Review of 2 Days in Paris (2007) by Tomkk — 13 Mar 2008
Great movie about an all too real couple dealing with hilarious relationship problems. People might not enjoy the movie since both characters are not very likable, and they aren't intended to be. People take this to be a romantic comedy, formulating the Hollywood perfect love stories of an American guy and a French girl visiting the most romantic city in the world, Paris.
If you view it this way, of course your not going to like it. This movie blows such romantic notions aside. One could even argue if the movie is romantic, since the couple deal with all too real situations.
Adam Goldberg plays a typical NY American: neurotic, hypochondriac, egotistic, doesn't care or know much about other cultures. Yet the French girl is neglectful, anger-aggressive bordering on scary.
The movie makes mocks both cultures, and this culture-clash boils to a nice and powerful voice-over in the end. While the ending is ambiguous and weak, the movie is hilarious and lovely.
