Kim's little patch of space...

The title of this blog is the reason for its existance. Its a nice sunny patch of garden with a nice big tree with a swing to sit under and lots of sunflowers... As for its creator, she is a postgrad student who has a tendency to take life a bit too seriously. Currently she is on a journey of self discovery and has no idea where it will take her...she may well find the meaning of life.

Movie Review: French Kiss

Imagine this....a happily engaged couple in a sleepy American town with all the houses accompanied with perfect gardens and flawless white picket fences. Her name is Kate and his name is Charlie. They live in perfect "engagement bliss" until one day, he flies to Paris for a business trip and falls in love with "the woman of his dreams", Juiliette.

What's a girl to do? Get her fiance back of course! So she flies over to Paris, despite her fear of flying...where she meets Luc who ultimately helps her in her quest to get her fiance back...

I know, I know, this set up is such a "cookie cutter" romantic comedy, but this is one that is done well. Using the cookie analogy, its not undercooked or burnt, but just right. You know how its going to end, but what happens along the way is funny and so much fun :)

If you're looking for a romantic movie, give this a try. And Meg Ryan (Kate) and Kevin Kline (Luc) do a great job as two main characters as they gradually realise they're meant for each other. Although I have to admit, this doesn't beat "My Best Friend's Wedding" as my favourite romantic comedy.
