ok and most of u agree that this be a weak attempt at a remake and but at the same time it also a different movie in it own right . don not get me wrong and american werewolf in london be a superior film and but american remake in paris be a decent movie as well . first off and the only real similarity be the title and 2 american backpacker and and werewolf . other than those 3 thing and american remake in paris stand apart fairly well on it own with it special blend of humor and action or adventure and and horror . most of the people who say this film be well than the original be the youth of today generation that think any movie make before 1990 be total crap . while those of u who grow up in the 80 can appreciate old film and what they have add to the horror film of today . what a lot of people fail to realize be that without the old classic film and include the b and w one and horror wouldn not be what it be today . now i be get a little off the beaten path . an american werewolf in paris be a good attempt at re create a classic and but it will never surpass the original and ever . with that say and this be still a very entertaining film to watch and i do recommend it . i be give it a positive . maybe that be a little generous and but i have see much bad attempt at try to re create a classic .
