Review For 2 Days in New York |
The laughs come fast and breezy, just as Delpy intends. Tom Long-Detroit News
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. Amanda Mae Meyncke-Film.com
Much of the alleged humor is based on French-English language gags, or cultural differences or continental mores vs. the priggishness of Americans, but it's all more irritating than funny. John Anderson-Newsday
"2 Days in Paris" is as self-assured as it is slight, a deliberate diversion whose winsome charms never run dry. Sam Adams-Los Angeles Times
A manic and funny, if ultimately frustrating, sequel. Jess Righthand-Washington Post
It's extremely funny, one of the funniest films of 2012, with a particularly winning style - far-fetched, extreme and nonstop. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
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. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
Rock tries playing it straight, but can't help himself; Delpy is lovably daffy; the film has a breezy, honest air. Jim Schembri-3AW
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. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia)
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. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia)
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... Peter Galvin-sbs.com.au
Delpy seems fascinated by the way that time and life experience change people's perceptions and attitudes, but not their cores. Cara Nash-FILMINK (Australia)
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. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
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. Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age
A misguided breezy offbeat sitcom, that visits all the wrong places." Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
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 Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
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 Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
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. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
Sitcom woes and hackneyed biography... John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
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. Tricia Olszewski-Washington City Paper
The style is much looser and more prone to take stylistic chances (which, fortunately, pay off). Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
This ebullient domestic comedy fairly radiates with a runner's high. Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle
[Delpy] and Rock, in the midst of free-flying French chaos, find a sweet chemistry together ... Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
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. Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer
