Like the relationship it depicts, everything goes terribly slack in the middle.

Mr. Crystal's style as a director is smoothe and bland.

Since the stories are none too startling, it's hard to see why these otherwise bright people should be so enthusiastic about boring themselves.

With its uneven tone, Forget Paris doesn't have enough comedy or heartfelt romance to eclipse its faults.

This movie has such a naked desire to evoke the human condition, you want to throw a blanket over it.

Towards the end you wish they'd just get it over with, but this film usually overcomes even the most cynical viewer's resistance.

Some nice one-liners and a bit of good scenery help the story of a whirlwind romance that turns to salt when she later joins him Stateside.

Um roteiro divertido que inova ao investir em um casal de protagonistas mais maduro do que o habitual.

This romantic comedy tells the story of the difficult years that follow the perfect first week with a new crush. It does so using Billy Crystal's typical humor that already made Harry and Sally a cult hit. The approach may be somewhat similar here, but there is much more to it. First of all, we hear the protagonists' story through their friends words, including interruptions and contradictions. That makes for a very quirky storytelling and plenty of great jokes. But the film does not shy away from showing the ugly and disenchanting truth after long distance or weekend relationships. Thankfully, even after the sadder parts, the movie always finds its way back to the lighter side of things, especially thanks to the excellent Crystal. Overall a very true and satisfying experience.
