Review of An American in Paris (1951) by Padraig G — 18 Apr 2011
Painfully average.
This movie is about an American who lives in Paris who is caught between 2 girls... (with a bunch of singing and dancing too).
I'm going to wrap this up quick. The main problem of this film is the plot. Overused, and there was nothing to the plot. I can't believe a movie like this won best picture there was nothing to it at all just fluff.
The singing and dances sequences weren't anything special either and it was too average Gene Kelly it would be nice if something different would come for a change. This movie is very predictable (as it is like almost every other film in this particular genre). Like I said, wasn't Oscar-worthy.
The sad part of it all is that the movie started out interesting. It seemed really good but then NOTHING HAPPENED nothing changed, it was almost as if the bottom fell out of the movie and it just got dragged along the street speaking metaphorically.
20% Pretty average.
