We'll Never Have Paris (2015)

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Blistering performances.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever watched and I'll never get those hours back. If this is what Simon's work is like, he needs to stick to just acting and playing the piano, which he does best. Really crappy movie!

I gave this movie a 3 because I really like Melanie Lynskey & I was excited to see Judith Light. I was only going to give it a 2, but Melanie was really delightful. I found the character "Quinn" beyond infuriating. The closing scene, where she is upset (but calm) & he has a FIT & is begging & screaming at her feet....unbelievably annoying. While this might be cute for some people, I found it disgusting. Behavior like that might be endearing the first or second time, but after ten years it will be the foremost issue in their relationship. Why? Because when she is upset he doesn't comfort her, he freaks out & forces her to comfort him. She never gets heard or comforted, she gets to spend the relationship in a cycle of him being the victim of every sick decision he makes. You can't create the situation & then claim to be a victim of it. My spouse & I were horrified that this was labeled as "romance".

I feel compelled to write this review just to counter some of the negative statements in other reviews. I actually enjoyed this film quite a bit, and I must say, had more than a few laughs. While I'm not someone who likes slapstick, which there wasn't much of here, I love sarcasm, and this film had its sarcastic moments. We'll Never Have Paris is an ironic title because I, for one, felt the best part of the film was when they were in Paris. There were some truly satiric moments, for example when Quinn was standing against a wall, beneath a street sign, smoking, and then huffing his way up the church steps. Likewise in the cemetery. All these scenes were mocking well-known scenes from French films of the past. I found the character of Quinn interesting and likable, if not annoying at times... similar to Woody Allen, as others have noted. Simon Helberg has much in common with WA, as the nerdy/smart, slender/not too handsome Jewish man who is sexy nonetheless. I found his relationship with Devon believable though I think there should have been a bit more about why she ultimately made her choice. I loved how Quinn knew he didn't want to be with Kelsey by his focusing in on the gross details in her bathroom... The film had a few other details like this which, though they may have been obvious, really worked, like when he, in the context of competing with another man for the woman he loved, was given a footstool to sit on at the dinner table.I think if you like humor that's both subtle and sarcastic, you'll like this film which, to me, is both romantic and funny.

-We'll Never Have Paris is a limited release film about a loser who, after dating a girl for 10 years, decides to finally propose. He then is almost unintentionally drawn into two different relationships, causing his girl to run away for Paris and hi to go after her and beg her forgiveness.-I saw it because Zachary Quinto was in it. Really that is the only reason. What I got was not a terrible movie, but it not that good.-The story would be cliché, cheesy, predictable, and over-the-top rom-com. However it is actually based on a true story, which is one of the best things the film has going for it.-The pace was not great, but I did not find it slow, just uneven.-The acting was a balance between good and bad. So yeah. It stars the guy who plays Howard Walawitz, and he did a fine job. The girl did a fine job. The daughter from taken did a fine job. And Zachary Quinto did a fine job. But nobody was more than just fine.-The characters are interesting to watch and entertainingly inconsistent, but most of the supporting characters don't seem to serve much of a purpose. Another problem with them is that you don't like any of them.-The music was interesting. Most of it was French, but they only spent the last 1/3rd of the film in France, so it did not seem to really fit that much.-So one of the worst things about the film is that it I a comedy, but I only laughed once in the entire film. It is also a 'romantic' movie, with only one romantic moment. So it really did not succeed at what it was trying to be.-Also, We'll Never Have Paris is rated-R and would have been the same or better if it were PG-13. It has some language in it, but not consistently harsh. It also has a strong PG-13 amount of sexual content.-So We'll Never Have Paris has a few small elements, like a good finale, that are entertaining, but it really did not succeed as a comedy or a romantic movie. Combine that with characters you don't really like and you get a film you have no attachment to. I'm going to say that We'll Never Have Paris really just isn't worth the time.
