Jet Lag Movie Review 2002

Lightweight romance finds beautician Rose (Binoche) stuck at Charles de Gaulle airport thanks to an unexpected strike. She is heading on a solo holiday away from her abusive boyfriend Sergio (Lopez). Also stuck is Felix (Reno), a former chef turned frozen-food businessman on his way to Munich. Rose loses her cell phone and asks to borrow Felix's. They wind up sharing the last available room in an airport hotel and compare lives. Felix cooks dinner for Rose, they argue, leave, get together again--it's creaky but watchable because of the two leads. French with subtitles.
