A European vacation was intended to repair the tattered relationship between American Jack (Adam Goldberg) and French native Marion (Julie Delpy). But, by the time they arrive in Paris to visit Marion's family, it is clear the trip is not going well. The city brings out aspects of Marion that only alienate neurotic Jack further, from her in-your-face politics to her former boyfriends, who surface in every café. Thus, the most romantic city in the world could mean the end of the couple's romance.

Critics Consensus

Delpy proves not only to be an adept actress, but makes her mark as a writer and director in this thought-provoking comedy that breaks the romantic comedy mold.

...an impressive, funny urban comedy of manners from a suitably distinctive voice that I hope we'll hear again soon.

A movie that is as acutely painful as it is acutely funny.

The last time I laughed so hard at a movie, it was Nigel Tufnel telling us his amplifier went to 11.

Every character is either delightfully crazy or suffering from severe psychogenic disorders.

Actress Julie Delpy makes her directing debut with 2 Days in Paris, which is at once a gimlet-eyed love story and a refreshingly cynical take on the French character.

4/5

The comedic observations are spot-on and Delpy, who in addition to directing and starring in the film also edited and composed the music, deserves plaudits.

As an audience member I just wanted to jump into the screen and beat the Adam Goldberg character to a pulp.One of the most annoying characters ever in the history of cinema.

Wow what a painful watch this was. The actors are clearly improvising and the 'acting' is atrocious. No one has such antagonistic and beliquose relations with their family, no one would be making jokes about your daughter's partner's appearance (in front of him, no less), no one would be chopping up a whole rabbit minutes before eating it. Even in France. And I'm French. This is an atrocious and unfunny movie full of silly clichés. Don't waste your time.

One star off for the lame ending. The last five minutes reminded me of a diary rant I had in my 30's, still unmarried. Yeah ok relatable but so what.

Funny but got dull because it was the same silly jokes and nothing really happens. It's cute but I could only sit thru half before becoming super bored.

This is a serious cringe comedy - a little bit like 'Meet the Parents' only more upper middle class and set in France, rather than the US. I couldn't not feel sorry for Jack, played by Adam Goldberg. He plays the socially awkward type very well and given he isn't fluent in French, its not hard to see why he'd feel a little uncomfortable (a 'fish out of water' type) given the situation. The series of events that happen are sometimes surprising, sometimes shocking and often cringe or laughter enducing. There's narration provided by Julie Delpy, who plays Marion and also directs this film. Not a bad film to work so much on, good for her I say. I would definitely recommend this film, yes.

Enjoyable romantic comedy despite the distraction of many hand held camera angles.
