Sorry, this movie sucks

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I discovered Julie Delpy in the "Before..." trilogy and was thrilled to see she's written, directed and acted in these two "2 Days..." films. Seeing "2 Days In Paris" shortly before viewing this movie was helpful because there's so much that carries over from that original to this sequel.Everything about this movie appeals to me. The entertaining mix of farcical humor (low art) and metaphysical inquiry (high art) is reminiscent of Woody Allen's best work. And the quality of the writing is high. The dialogue Julie crafts sounds authentic and makes the characters credible.Also charming is her choice of cast-members. I'm a big fan of Daniel Brühl from his superb work in "Rush" (and "Inglourious Basterds"), so seeing him in cameos in these two films is a delight. And adding the infamous artist who plays the purchaser of Julie's character's soul is inspired. I leapt with joy at seeing that surprise.Independent film exists for personal, well-crafted art and Julie Delpy is supplying us with some nice work. I'll follow her future efforts without exception.

Seems minor and not as good as it could have been but its comic energy is irrepressible. NYC is colorful and chaotic, and when part of Marion (Delpy's) Parisian family of origin lands all heck breaks loose. Rock is a revelation as the boyfriend, though his monologues with a life-size Obama cut-out don't work especially well (I too like Obama). And the ending is 2-3 minutes of sappy affirmation but before that we get an invigorating interplay of personalities and ideas. Sounds pretentious, maybe, but I found it really funny. The 5-minute or so send-up of the contemporary art world presumes a certain familiarity. That's probably the limitation here: it's aimed at a type of audience that either gets it or not. But even if you don't catch every reference, relax and have fun with it.

Cross culture comedy about French people experiencing New York. Chris Rock plays the love interest to Julie Delpy whose family come to visit. Middle brow comedy and philosophical musing ensues.Julie Delpy does well to direct a quirky comedy with Chris Rock in the lead. The racial stereo typing, which could have so easily been the focus, are kept to a minimum. What remains in focus is the belief that the movie stands for something boldly satirical with regards to art and modern perceptions of family, this in itself is commendable and makes the movie a curio for the art house crowd.The main weakness is that the premise is nothing new and the middle class bubble in which the couple are so neatly wrapped up in (she's an artist and he's a radio DJ) precludes the characters from ever gaining any sympathy from the audience. Thus the soul searching and Gaelic bite that the Delpy character regularly exhibits really don't hit home.Chris Rock does very well in a smart leading man role, and in many ways keeps the movie chugging along (there is a potential hilarious comedy about Chris Rock's character that went unexplored). The French cast are genuinely believable and do not over play the fish out of water card. The script has it's moments and keeps a well rounded level of interest. Hopefully the upshot of this movie is that Chris Rock will get more straight roles in the future and have a better chance to flex his comedic muscles in more relevant comedies beyond the likes of Grown Ups 2.

"Ever since your family got here you've become another person." Mingus (Rock) and Marion (Delpy) are a married couple trying to make it in New York. Both have a child from a previous marriage and that is a hard enough struggle. When Marion's family visits from Paris tensions begin to tighten to a breaking point between everyone. Mingus wonders if they will be able to last without killing someone. The best way to describe this is as a Woody Allen type movie (Woody had nothing to do with this) but that is the feel that it has. The comedy and humor is very offbeat but funny. The dialog in many places is witty and carries the movie. I have to say that this is a strange movie to see Chris Rock in, he does do a good job though, but it's still weird. The movie is pretty good, but the ending got a little bizarre. This is still basically a movie about crazy in-laws but it is pretty funny and worth seeing. Overall, if you are a fan of Woody Allen then you will probably like this movie. I give it a B-.
