Movie Reviews of Forget Paris
Movie Review: Boring!!
Summary: 1 Stars
A story of a couple who met in Paris, fell in love, then got married happily after...... No sorry, they didn't, not immediately.
They fell in love at first, then were faced with reality that started diminshing their love gradually. They started having fights and conflicts, then eventually they got back together and were happily in love ever after.
I found the film to be boring. Its quite long, full of unnecessary details, typical early 90s movie! It wasn't funny, wasn't even romantic. We didn't even get much of France or the French culture except in the begining. Even the name Forget Paris doesn't make sense because we don't get much of France. They meant by the name to forget the lovely times both couples had in Paris.
A movie about a regular couple having regular experiences. NO VALUE ADDED.
Quite boring, maybe we today do not have the patience to watch classic films.
Summary of Forget Paris
The romantic life of NBA referee Billy Crystal is on the rebound when he falls for airline employee Debra Winger. Crystal also directs this transatlantic comedy slam dunk with top-notch supporting cast of comedy pros, including Joe Mantegna, Cathy Moriarty and William Hickey.Billy Crystal plays Mickey, a basketball referee who has to accompany his estranged father's body to France, where the old man requested to be buried with the other members of his D-Day platoon. Unfortunately for Mickey, the airline loses his body. Fortunately for Mickey, this leads him to meet Ellen (Debra Winger), an airline executive who takes personal charge of the case and even joins him at the funeral. A whirlwind Paris romance leads to marriage, but that's when the complications begin... The story of Mickey and Ellen's marriage is recounted by their friends (played by Joe Mantegna, Cynthia Stevenson, Julie Kavner, Richard Masur, John Spencer, and Cathy Moriarty) as they wait for Mickey and Ellen to arrive at a dinner party. And of course these friends have their own stories, which are played out in witty shorthand as they bicker about who's going to tell the next part of the Mickey/Ellen saga. Forget Paris is uneven (unsurprisingly, Winger is stronger in the dramatic sections and Crystal in the comic parts, a schism that takes its toll on their chemistry), but its best parts hold up, even if the whole is shaky. Plus, the movie's theme (that romantic memories aren't what makes a marriage work, you have to live in the present) is explored with conviction and tenderness. --Bret Fetzer
