Two Days in Paris

France   w/d Julie Delpy

Not a reprise of her Linklater films. Here she and her extremely neurotic NYC boyfriend have a series of encounters with her rude, crude, potty-mouthed family and a string of her former swains in her native Paris, all of which lead to embarrassing scenes, conflicts and some scattered laughs.

This was fast-paced and had the fascination of a train wreck. She has them reconciling at the end although why either of these people would choose the other as a life partner seems more than a little bit insane. Ah...but such is love. Or is it?

Amusing and held me so it succeeded as a film but as life lesson...not so much.
