Critics Consensus

In addition to its titular exhortation, Forget Paris also forgets to offer rom-com fans enough romance or comedy to fill a feature worth remembering.

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

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

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

...an unabashedly old-fashioned romantic comedy that benefits from the charismatic efforts of its two stars...

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.

This was one of the first DVDs I owned, so I've seen it dozens of times. Crystal is great, Winger has no charisma and barely watchable, but the supporting cast is top notch. It's hokey, but it's so fun you don't care, even if you're kind of a movie snob and don't want to laugh at a pigeon gag. William Hickey's performance alone makes this movie a great time, and you'll be quoting the hilarious lines for weeks (or in my case, decades.) It's funny and has a genuine message about the real life challenges after a fairytale romance and learning to commit to your partner even when things aren't perfect.

I love this movie. Not too sappy, plenty of laughs, and a unique premise. Crystal and Winger play of each other so well. The supporting staff is excellent and Reiner directed it flawlessly.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I don't know if I've ever seen a rom com done this way before

I have no idea why this movie has just a 50% score. William Hickey just steals it as the Father in Law. The seagul stuck to Debra Wingers head as she tries to walk nonchalantly into the vets office? Its not your usual romantic comedy, its not supposed to be.
