Caught as it is between mocking romance clichés and investing in them, the film is too up in the air to succeed on either front, as love story or sendup.

[A] formulaic romantic comedy.

It's all put across with gusto, but also a fair bit of slightly wince-making cliche, stereotyping and broad comedy. Sagnier deservesa classier vehicle than this.

It's not so much that Love is in the Air is a terrible film, it's just terribly familiar and has the audacity to be every bit as predictable as you can surmise it will be from its opening frames.
