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

Customer Reviews

Two days you will definitely want to skip
"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.

One great bilingual movie! hilarous!
this movie is very well written, the reason I think the reviews are so bad on this site is that its bilingual. Even if there are subtitles (both ways) the humor of both the english and french speaking characters don't match up. It works,just not as well. So if your open to subtitles or bilingual I recomend this! Very funny, well acted and well written! hilarious, mon cher bouffe chie dort! haha.

Well written movie!
I thought this movie was fantastic! It's insightful, realistic, intelligent and well written! I don't understand why some reviewers reviewed it so poorly. This movie is not like the normal mainstream movies that are shown over and over again. Maybe some people wanted the "hollywood love story", which this is not; however, this is a movie about realistic love, relationships, etc.
