American tour guide Mo Alexander misses her tour group, and then her flight out of Paris.

Soon their bickering romance of convenience takes a serious turn, and, in spite of himself, Xavier finds he's falling in love.

Pretty Good
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
I love a good love story..... but this is just terrible! First of all, Karen Allen is too "butch" to be believable in this role. Her French lover is an egomaniac and totally non-sexy. Sure he lets the camera show his naked rear, but he is boring in every other way. I can't believe the dialog in this film or the "plot." Stupid, stupid, stupid. Where did they find the financing for this horrendous version of Hepbern's classic film "Summertime" set in Venice? I could not stop watching because it was so bad! This film set the entire country of France,Karen Allen and whoever else was involved in any way back! When it finally ended ("died") I just thought: "There are probably people sobbing over this 'love story'." They should go plant seeds like Karen did before ending up in France!
Any movie that has nude scenes of Karen Allen and I'm still so bored I walk out, that is a stinker! Karen gets stuck in Paris, and befriends a sissily-handsome French man with whom she is having sex soon. Of course he's married, ("But, cheri, why should that be a problem?") What could be an interesting clash of cultures is (believe it or not) just dull. I walked out. Maybe the movie got a lot better after I left; but it would have had to have gotten a LOT better to make up for a rotten beginning.My advice, if you find yourself in this, run, do not walk, for the exit. Save your time and your energy. Most assuredly save your money. It's a shame the production company didn't save its money.
True, the setting in Paris is great. The actors are fine. The story is a twisted morality play. Is it supposed to say that if you want someone badly enough, it's OK to hurt everyone else along the way? In a real romance, you sort of want less cliché than the man who has become bored with his wife and is willing to dump his family, and the woman who is OK with encouraging him to do this. So what if they are decent looking and if Karen Allen shows off her body? The characters are still self-absorbed and reprehensible. Maybe the moral of the story is "you get what you deserve". I give it a 4, only for the fast scan potential through the "male interest" bits.
I saw Until September back in the 80's and still enjoy watching the movie... even today! Until September makes one still dream that anything is possible when it comes to the matters of the heart! The movie also showed just what promise Thierry Lhermitte truly had in store for his audiences and while I have never watched Karen Allen except in this movie and one other - I thought she was excellent in Until September. I also agree that this movie by "United Artists" should be released on DVD - it's simply unjust not to! I have written to make inquiries to that effect but alas, have received no response to my emails. And while this movie remains as "OOP" you can find it regularly on Ebay but be prepared to pay handsomely for the movie. Recently the going bids range from between $50 - $100.00 even for prior rentals!
