Synopsis
At Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, a French beautician (Juliette Binoche) on her way to a new job in Mexico accidentally meets a French chef (Jean Reno) who has been delayed on his way to Germany from his residence in the United States. Labor strikes, bad weather, and pure luck cause the two of them to share a room overnight at the airport Hilton hotel. Their initial mutual indifference and downright hostility evolves into romance and a re-examination of their lives.

Critics' reviews
- "All the usual meet-cute tropes are trotted out -- room service hassles, bed-sharing dilemmas -- but Reno and Binoche make a fine pair and the Parisian setting somehow makes it all seem fresher."
- "A movie so thin it borders on nonexistence."
- "There's little chemistry between the stars, Juliette Binoche and Jean Reno, and even less conviction in the roles they're assigned"
- "Slender but surprisingly smart and pleasing."
- "An enjoyable getaway into retro romance"
- "An alarmingly unfunny French comedy where the two main characters are constantly yakking on a cell phone at an airport."
- "The script is definitely mediocrity mixed with complication"
