tavm When I first watched this in theatres 20 years ago, I had not yet watched An American Werewolf in London so I was not familiar with the "undead" people showing up and telling the leading werewolf character to "kill the one who bit them so they can disappear" trope. And I only remembered two scenes from AAWIP from back then-when Tom Everett Scott is being encouraged by Julie Delpy to touch her breasts and the ending that I won't reveal here. So when I just watched this again online, some of the memories of seeing the other scenes came back but most of the time, I was looking at the movie through new eyes. That's especially true when Julie Bowen-who I'd eventually watch again in TV shows like "Ed" and "Modern Family"-showed up as a fellow American tourist as I hadn't seen her before in anything when this movie first came out so wouldn't recognize her as from those TV shows I just mentioned if I'd thought of this movie a few years later. Anyway, this is kinda a sequel to AAWIL as the Delpy character is revealed to be the offspring of the leading characters of that previous one even though I don't remember her mentioning the names of her late parents. In summary, An American Werewolf in Paris is good in its own right though not as good as An American Werewolf in London. There are plenty of laugh-worthy scenes as well as some good scares.

GL84 After saving a suicidal woman on the Eifel Tower, a group of American tourists learn that she's secretly a werewolf trying to end her life, but when he's accidentally turned goes to her for help against the pack who turned him.There's a lot of great parts here that make this one enjoyable. Among the better features here is the action along the way here, which has such a great feel in generating the kind of extravagant pace that's required here. This starts off nicely with the rescue attempt on the Eifel Tower but really gets good here with the massacre at the club which takes place in the underground catacombs as not only is the escape attempt in the underground tunnels being really exciting in those creepy places but the action of ripping apart the others trapped upstairs makes this an utterly enjoyable time. There's the great encounter with the strapped-down werewolf in the basement that's rather fun, and another big chase through a cemetery as the stalking and escape attempts get even more fun times in here, while the biggest scene here is the final assault in the second club sequence where they interrupt the second party in grand fashion resulting in the chaos from their disruption and panic, the confrontations with the police and finally getting to the big brawls down in the catacombs and out onto the subway train for some incredibly enjoyable action scenes throughout this. As well as what happened in the original, there' s some rather fun times here with the light-hearted comedy here that's a great deal funnier as the same gags with the decomposing corpses appearing to him, only there's a lot of fun with their appearances often coming up in the most inopportune places to manipulate the situation against him. These here manage to hold off what is really the one lone flaw in here but which is incredibly detrimental to this one. The fact is that this one is absolutely littered with appalling, atrocious CGI really lowers this one as practically every frame of werewolf activity here is caused by this. Very rarely does it use them for anything else, resulting in horrible transformations and attacks that look completely ridiculous that never once looks believable or convincing, which is even more problematic considering what happened in the original where this wasn't a factor at all. Not only that, but the design tries way too hard to emulate the original which makes it look cheap altogether. These here are what hold this one down.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.

crdnlsyn13 I gave this movie a rating of 1 which by IMDb standards means Awful. This movie is not 'awful' in the least, however it IS a remake, and I HATE remakes... Don't get me wrong, there are some movies, where the remake is better than the original, The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatcher (the first remake), but those movies had a great story. Well ahead of their time, but at the time they were originally made, the special effects technology was no where near what the story needed, to make them truly shine.An American Werewolf in London was phenomenal when it was made. It stood special effects companies on their heads, and made them change their approaches to several movies since. Because of this it will stand as a classic, that should have NEVER been "remade" ever. An American Werewolf in Paris, is a farce, and should be stricken for the annuls of history. Which is too bad, as I really like Tom Everett Scott, and this movie kinda ruined his career.I mean he worked with Tom Hanks on The Wonders, and then......... too bad. I know why he took the role, it wasn't his fault, that the movie should never have been made.

limeyabroad I only wish there was a 0/10 option. It is difficult to comprehend just how bad this movie was. Not merely bad as a sequel to a classic - just plain bad.The actors have zero charisma. Tom Everett Scott has thankfully faded into obscurity and Julie Delpy...well, she must have improved as she has forged a successful career in European art-house romantic dramas.The transformation scenes are just...just so bad. Again, not even comparing them to Rick Bakers masterpiece, just to any werewolf movie. The Wolfman (1941) had a better transformation.The CGI werewolves look about half as scary as Sully in Monsters Inc.The plot and screenplay is lazy. It takes about half of the ideas from the original and redoes them - badly. The rest of the plot was, I would have to guess, written by someone who really hated his job.The comedy - the only stuff that works is the idea lifted from 'London' - namely the victims haunting the werewolf.The scares - um, someone forgot to add them into the movie. The scariest thing is that this abomination saw the light of day.Sequel elements - The love interest is the daughter of David and Alex from the first movie (Alex played in this movie by someone other than Jenny Agutter).In trying to steer others away from this garbage, I feel I have balanced out all of the bad things I have ever done in my 36 years.In closing, I would rather get a prostate exam from Freddy Krueger than have to sit through this steaming pile ever again.
