a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I watched this with my French class. It's the week before Spring Break, and my teacher said she would have us watch a French film. I was hoping for something along the lines of "Les Miserables," but instead we got this. So, the film starts off with two snobby, self-absorbed 13 year old girls. They use up just about every 1990s slang word within the first 10 minutes. Just as they are about to go to the dance with some boys, their parents decide to take them to Paris with their grandfather. The girls act like they have just gone bankrupt or something, they are completely depressed. Of course, this is just the start. When they arrive to Paris, their ambassador grandfather shows them around, and brings them a fellow named Jeremy to escort them around the city of love. You have your typical scenes for a "going to France" movie...but it just makes things worse. They meet French boys, they have a terrible green-screen exploration of the Louvre, and, (later on in the film,) have a shopping spree. Once they eat dinner at the French Embassy, however, they spit out all the food at the waiter. I mean, do kids think that's funny or something? Every bloody joke in this film resulted in groaning from everyone in the classroom.But here's the part that really gets me: the end of the film. Melanie and Ally are only in Paris for about three days, and at a party, they explain to the other ambassador why France should have clean water, and they explain the history of Paris. WHAT?!? They've only been there for two days, and suddenly they know all about the place?!? NO. But it gets worse when Melanie and Ally go give the stubborn French chef MCDONALD'S. Shows the kind of place America is. The chef ends up loving it, the grandfather has a change of heart and decides to let Melanie and Ally stay away from the boys he told them to leave, and Melanie and Ally go to the dance with the boys. Jeremy, the escort who BARELY MATTERED in this entire film, gets one of the hottest women in France. I get that they had to keep it simple for kids. But to test it out, I got my little sister, 8 years old, to watch this and see what she thought. She thought it was terrible. So I don't think "it's just a kids' film" will cover this film up. It is terrible. The sloppy writing, the terrible acting, the horrible music and editing, it's just an embarrassment. May God have mercy on the people who thought this was good...

I can't express how bad this movie is. I could swear and curse until the cows come home and that would *still* not express how bad it was. I don't know how Passport to Paris escaped the bottom 100 films. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. When I watched it on the TV, I had to choose between this and awesome crime series "Brigada". Since I have seen "Brigada" before, I decided to pay attention to "Passport to Paris".Well, I made a VERY wrong decision. Why is this movie so bad? First of all, it has all the cliches ever produced by Hollywood, like the two spoiled brats who only want to be pretty and popular and the French guys with horrible accents. They even complained that they wanted a stereotypical grandfather. Thank God there were no rednecks whth shotguns and terrorists. The plot is ridiculous, and the cast is really bad. I believe the Olsens do horrible, awful, terrible jobs, but since they are no great actresses, the outcome is below average. This movie has no sudden moves, no intrigue, no humor, no philosophical or political idea, and in genital it is as shallow as "Lord of the Rings", for example. Avoid at all costs. Right in the first second, I was ready to barf. I would not recommend this movie to my worst enemy. How come that stupid Jeremy guy didn't have the keys when Allie and Mel locked him out of the limo? Seriously, I don't get how this got a release. It's absolutely awful. This movie drags and drags, and has well, about 0 good qualities. I was literally kicking myself for having wasted my time to view this horrendous, atrocious mess of a movie. The plot is lame and very forced, the acting is awful at best, and the story is more than predictable. I understand that this was no attempt to make another Citizen Kane or anything, but God, this is painful to watch! If you are looking for good family entertainment and to get your girls out of your hair, there are millions of other options. However, if you are looking to torture yourself and/or others, then check this movie out...it's something that you will forget, though more than likely you'll wish you could. It started out decent, but however, early in the movie, it takes a turn for the worse: it starts looping in an endless chain of cliches, which have been done in every Olsen movie.If you have seen this movie, I am very sorry. I sat through this horrendous movie one afternoon and wound up actually beating myself for it. The acting is atrocious, but what do you expect from two young girls. A hell of a lot more. The Olsens are the worst actresses on planet Earth, their facial expressions were cringe making, their delivery was just awful and they were unbelievably over-the-top. The script was just terrible, and there was absolutely no value or excitement whatsoever AT ALL to this film. The events are both predictable, and *extremely* unlikely. The worst part about it is there aren't even any laughable aspects as in other horrible movies such as Troll 2 or Manos: The Hands of Fate. If you haven't seen this movie, don't go out of your way to see it. Actually, do everything you can to avoid to be in 5 feet of this movie. I think it's a crime to recommend this as family movie. The only thing that's decent about it is the Paris scenery and the good soundtrack, and that is pretty bad as well. I feel quite sorry for all of you who have viewed even one second of it, and actually LIKE it! I cannot believe there's people out there who actually think this movie is good. The part where the paintings fly over the Olsens heads, was so weak and cheesy. Many kids would KILL to go to Europe, yet the stupid girls complain that they have to miss the Spring Fling dance in which 2 slimy guys asked them to. Boys only like Allie and Mel because they're pretty, and that's the raw truth. Even the mom and dad admits that their world is the size of a pin. They also ran off with the French boys, who they only knew for like, what, 1 hour?? They could be rapists for all they know! But, yet, they're not, since everything is great and happy in the end. The part where they're bread stick sword-fighting was very stupid. I don't know how the Jeremy guy can even keep his job. He can't even control a banana, and the girls were almost as stupid as one. The twins get away with running away, locking out Jeremy, etc., man this movie is just messed up. I wasted all my time and felt like I had just been beaten with a stick. 0/10.

the boys were the most appealing things in the entire movie. the girls were lame and pathetic, i mean, how can they own their own clothing line, dolls, movies, producing studios, and not smell this bomb from far away? in order to gain some sort of responsibility, which i dont really see the sense in the punishment..., they are sent to paris, far far far away from home to live with the so-called strict grandfather who holds an important standing with paris. i cant really remember what he was, so who really cares? the detail doesnt help, the girls are sent to paris to learn something.. so what exactly do they learn when they meet two french boys and are able to manipulate the guy that supposed to watch them so they can meet these guys on scooters? the typical pre-teen movie, having all pre-teens wishing to misbehave and be able to afford the trip to paris or some far away country away from parents? i dont really like the olsens anyways, they never could really shake off the image of michelle, on full house... in case you didnt see that, then you were lucky from the start. (F F-)

I've watched this movie a few times and it just gets worse every time. At first I thought this movie was... cute. I mean the twins' clothes weren't so bad. The guys are quite fortunate-looking, lousy accent aside, though I cannot understand what these seemingly normal boys see in those two self-centered, shallow, spoiled brats. Anyway the Olsen twins acted horrendously as expected. However in this Olsen movie, and, I've noticed, the ones after, BOTH of the girls are bimbos wearing too much make-up and drooling over boys. Previously one of them would have a grungier style and a clearer conscience. Like all Olsen movies, the plot is predictable and the twins managed to save themselves and in this case the rest of France. I really don't recommend watching it more than once, especially if you're not into family movies.
