    • Quotes

      Andy McDermott: So... hey you guy's are werewolves too, huh? Super glad to know you.

      Claude: Andy, I don't think you have accepted the gift that has been given to you, or much less appreciated it. We have a mission, Andy. To purify the world that why we pick our victim's from the scum of society. The governments of the world spend billions on medicine, welfare, charity to what effect? It only keeps alive, the weak, the stupid, the lazy, who breathe and multiply, weakening the human race. All my men I have chosen for their loyalty their dedication to the coming age. But you... you were not to have been. You're an accident, an anomaly. I do not wish to kill you. I pray you will join is in our rise to become the new mankind. Pure free of disease free from the trappings of technological advance, will you join us... Andy?

      Andy McDermott: I don't know. You know that's a big decision. I'm gonna need some time to think about that.

      Claude: Sure.

    So what next? "An American Werewolf in Athens"?
    OK, so I don't know why they decided to make another movie about a Yankee college student going to a European capital and becoming a lycanthrope. But still, "An American Werewolf in Paris" definitely has its moments. Some scenes were no doubt thrown in for comic relief, like "You can't just pop up and tell me what to do." I agree with a previous reviewer that people who slam this movie are comparing it too much to "An American Werewolf in London". Maybe there's a slight feeling of that one, but you have to take this one as something new - and rather campy - to really enjoy it. Tom Everett Scott and Julie Delpy do a pretty cool job. But either way, I think that I've had my fill of movies about US citizens becoming lycanthropes in the Old Continent.

    So what do YOU plan to do the next time that there's a full moon?
