Movie Reviews of Two Days in Paris
Movie Review: All the funny parts are on the trailer...
Summary: 1 Stars
I looked so forward to seeing this because of the trailer. Little did I know I'd already seen the funny parts because of it! This movie tries way too hard to succeed. Instead-it fails miserably. Goldberg's character was extremely whiny, a hypocondriac, depressing and just mean! Actually, I liked neither character. The humor fell short most of the film. I can appreciate that Paris is an openminded city, but I fail to see how all the sex talk, 'dirty' words and innuendo would actually happen like it did in this movie. It was in excess.
Lastly, the conservative bashing took this film downhill faster for me than it otherwise would have. It got old. Fast. Yeah yeah, we know. Hollywood is left leaning and thinks the whole world should be. We got it already.
Bottom line: I kept looking at the clock every 2-3 minutes for it to get over. Next time a movie has quite a bit of 1 & 2 star reviews, I will pay more attention to it!
Movie Review: Ho-Hum
Summary: 1 Stars
I had high expectations of this movie after its review but it was about as interesting to me as watching water boil. Take these two out of that beautiful setting and the movie wouldn't have been watchable. Much of the dialogue is in French, which we're privy to with the captions. Adam Goldberg is excluded from many conversations at family meals, conversations Julie Delpy has with friends and old lovers who seem to pop up with amazing frquency in this short time. The 'eccentricity' of her artist father is illustrated in one scene by his scratching marks on cars with a key if they dare have a tire up on the sidewalk. Funny? I think not. Delray is a bit ditzy and screams a lot. Goldberg pouts a lot. In the end, they seem to have some sort of bond that never becomes clear to me. My recommendation is 'don't waste your time'.Movie Review: We get it already, you're a miserable cad!
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a difficult movie for me to get through. In fact, I found myself completely disinterested and literally waiting for the movie to end. The male lead character seems merely an incredibly bad homage to Woody Allen.
I've seen Adam Goldberg before in non-lead roles and enjoyed his style of sharp, sardonic humor, but it was just a non-stop whine-fest throughout this entire film...and utterly petty for the most part.
Don't get me wrong, I love neurotic characters - Julie Dempy's character, for the most part, is fantastic - and I very much enjoy dark humor, but Adam Goldberg's character was just a complete drag and made it very difficult to remain engaged.
Movie Review: Run away now!
Summary: 1 Stars
I 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.Movie Review: Two days you will definitely want to skip
Summary: 1 Stars
"2 Days in Paris" starts off OK but the relentlessly obnoxious characters - especially filmaker and star Julie Delpy - quickly become tiresome and irritating. Much of the dialogue and many of the situations appears to be unscripted and go absolutely nowhere - case in point the scene on the Metro. Only Adam Goldberg comes out of this with any distinction. Delpy has almost succeeded in doing the one thing that you might have thought impossible - making Paris look unappealing. These are definitly two days you will want to skip.
