- Who'll love it
- One for romantics and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Liked Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy or Is This Thing On?? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 31 min.

- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
At Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, a beautician on her way to a new job in Mexico accidentally meets a cook who is on his way back from America. Labor strikes, bad weather, and pure luck cause the two of them to share a room overnight at the airport Hilton hotel. Will their initial mutual indifference and downright hostility turn into a one night stand or perhaps something more?
