I hope to god if I ever spend 2 days in Paris that my experience does not play out like this... You know, with more down's than up's in the romance department. Even though this film touches on the darker side of romance, it somehow still manages to be extremely entertaining in a French-Woody Allen kind of way. Some might not enjoy the word heavy comedy, but if you are a fan of independent film and have a deep appreciation for films that think out of the box then you should see '2 Days In Paris'.
Near the end of a their journey through Europe, two seasoned lovers return to Paris before their return to New York. Marion, played by Julie Delpy, is actually from Paris so she and her lover Jack, brilliantly played by Adam Goldberg, shack up in the apartment above Marion's parents. While fighting his way through translation, Jack begins to be taken over by paranoia as Marion engages in suspicious and erratic behavior. Is she hiding something? Is it lover's jealousy? Or is Jack just lost in the cross-hairs of American and French culture? These are the main questions this film explores all while introducing us to wonderfully developed characters, witty dialogue, and a unique pace that sets '2 Days in Paris' apart from other films.
