Rather wonderful to sit through. It's fluff with flavor. And a cell phone. Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

It's a pleasure to encounter a confectionary love story in which a man and woman of age and experience discover feelings that youth, more and more, has a patent on in Hollywood.Read the full review

Washington Post | Stephen HunterAdd Critic to Favorites

Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

In Jet Lag, Jean Reno is pressed into leading-man duty, with depressingly mediocre results.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

This is the kind of movie that they show on planes -- white noise that lulls you to sleep.Read the full review
