French Kiss (1995)

In "French Kiss," Meg Ryan plays another cutesy, unlucky in love woman who must learn that happiness and life cannot be built upon the approval and existence of a man. She realizes this while roaming around France with a con artist lug (Kevin Kline) who constantly lies to her. She then cashes in her life savings and focuses her entire happiness and life around Kline's borderline criminal/dreamer. Why? Becuase women in romcom films never learn that that first lesson is a lie. Directed by Lawrence Kasdan, this folly makes "You've Got Mail" and "Sleepless in Seattle" seem enlightening, while giving a left hook to feminism. Did Ryan's character even have a job? I hate this movie. Hate. And every stab at independence for women it represents. F
