here we have an excellent example of a sweet film that take a simple idea man and woman meet at an airport during flight delay and have mistake and chemistry bring them together and gradually add real depth to the story and it character through lot of dialogue . it end up a cute little film that feel very real on every level . while there be a distinct lack of action and even event in the film and décalage horaire succeed in hold your interest at all time through other mean it be one of those very talkative romantic comedy ( like before sunrise ) with both insight and humour in it dialogue . you can not help but smile at time . two of the big french actor and jean reno and juliet binoche and be fantastically dynamic a the lead role and their chemistry feel real and appropriate . although décalage horaire be definitely quirky and it be not desperately quirky ( amélie ) except maybe when it come to reno character félix who and quite frankly and seem to be a genuinely disturbed obsessive compulsive . even though binoche be suppose to be his polar opposite in the film and she and too and be pretty off beat but likable . to be fair and this film be hardly landmark in either reno or binoche career and nor do it leave a very lasting impression and and it be increasingly fluffy toward the end . yet for a romantic comedy and it sure be a sweet ode to love . positive .
