Movie #138 ........................."Two Days in Paris"

Movie #138 "Two Days in Paris" was funny and winning (oftentimes in a vulgar sort of way) full of scenes that deal with the American as a fish out of water in Paris. For example, he's there for a few minutes and while his girlfriend is seeking a taxi, he tells a bunch of American tourists that they can just walk to the Louvre from the airport --- "it's only about 10 minutes to the left" -------- not true, but it's his sense of humor, and Adam Goldberg (the infamous crazy roommate that Chandler had on "Friends" ) plays that part to the hilt . Julie Delphy whom I loved in the two Ethan Hawke movies that they starred in (the movies that were big long discussions, remember?) stars opposite him and she's the charm in the film --- she directs and co-writes this, as well. It was a fun experience to watch and I loved the backdrop of Paris --- it just makes me want to see it more.

2 Days in Paris
Deux Jours à Paris
(2007) R
On their way home from an ill-fated Venice vacation, Marion (Julie Delpy, who also directs) and Jack (Adam Goldberg) stop in Paris to visit Marion's parents. But their sojourn in the City of Lights turns out to be just as disastrous as their "romantic" trip to Italy. Culture shock, run-ins with Marion's myriad ex-lovers and uncomfortable encounters with her belligerent parents conspire to make Jack feel even more estranged from his worldly paramour.
