An American Werewolf in Paris

An enjoyably trashy blend of impressive special effects, low-key refs to Landis's movie, and sudden moments of horror breaking the jokey tone.

Given Waller's experience and budget, one might expect he could upgrade the B-movie acting and stock situations. He doesn't. The pay-off comes not in the story or acting, but the camera play and movement.

Delpy and Scott are able to put it over. She's French and deep and mysterious. He's a fresh-faced American, an open book. Liking them makes it possible to (kinda) like this otherwise routine horror movie.

Delpy's injection of class into an otherwise classless production raises the specter of what this film could have been with a better script and a better cast surrounding her.

The cruddy, shot-in-a-warehouse settings are especially depressing, since the computer-generated special effects seem to be taking place in another movie entirely (a far livelier one). [9 Jan 1998, p. 47]

Ugly Americans in Paris have run-ins with the native werewolf culture in this horror-for-laughs story, in which the characters' stupidity and the deadpan acting are out of sync--instead of being campy or clever, the plot and performances are just unconvincing.

It's all too silly to bother. Without style and attitude, nothing gets old faster than horror.

One of the best products to roll off the prolific multihyphenate’s Atlanta-based assembly line, largely absent the pandering humor and finger-wagging moralism that have bedeviled many of Perry’s earlier (if undeniably popular) efforts.

Фильм мне понравился своим сюжетом и отличной игрой актеров, смотрится на одном дыхании.

While I did not enjoy the first film an american werewolf in Paris is dreadful in almost every category. The acting is horrible including Julie Delpy who was so good in before sunrise and sunset. The film is not scary or funny it trades stupid humor over campyness and horrible CG instead of dark make-up werewolves. I hated all the characters and the relationship between the two leads.

How 'An American Werewolf in London' spawned a sequel as terrible as 1997's 'An American Werewolf in Paris' is completely beyond me. SYNOPSIS: 'An American man unwittingly gets involved with French werewolves who have developed a serum allowing them to transform at will.'How did they get this so wrong? I don't think a sequel has been this inferior to its horror classic predecessor....EVER!!!There's just nothing good about this.Lacks the style, wit and suspense of Landis' original works. It's just not funny, it's not scary and it's just not worth your time to watch it.This could be one of the worst films ever.1/10

This movie **** when it came out, and it has aged horribly. The CGI is awful, the story is stale, and the laughs are forced. An American Werewolf in London is way better.
