Reviews:
“The movie is half in French. It is definitely to your advantage if you don't speak French, because a key plot element is how Jack (Adam Goldberg) becomes so regularly frustrated by not understanding the language.” By Robert Current
“I never thought I'd laugh my way through the movie, as from the get go, 2 Days in Paris contains extremely witty dialogue in rapid fire, and almost every character gets into the act, either intentionally (like Jack and his constant sarcasm), or through various situations the couple get into.” By Dick Steel
“Culture shock sets in at the first meal, braised rabbit. You'd think Anna and Jeannot could try the merciful American tactic of calling it "chicken" but perhaps when you serve the rabbit head along with its eyeballs, it looks like a chicken that has been fed too many hormones.” By Roger Ebert
“If nothing else, this is Julie Delpy's movie. She wears every major hat except cinematographer. Her fingerprints are all over it. If this is the kind of production that attracts her, it's easy to see the appeal of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset to her.” By James Berardinelli
