Anne (Diane Lane) is at a crossroads in her life. Married to a successful but inattentive movie producer (Alec Baldwin), she unexpectedly finds herself taking a car trip from Cannes to Paris with her husband's business associate (Arnaud Viard). What should be a seven-hour drive turns into a carefree two-day adventure replete with diversions involving picturesque sights, fine food and wine, humor, wisdom and romance, reawakening Anne's senses and giving her a new lust for life.

Critics Consensus

Paris Can Wait's likable stars are ill-served by a film that lacks interesting ideas or characters and has little to offer beyond striking travelogue visuals.

Wife and I were bored 15 minutes in and I can't believe we stuck with it. Kinda trusted Diane Lane or the story to come to life, but grew increasingly frustrated as that failed to happen. When the credits popped up on the screen we were surprised that THAT was the story, but relieved it was over.

What was the purpose? It didn't answer any questions. Instead, it left me with a lot of questions. Why was the business associate broke? Why was he driving her all over? Why didn't the husband show up? What was up with the ending? Why was she taking all the pictures all the time? The camera clicking was the most annoying sound ever. Terrible! This movie isn't even Hallmark worthy. It's definitely giving Tubi vibes.

I love Diane Lane, and I was curious enough to continue watching, as I love romance and seeing what would happen to improve her life. However, I really disliked the Frenchman. He seemed kinda creepy and bossy to me, and the thought of them kissing made me cringe. No chemistry there, it sort of ruined it, as the scenery and food and premise I liked.

Lane possesses a wry, self-deprecating grace that can invigorate the lamest cliche. But she's really up against it this time.

It has its moments, but mostly it feels like being stuck in the backseat on a long car ride.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

In away it bookmarks nicely with her husband Francis Ford Coppola’s film Twixt, which similarly sees the director working through the long held grief over the accidental death of their son Gian-Carlo.

Keith & the Movies

I grew tired of their monotonous conversations and the utter lack of dramatic tension. I found myself annoyed at Jacques’ cloying banter and Anne’s wistful obedience. And I kept wondering who would ever fall for this guy?

As an ad for the French Riviera Tourist Bureau it works. As a big screen movie experience it's a good ad for the French Riviera Tourist Bureau.
