A Disappointing Continuation
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This is not a movie. This is a very expensive pay off to the Delpy clan. The end product is a feel good publicity for the French. Yet the joke is on the French public, the actual nice of this movie. Everything is carefully white washed. From racist remarks. To the smallest details. Like the heroic father who refused to kill the civilians who rose for independence and it is said he had to wash military toilets. All dirty in the distasteful ensuing slideshow. All toilet bowls with toilet seats. Although in 2017 there are many public places that DO NOT have a toilet bowl, just a hole in the floor. And the public places that do have a toilet bowl either do not have a seat, or the seat is somewhere fallen to the side.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
"It's my mother. No tongue" (Mingus / Chris Rock)2 Days in New York is a brilliant and funny sequel to the cool 2 Days in Paris. The film was directed by Julie Delpy and written by Julie Delpy and Alexia Landeau (Rose in the film).Julie Delpy wrote Mingus' role especially for Chris Rock.The film continues describing the lack of communication between different cultures and we find hilarious scenes that are very real. As 2 Days in Paris, 2 Days in New York has a taste of Woody Allen and of European films.2 Days in New York didn't get any important award.The best: the lack of communication between different cultures, Chris Rock, Albert Delpy, the sauna scene, the yoga class and Rose's breast, the music, and the puppets.The worst: nothing.
I have started to watch this movie without reading anything about it, just checked that it is a comedy. Although the plot seems to be interesting the movie seems not to be as much of a comedy as you might think. Yes, of course the bad European habits seem to be taken from real life, but in fact they are much overdrawn. In fact as for a comedy it seems not so funny at all, however the good acting of the main characters, some really funny situations save this movie from being a waste of time. The most interesting plot for me was selling of your soul to someone – this kept me thinking for a while. Watching this one made me feel that I might have done something better with my time, but If you have some spare time and do not have a better thing to do you might even enjoy this one.
After watching 2 Days in New York i simply don't wan't to see the prequel. What amazed me, though, is that every single member of the cast did an excellent job. Even the script offers a fair amount of funny situation which leaves you with the question what went wrong.In my case this ended up with Chris Rock (otherwise not my cup of tea) creating the most lovable character of them all. The French family visiting is a bunch of logorrheic maniacs. It actually didn't matter where they came from, since their behaviour has nothing to do with geography rather with psychiatry. Smaller characters break up this verbal orgy once in a while...
