Reviews of 2 Days in New York 2012
-
Enjoyable French/American comedy. Although I highly doubt anyone's dad could be that retarded.
-
Intervallic, pedestrian and penetratingly nauseating.
-
Did Delpy get a pass on this because she's an admired, easy to love indie queen with past credibility? I don't know but this hackneyed, awkwardly unfunny farcial flop irked and irritated me like no other film in some time.

Marion's family: ruining her relationships since 2007.
-
Likable film but has a Woody Allen thing about it. Also reminds me why I dislike the French but maybe the was the whole point.

2 Days In New York
A Review by Ben Hunter
2 Out of 5 Stars
July 6, 2012"Get to the Point Ben!" When you compare it to “Vintage Woody Allen” like it’s been getting from some critics, it becomes a terrible movie. When you take it in on its own merit, it’s just a bad movie that could’ve been better had Julie Delpy (writer/director/star) gone with someone with better chemistry in the casting of her counterpart and not gone…

This film is occasionally really funny, but often an awkward experience. Chris Rock is really good as he plays the straight man through most of the film to the overly goofy family of his girlfriend who are just in from France.

The family is where the problems lie. They are so over-the-top that it takes away from the menaing of her character's arc.
Overall, I'm glad I saw this film, I just wish they would have pulled back a bit on the family. -
4 years after their hectic trip to Paris, Marion (Julie Delpy) and boyfriend ajack have now parted company, bough not before conceiving a son, Lulu. Marion and Lulu now share an apartment with Marion's new boyfriend Mingus (Chris Rock), and his daughter. All is going well, until Marion's dad, sister and her boyfriend pay them a visit.......
This pleasantly surprised me and was a really good farce in the best French tradition -
I first saw Julie Delpy twenty years ago in Killing Zoe (a movie I enjoy far more than I probably should) and I've been a fan ever since.
This is, I guess, a sequel to 2 Days in Paris, a movie I really enjoyed. The juxtaposition between Godberg the New Yorker and her French family in that film is echoed here with Rock and it works about as well as it did in that previous film. Delpy has a real…

Surprisingly good.

A wonderfully eccentric, witty and heartfelt film about a lot of things that don't always gel at times, but that doesn't matter when something is as entertaining and funny as this.

2 Days in New York had some great comedic moments that really made me laugh out loud. I definitely enjoyed watching the movie on the whole. The plot, however, is all over the place--with several scenes that are either totally unbelievable, or they just don't make sense--and I felt like it would have benefitted greatly from a few rewrites.
