2 Days in New York Reviews

This very funny, very smart comedy about New York intellectuals meeting a French invasion of sorts is much like a Woody Allen film, but it is written and directed by Julie Delpy.

Full Review | Original Score: B

Rock tries playing it straight, but can't help himself; Delpy is lovably daffy; the film has a breezy, honest air.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

I started out thinking this is really forced and then I thought it was really self consciously cute and then I thought it was really unfunny and then I got to the point of hating it and then I wanted her to die.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

This is a catastrophically unfunny sequel in which the possibilities for a French-American culture clash are quickly doomed by the cruelly unfunny dialogue and some very bad performances.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Episodic and sluggishly paced, 2 Days in New York has no drive and no story tension and for some that won't matter since the film's manic energy seems to derive from the fact that everyone here talks fast and loud and often...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

Delpy seems fascinated by the way that time and life experience change people's perceptions and attitudes, but not their cores.

Julie Delpy's smartest move as a director is to feature Julie Delpy so prominently in her films. That endless reservoir of charm is drawn from yet again in her latest effort, an unnecessary but not unappealing sequel.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

Delpy is unlikely to set the world on fire with these farcical outings of the absurd, but it's a pleasure to see her back onscreen, doing what she loves.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A misguided breezy offbeat sitcom, that visits all the wrong places."

Full Review | Original Score: C

A meandering, spineless set of comedic sketches. Much is made of things like the name Mingus rhyming with cunnilingus, part of the general tone of candid sexual referencing that jars - not because it's shocking but because it is pointless

Full Review

In a misconceived dallying with culture clash, Julie Delpy's exploration in this disappointing follow up to 2 Days in Paris never even gets close to taking off

Full Review

A witty, winning new comedy of relationships and culture-clash that eschews complicated plotting to instead luxuriate in a fresh, fun, wound-up energy all its own.

Full Review | Original Score: B

Sitcom woes and hackneyed biography...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Like Woody Allen on speed, only with neuroses flipped into cocksureness and everyone bickering, bickering, bickering until you want to reach into the screen and punch them all in the face. It's nails on a chalkboard.

Full Review

The style is much looser and more prone to take stylistic chances (which, fortunately, pay off).

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5

This ebullient domestic comedy fairly radiates with a runner's high.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

The laughs come fast and breezy, just as Delpy intends.

Full Review | Original Score: B

While it's nowhere near a perfect film, 2 Days in New York is worth seeing, not only for the comedy but also for the realism of the smaller moments.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

[Delpy] and Rock, in the midst of free-flying French chaos, find a sweet chemistry together ...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Chris Rock shines in Julie Delpy's latest light and loose creation. But it's not on the same wonderful level as her Paris predecessor.
