Vanya on 42nd Street soars from stage to screen magic
A film adaptation of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya directed by Andre Gregory, using a theater on a decaying New York street as its stage. Louis Malle steers the production with Julianne Moore as Yelena, supported by George Gaynes and Wallace Shawn. Syracuse University drama students and John Franceschina deliver a vigorous, respectful transfer with strong choreography by Ellen Troy and Andrew Grose. Special mentions go to Kara Watters, Susan Beem, Blake Gardner, Annie Mosher, and Robb Leigh Davis.

French Kiss Review Finds Charm in Paris Despite Flaws
A critique notes Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline carry the uneven plot of French Kiss set in Paris and Cannes. The romance hinges on mistaken choices and a jewel thief caper, with admiration for the leads' charisma amid implausible dynamics between Hutton and the Amercian goddess.

Not quite romance as comedy in Kasdan's France tale
The film shows Ryan transforming into a butterfly like moment as she sheds sweats for a designer dress. Kline adds a French accent but often keeps English word order revealing the performance. The movie flirts with nationalities yet stays romance focused, leaving qualified satire and a sharper tone undone.
