DVD Reviews of Two Days in ParisDVD Review: brilliant Summary: 5 StarsA comedic play in two languages. French and English, European and American attitudes, pop history and modernism, neuroses and silliness combine marvelously in this hilarious "small" movie. A jewel in the rough streets of Paris.
DVD Review: Run away now! Summary: 1 StarsI rented Two Days in Paris because I thought it looked like a good chick flick for my wife. What a mistake! We didn't even make it past the first half hour. If you are amused by the self absorbed whining of neurotic, pseudo intellectual New Yorkers, then you might actually enjoy this movie. Otherwise run away now. The French characters in this movie reinforce every negative stereotype ever created. And the lead American character puts the ugly in Ugly American. This flick is strictly Woody Allen lite. If there were a negative star rating I would have used it.
DVD Review: 3 stars out of 4 Summary: 3 StarsThe Bottom Line:
2 Days in Paris has some amusing moments and moves briskly through its brief running length; it's certainly no great film and the narration violates the "show don't tell" rule during numerous crucial scenes, but you could do worse romantic-comedy wise.
DVD Review: Avoid if you enjoy Paris or France Summary: 1 StarsAnother reviewer summarized it well: Pointless and tasteless. The word "annoying" also came to mind many, many times while watching this film to the end, and I only continued watching it to the end because I thought it might get better or somehow redeem itself for the time spent watching it. In my case it most certainly did not. If you're tempted to watch it because you enjoy Paris or France, or because you enjoy romantic comedies, then I highly recommend looking for another film.
DVD Review: Two Days in Paris Summary: 4 StarsAn enjoyable comedy with 2 charismatic lead actors that had good chemistry together. Is there any possibility of a sequel? The picture quality was acceptable.
Description of Two Days in ParisStudio: Tcfhe Release Date: 01/13/2009 Run time: 100 minutes Rating: R Julie Delpy, having spent the entirety of Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise and Before Sunset walking around European cities and talking, decides to take hold of the reins herself in Two Days in Paris. For this somewhat similar gabfest, Delpy writes, directs, and casts herself as one half of a neurotically fun couple, who stop over to visit her parents for a couple of days in (duh) Paris. Adam Goldberg brings his shaggy worrywart persona as Delpy's better half--and why shouldn't he worry? Her parents seem happy to play pranks on him, and Delpy's ex-boyfriends materialize in every arrondissement. Despite their differences in style, these two have enjoyable chemistry together, and Goldberg is gifted with razor-sharp timing. Good to see Delpy, who has often been tapped for ethereal types, playing a feistier character than usual. It doesn't hurt anything at all that they are walking and talking through Paris, a city with an inexhaustible number of attractive angles. At some point you may begin to realize that the movie doesn't seem to be about very much, and without Linklater's ingenious fixed-time structure, there's little urgency to the ongoing conversation. If you haven't seen the Linklater films, absolutely check those out first, and consider this a photogenic side dish. --Robert Horton
