Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

l_rawjalaurence 2 DAYS IN Paris isn't going to be the kind of film to win any Oscars; its subject-matter is a familiar one (the American floundering in a foreign culture), and the conclusion equally predictable. Nonetheless Julie Delpy's film does have its incidental pleasures, notably two winning central performances from Delpy herself as Marion and Adam Goldberg (as Jack). Although different as chalk from cheese, they nonetheless try to sustain their love-affair in the face of almost insuperable obstacles - Marion's overbearing, non-English-speaking parents, a bohemian ex-boyfriend of Marion (Daniel Bruhl), plus a host of other impediments - imagined or otherwise - that befall Jack's stay in Paris. The film takes some predictable potshots at Americans abroad; their monolingualism, their expectations that everyone should think like them, irrespective of cultural differences; and their obsession with private as opposed to public issues. On the other hand the French are not immune from criticism either; Lukas (Bruhl) is portrayed as a libertine paying scant regard for such things as reliability or privacy. The film's conclusion is predictable enough, with the lovers vowing to separate yet unable to do so, but it has been an enjoyable trip along the way.

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.

kosmasp Actually if you think of it, is more than two. But that is a theme that runs through the movie. The free spirited female and the more constraint male. But you can't fault one or the other. It is human emotions that run their daily lives. And it is that, that makes them vulnerable and also causes quite a lot of problems. It is also the source of many of the dialog. Dialogue that tries to be very deep and succeeds in doing so quite often.But while it is philosophical you do wonder if every relationship is as talky as this. Which brings us to the inevitable comparison to the "Before ..." movie series. Also staring Julie Delpy. She has that role pigeon holed and likes to rattle on some relationship standards. Or even male/female prejudices. The french family on display here, does add to the humor, if you're not getting too annoyed here. A sequel came out to this, that follows Julie furthermore, but more of that in "2 days ...."

Bob Weber What had the potential of being a great film with lots of opportunity of being another "The Out of Towners" with Jack Lemon and Sandy Dennis turned out to be a drawn out and tedious film of self indulgence by the director and author, Julie Delpy. The very few laughs or humorous moments were few and far between and the characters were extremely shallow and pathetic. This was watched with a friend who had the same impressions and we both found it to be typical of many French films without much substance and little to say. It was also fairly crude and crass for the sake of just making an impact and added little to whatever points were trying to be made. This was one long, tedious and drawn out film that had little to offer the viewer in terms of comedy and not much to redeem itself in its ending.
