Lawrence Kasdan's light romantic comedy French Kiss comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround, while a French soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer. This is a fine disc that will please fans of the film, but there is nothing spectacular on this 20th Century Fox release. This is a problem compounded by the high-end list price.

With Kevin Klein doing a great job acting as a Frenchman and Meg Ryan as a strong but insecure American/Canadian, the story flows smoothly and because Klein and Ryan work very well together their characters are both realistic and lovable. Romantic comedies don't always keep their comedic enthusiasm. French kiss does have it's slow romantic scenes but the humor never seems to fade even after a touching moment. A US actor playing a foreigner normally bothers me for many reasons but like all his movies, Klein's St. Louis Missouri origin always eludes me. Even though the ending is a bit predictable, doubtless and somewhat sudden, I'm not disappointed and even if you are, it doesn't stick in your mind like some movies and you're still able to remember the entire movie. There are many quotes that are witty and usable with a laugh. I would recommend this film for those who like a good laugh without the extreme inappropriate content found all too often today.
