bigverybadtom The movie seemed promising at first. An unmarried couple consisting of a hypochondriac American man and a blond French woman travel from New York to Europe on vacation with the idea of reviving their failing relationship. Having first gone to Venice, Italy, they then travel to Paris to meet her parents and sister. Problem is, when walking through Paris, the girlfriend meets up with a lot of her old paramours, which displeases the boyfriend.I was expecting a romantic comedy or farce, but while there were a few laughs, overall the movie was stilted and unconvincing and we didn't finish. The minor characters were little better than stereotypes, but worst of all was the couple, who spent so much time arguing and fighting that it was impossible to believe they even liked, let alone loved, each other, or could even stand each other's presence. They boyfriend's overdone hypochondria and girlfriend's nonstop chattering was too much even if this film had been intended as a farce.It may be a French film, but the fact that I've seen French reviewers who also disliked this movie says plenty. Spend no time with this movie.

Monica Kim After seeing this movie for the third time, and laughing more and more with each viewing, I think I can officially say that I love Julie Delpy. In fact, I will go a step further and announce that she's one of the most talented and interesting artists around. She really can do it all--write, direct, sing, and play guitar. Hell, she even grows old gracefully. Two Days in Paris is hilarious, smart, offensive, dark, and completely ridiculous (see Adam Goldberg) in the best possible way. It's such a simple story, but she brings out the humor so organically, and that's why, like a vintage Woody Allen movie, it doesn't lose its raw pizazz.

pamacea I found the depiction of this relationship appalling. I may show it to my teenage sons so they recognize what emotional abuse looks and sounds like. Nothing about the female lead character is endearing. She excludes her partner, makes him look and feel ridiculous, lies to him and is frankly very mentally ill. Her issues were not little insecurities that he should learn to live with and love. They were catastrophic and destructive. I watched it to the end to see if she might redeem herself, and she sort of did, gaining some insight into her own behaviour. However, if she truly loved this man, she should have undergone a couple years of intensive therapy before even thinking of beginning a relationship. Movies like this trivialize the seriousness of this type of behaviour. I did not like the happy ending; that kind of irrational behaviour does not just go away and leave the one who bears the brunt of it to live happily ever after.

reneweddan After viewing Before Sunset and Before Sunrise, I was enticed by Julie Delpy's uniqueness. This had me seeking more of her films and after watching this, I found out it was directed and written by her! I underestimated this film, which is why I am blown away after finishing it just now. The rating of 6.9 does not do it justice.The dialogue is creative, almost as if it was connected with Linklater because of the depth of some of the conversations. The comedy is as it should be, very entertaining. The acting is great as well as everything else about this film.It reminds me, in a way, of Lost in Translation because of the way parts of their time in Paris are full of French dialogue that isn't explained to the character.I applaud this film, the rating does not do it justice, I give it a 10 because of that exact reason. It's a refreshing movie that is understandable and realistic from start to finish, as well as thought-provoking and enticing.And in case anyone is interested, the dialogue near the end is perfection, work of art, blew me away.
