    2 Days in Paris is a better movie, but 2 Days in New York is funnier. Nuff said. 9 years 2 months ago

    I'm usually better informed, but I watched Julie Delpy's 2 Days in New York without realizing it was a sequel to 2 Days in Paris. It didn't really matter that I hadn't seen the first film. It stands on its own. On the surface, it's a simple story. Delpy's character and her current serious live-in boyfriend played against type by Chris Rock (each one with a kid) get a visit from her crazy French family, including her exhibitionist sister and her douchey boyfriend, and her hilarious father, played by Delpy's own. The comedy is realistically played, and possibly funnier if you understand both languages (which I do) and don't have to read subtitles, while the dysfunctional family humor should play to all cultures. I laughed a lot. Surprisingly and refreshing, race isn't an issue for Delpy's family, so it's more about Rock being invaded by an alien culture and language in his own home, and realizing his girlfriend is one of them. There's also this strange strand in which Delpy's character, a visual artist, sells her soul as part of performance art, which takes the film into deeper, more surreal, even art house places in the last act. While I appreciate it, it seems to belong in a different film altogether. Structurally, that vibe needed to be injected into earlier parts of the film more convincingly, in among the screwball stuff. 10 years 3 months ago
