Two Days in Paris was surprisingly good. Falsely advertised as a romantic
comedy, it wasn't in fact romantic at all in the Hollywood sense. Funny it was
though, funny as hell. But the best part was the audience. The theatre was
packed with these 50+ year old women, probably lured in by the false promise
of romcom, and I thought that man there's gonna looots of walkouts here. But
no, surprisingly they totally lolled at the stuff about blowjobs and anal sex,
just like everyone else. Despite the rather raunchy subject matter, the film
never sinked down to the level of American Pies and all that shit, it was in
fact quite tastefully done. I can imagine some more conservative folks having
some issues with this film, though.

The film did slow down a bit towards the end and the ending itself was a tad
bit preachy. But then again, I guess it was needed to wake up all the regular
eejits attempting to live the Hollywood dream of clean, everlasting love bs
over and over again, and then failing miserably every time. In any case it was
a well-done, extremely funny film (Adam Goldberg's uber-neurotic Jack,
especially, was absolutely hilarious) and I'm definitely looking forward to
whatever Julie Delpy chooses to direct next.
