Movie Connections:

Featured in Great Movie Mistakes IV (2012) (TV)

Whatever happened to "and they lived happily ever after"?

I loathed this film as much as I loved 2 Days in Paris, a fun, intelligent and original film which I highly recommend.

I wonder what went through July Delpy's mind to write and direct a story in such a manner as to make it look like a long version of the Marx Brother's crowded cabin scene. There were way too many unbelievably stupid characters and way too many banal conversations going on at the same time. It was exhausting and, worst of all, boring. Not even the usually funny Chris Rock managed to save the day.

I will try and forget I ever saw this film in the hope of picturing a "and they lived happily ever after" whenever I watch 2 Days in Paris again. Fat chance...
