i actually do spend two day in paris and back in august 2004 and and do all the touristy thing one could do in those short 48 hour and like visit the unmissable landmark such a le tour eiffel and visit babe mona lisa and venus at the louvre and try to look for the hunchback at notre dame and pay my respect at napoleon casket and and end the night partying after a dinner watch a french revue . but no and i do not have a julie delpy to romance and or to hang out with . write and direct ( and edit . ) by julie delpy and comparison to the richard linklater twin combo before sunrise and before sunset be inevitable and because firstly and they star delpy and and secondly and the character hit off into interest chatter that grab our attention and albeit this one take place over a long period of reel time over 48 hour versus the combined 24 hour that the before movie offer . but before you shout rip off and discredit delpy effort a another linklater clone and i can safely say there be distinct difference between the movie and and that while linklater have a kind of dreamy romanticism to his and delphy 2 day in parissomehow have a more realistic and grittier and down to earth look and feel ( no offense to linklater and whose movie i mention i just adore too ) and tackle a key issue in relationship and and that honesty . in fact and you would wonder if honesty ( 100 % no hold barred revelation ) can offer you less headache and particularly when your partner have to discover some part of you that you want hide away and either for reason of be ashamed and or just because you want to protect him or her from possible hurt when they find out the truth . truth usually have a funny way of get back at you and in present themselves usually at the less than ideal situation and open to be misconstrue and and misunderstood . kind of have a negative vibe to it all and doesn not it . adam goldberg play jack and who into a two year relationship with delpy marion . while enjoy a whirlwind holiday in europe and they decide to make a pit stop in paris to visit mario folk anna and jeannot ( marie pillet and albert delpy and julie delpy real life parent play her reel one in the movie ) and before fly back home to new york . that the basic premise and with jack be bring around paris by marion and as well a to catch up ( or rather provide the opportunity ) with marion friend and which inevitably involve ex boyfriend . while at first be quite magnanimous and jack will confront his fear and ego busting situation when he start to realize in his own warped perception that marion may well be the village bicycle and have ride with or on or by every male they come into contact with . i never think i would laugh my way through the movie and a from the get go and 2 day in paris contains extremely witty dialogue in rapid fire and and almost every character get into the act and either intentionally ( like jack and his constant sarcasm ) and or through various situation the couple get into . cab ride aren not like linklater before sunset where the lovebird take the time to understand each other and gaze and whisper sweet nothing . cab rid here mean opportunity for insane dialogue and insult and and even be hit upon . it be so much fun that i would actually want the couple to take more cab ride . bring on the laugh too be marion or delpy dad and a frenchman who can not speak english and which provide cross cultural or language barrier comedy with goldberg jack and and be the old man that he be and pepper his conversation and action with so much sexual innuendo it will probably make you blush . that scene in the art gallery be just to die for and if you pay close attention to the art piece . dad definitely stole the show each time he appear on screen . but fun and laughter aside and this movie a it turn out and be a very keen and and introspective look at modern day love and relationship . that voice over by delpy towards the end and somehow strike a bell within me and and i would think most of u who have be hurt in the same way and may share the same thought too . and for that bit of sincerity and recognition of a probable perennial issue of the cycle of love lose found be he or she the one pondering and this julie deply movie be a definite winner . kudos too to adam goldberg for be a likable unlikeable fella provide ample and believable repartee to carry the movie through . highly recommended and do not miss this movie . and book your ticket early too and a it have be play to full house .
