Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Antonia Tejeda Barros "It's my mother. No tongue" (Mingus / Chris Rock)2 Days in New York is a brilliant and funny sequel to the cool 2 Days in Paris. The film was directed by Julie Delpy and written by Julie Delpy and Alexia Landeau (Rose in the film).Julie Delpy wrote Mingus' role especially for Chris Rock.The film continues describing the lack of communication between different cultures and we find hilarious scenes that are very real. As 2 Days in Paris, 2 Days in New York has a taste of Woody Allen and of European films.2 Days in New York didn't get any important award.The best: the lack of communication between different cultures, Chris Rock, Albert Delpy, the sauna scene, the yoga class and Rose's breast, the music, and the puppets.The worst: nothing.

The_late_Buddy_Ryan A follow-up to Julie Delpy's first directorial effort, "Two Days in Paris," that's quite a bit more entertaining, IMHO, than the original. The premise—JD and Chris Rock are Marion and Mingus, Downtown culture workers with two slightly troubled, adorable kids—doesn't quite fulfill its promise but fans of Richard Linklater's "Before" films might want to take a chance. The main storyline chugs along pretty nicely: the couple endures a brief visit from her elderly flowerchild father ("he says that showers deplete the immune system"), tactlesss sister and sister's doltish boyfriend. Parallel plots involving a gallery opening (she's some sort of conceptual art photog) and a colossal Lucy-style whopper she tells a neighbor to get out of a minor scrape are a little draggy, though a couple of these filler scenes have a modest payoff later on. Delpy plays pretty much the same talky, frazzled, excitable character she does in the "Before" films; Chris Rock seems a little colorless (as it were), as if he's trying too hard to escape from his standup persona (the scenes where he soliloquizes to a cardboard-cutout Obama didn't do much for me). Delpy's been accused of being a self-hating Frenchy, but I think the point is that people tend to behave as if the stuff they do in a foreign country doesn't really go on their permanent record—Sis swans around in a T-shirt that doesn't quite cover her butt, par example, Dad takes his keys to the lustrous flanks of a stretch Hummer (back home he only does that if they're parked on the sidewalk), boyfriend Manu commits every possible faux pas. The highpoint is a scene where Mingus, who writes for the Village Voice, is trying to score points with a dark-complected White House staffer (not played by Kal Penn) they run into in a café, and the sisters immediately start bickering while Manu babbles on about Harold and Kumar going to White Castle… Not a must-see at all but definitely watchable.PS—a reviewer down below insists that Marion's French connections don't act right b/c they're "gritty" Bretons, not Parisians. Au contraire! Both films make clear that Dad's a gallery owner, Sis a child psychologist and Manu some sort of writer; they're from Paris.

tieman64 "2 Days in New York" is a slight, farcical comedy from Julia Deply. It's a sequel to "2 Days in Paris", also written and directed by Deply. Both films are unofficial sequels to Richard Linklater's "Before Sunset" and "Before Sunrise"."New York" stars Deply as Marion, a French artist now living in New York. Always teetering on the verge of meltdown, she's in a relationship with Mingus (Chris Rock), a bespectacled guy who does his best to keep her sane. Visiting the couple are Marion's oddball, French family members. Much bickering, buffoonery and culture-clash giggles ensue. It's sitcom level humour, elevated somewhat by Deply's willingness to be raw and atypically crass (both films deglamourise relationships). Chris Rock is wasted in a "straight man" role.7.9/10 – Worth one viewing. Revisit Linklater instead.

Manos Petropoulos I saw this film trusting the acting skills of Chris Rock...Although this film was a really disappointment...Boring,boring,boring and nothing to offer film is all i can say in a few words.A sex-addicted old man,a psychotic girlfriend, a sister walking around naked and a man that tries to tolerate them...Really bad script and even worst characters make a movie that it turns to be difficult to watch till the end.I made it cause i was curious to figure out if there was a point of all this.But the result was that i spend one and a half hour watching a big nothing
