Fim Review: 2 Days in Paris

2 Days In Paris
I just spent 2 hours enjoying myself in Paris. Julie Delpy is one talented beautiful lady. She wrote, directed and acted in this whimsical comedy. Julie plays the part of Marion. Marion and her boyfriend, Jack comes to Paris from the United States to visit her birth city. Jack is a hypochondriac and very insecure .He also can be rude as when he gave very wrong directions to a group of tourists. He isn’t too impressed with her apartment and finds fault with a lot of things. He is also adorable but who could live with him?. Marion keeps bumping into her past loves. This further aggravates Jack. We meet Marion’s family and her friends. Her father is an artist of rather pornographic like pictures. I must say I didn’t find him too believable. Her mother was a character. Maybe her sister had it right when she said,” We’re shallow with bourgeoisie problems.” I love the scenes in Paris. I was sorry when they argued but didn’t take it all too seriously. One of the characters states that it is hard being in a relationship. What else is new? It is a summer frolic and good entertainment. I enjoyed my 2 Days In Paris from the cool comfort of a cinema here in Toronto
