Amusing and Enjoyable: 2 Days in Paris

2 Days in Paris
Directed by Julie Delpy
Released August 10, 2007

Actress Julie Delpy wrote and directed this romantic dramedy about a couple traveling on vacation who have sme trying experiences while in Paris. The story feels familiar enough, and there is nothing terribly original about the playing-out of events, yet it serves as an entertaining and occasionally affecting film. The direction is artistic and the editing is fun. The real reason to see this film is the cast. The supporting players, including a smattering of ex-boyfriends and protagonist Marion's parents, are hilarious. The leads, Adam Goldberg and Julie Delpy, play together extremely well and their chemistry is the best thing this film has to offer.

B+
