidious young lady who knows exactly what her future will be: she will marry a Toronto doctor named Charlie and live happily ever after as soon as he comes back from a business trip to Paris. Not part of her plans was her man running off with a beautiful French seductress. Determined to get him back, Kate overcomes her fear of flying and boards a flight for Paris where she is seated next to Frenchman Luc Teyssier, a crude petty thief whom she is forced to tolerate for the next few hours of the flight. But, after Luc hides a stolen necklace in her purse to get it past customs, she ends up having her purse snatched at her hotel. To retrieve the necklace, she will follow Luc through France while he in turn promises to help win her fiancé back.
The film was greeted less than enthusiastically by film critics but the movie going public loved it, making it a major financial success.
