2007 Directed by Julie Delpy
Adam Goldberg delivers "an uproarious study in transatlantic culture panic" as Jack, an anxious, hypochondriac-prone New Yorker vacationing throughout Europe with his breezy, free-spirited Parisian girlfriend, Marion. But when they make a two-day stop in Marion's hometown, the couple's romantic trip takes a turn as Jack is exposed to Marion's sexually perverse and emotionally unstable family.

I found this to be much funnier, more endearing, and more realistic than Before Sunrise tbqh. (I know that's an unpopular opinion, don't @ me.)
I love how Julie Delpy wrote, directed, starred in, and even edited the film and composed the soundtrack!!?!??? When will men ever?
It's not perfect by any means, but I enjoyed this immensely and laughed quite a bit. I also found Delpy's character to be very relatable. It's really interesting how relevant the political discussions in the film still are today, ten years later. And the American persona/attitude displayed by Adam Goldberg's character is pretty spot-on.
Ultimately, cute and charming! Plus it's set in Paris so I am heart-eyes all the way.
Watched in celebration of my 20th year of being in love with Julie Delpy.
Actually, it may have been slightly longer than that, but only by about a year. It depends on when they first showed Europa Europa on telly. For some reason I actually thought I had seen this before but I was getting it mixed up with Before Sunrise.
I want to get my major gripe with 2 Days In Paris out of the way first. Why are these two together? About five minutes in, Adam Goldberg's character is instantly pegged as a neurotic, sarcastic moaner who is going to complain about everyone and everything as the film progresses and seems to have no romantic chemistry with Delpy…
Whit Stillman fans, assemble! This is basically a Stillman film as directed (and written, and starred in, and scored by) by Julie Delpy, and it’s pretty tremendous. Adam Goldberg, who doesn’t get enough work, is seriously hilarious and basically plays the Chris Eigeman role in a film that is as funny as it is clever with its themes regarding the (then) incipient widening cultural divide developing between nations in a post-9/11 world. Amidst the very funny shenanigans are all kinds of bigoted cab drivers, American tourists seen as invaders and Goldberg’s staunch liberal having to confront his own hypocrisies when facing the freer, more open sets of relationship boundaries found in girlfriend Delpy’s native France. It’s also quite emotional at…
Julie Delpy wrote, directed, produced, edited, composed the soundtrack, and played the leading role for this frustrating piece of work, which seems to have caught more admiration around parts where I was instead finding myself at distance. From watching her in Three Colors: White or any entry into Richard Linklater's Before trilogy, there's always something wonderful to be found whether it come from her acting or her writing, but seeing as she's putting herself up for so many responsibilities with 2 Days in Paris, the results were rather interesting but unfortunately not anywhere near the level that could have been reached with the potential being implied.
I always knew Julie Delpy to be a great actress, and unsurprisingly, she's absolutely…
I can't believe this film has existed for 7 years without me seeing it. Co-incidentally enough I saw one of my best friends last night for the first time in 7 years. When you hit a certain age, it astounds how quickly time passes. He'd gained a wife and son. I'd gained a wife and daughter. Julie Delphy had filmed her version of Before Sunset. She skipped her first instalment and went right into a chaotic middle stage of a relationship with a very funny Adam Goldberg.
The relationship is doomed as both can't grasp the others feelings or opinions. They share a same sense of humour, barely, but that's about it. As a married man I could smell relationship…
“I can’t see you! I could be having sex with Gregory Peck or something!”
“Let me break the news to you. It’s not your cock that’s too big for French condoms. It’s your ego that’s too big for French condoms. And Italian condoms too.”
“I’m sitting at this fast food restaurant and I’m holding hands with this fairy right before he sets the place on fire, you know?”
“A fairy?”
“Oh, not like a gay person. Like from heaven, you know? Or a schizophrenic vegan maybe? He hated fast food.”
this is a call out post for julie delpy she hasn’t done anything wrong I just would like to get in contact with her so we can go on a date thanks
too realistic to think of it as a romcom. more like a nonromcom. it slightly traumatised me but i was very pleased with how the urban chaos skirted the psychedelic, that was very relatable
I fucking love Julie Delpy. This is an instant favorite for sure and I already want to rewatch it. And that ending. Goddamn.
This film is really sporadic. It was really funny at times and very odd at other parts. Great dialogue bits and the ending was a nice conclusion to the film.
Julie Delpy is amazing!!! She wrote, directed, edited, composed, catered, played every role, and worked the popcorn stand at every theatre opening night for this friggin movie!!!🍿
Julie Delpy takes a seat behind the camera as well as in front of it in this, her directorial debut. She also wrote the script, which after watching the film, I wouldn’t be so quick to claim. This picture, about a vacationing couple dealing with the insecurities of their two-year relationship is an immature and tired knock off of Before Sunrise/ Before Sunset. There are a couple redeeming moments throughout but Delpy and Adam Goldberg seem almost uninterested in each other for the majority of the film. The writing is stupid and condescending to intelligent people. It throws in political and social commentary so forced it feels like the cinematic equivalent of a slap in the face with a cold fish.
the scene where Julie Delpy and her mother argue over the cat had me choking over a mouthful of barbecue chips
