So I just got done watching "An American Werewolf
in Paris" with the Dude, and I've got to say that I thought it
was a great movie - The kind of movie a bunch of guys could sit
around and watch while pushing back a few beers. But then
again… If a bunch of guys were sitting around drinking
why wouldn't they be watching porn? Anyway… Unlike the
movie that proceeded it, "An American Werewolf in London,"
this movie, whether intentionally done or not, was less serious and
a lot more fun to watch. Also, unlike the first installment,
it seems that those involved spent less time on special effects
(well, alright, the werewolves were pretty cool, and I suppose
difficult to manage) and the whole legend thing, but were more
concerned with keeping the audience entertained (I hope this is what
they were going for, because if they were going for a classic
thriller, this movie failed miserably.) Plus there is some
Grade A tail in this movie. Again, another reason that makes
this a guy movie and not a chick flick.
"An American Werewolf in Paris" tells the story of
three goofball, daredevil, bungee jumping Americans in the wrong
place at the wrong time. When Andy (Tom Everett Scott) saves
the life of the beautiful Serafine (Julie Delpy) by bungeeing off
the Eiffel Tower as she throws herself to her hopeful death, he
unwittingly gets himself caught up in the whole werewolf
mystique. One thing leads to another, yadda, yadda, yadda…
He's now a werewolf, one of his buddies is dead, and he falls for
Serafine who, herself, is a werewolf. This may all sound
boring, but it's really not. The movie's comedic action keeps
you interested and there are a few unpredicted twists. This is
no Ms. Marble mystery, but it ain't 'Ernest Shoots his Foot,' or
something. So yadda, yadda, yadda (I miss "Seinfeld"),
Andy and Serafine are being chased by the werewolves and cops
through the sewers of Paris (yuck!). In the end boy gets girl
and the bad nasty werewolves are dead.
Predictable? Sure, a little, but entertaining
nonetheless. That being the case I give "An American
Werewolf in Paris" 4 out of 5 stars and highly recommend that
you pick it up next time you're walking down the video rental
aisle. I'm Stu Gotz - 'Nuff said. |
