Reminds me of a French Kiss except Danny Boon is certainly no Kevin Kline and his character makes very little sense at all .He can find new jobs that straddle the whole world with very little notice.
The idea of superstition leading to Diane Krugers character going to plan a half an hour marriage was just about plausible but for her to then change her plans and follow Danny Boon to Africa was kinda insane .Adding to that by making Boons character a moron who has no clue what she is up to the film loses any real chance to be taken too seriously. It is only after he finds out what she has done that the two characters actually become a believable couple The lion scene is woeful and wouldn't have taken much for it to be funny. Having said that it does have some funny scenes especially when she attacks him in the dentist chair and when she gives him hair remover instead of shampoo.
Kruger was good in National Treasure and is funny in this but the script and direction wasn't good enough.
