Review of An American Werewolf in Paris (1997) by Crystal H — 24 Feb 2009
An American Werewolf in Paris has no real connection with it's predecessor. However it does follow the same premise and keeps the interesting mythology it started. Paris may not be as classic as it's dry and bizarre prequel, but it is just as entertaining.
The humour is only really littered about the first half, but it is very decent. The werewolves themselves are mostly CGI. Though these effects now look amateurish, they are no worse than the monstrosities that we saw in I Am Legend.
The difference being that Paris is over 10 years old. It was actually a brave decision for a technique only just breaking out in movies. The corpses are again the real highlight, it adds to the character dynamics.
However I'm not sure they resolved the corpses plot lines in this one. A fun and funny film that is tongue in cheek, but never laughable.
