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.

A rather sour romantic comedy.

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

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