Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Serious, getting to see Paris Hilton in the embarrassing positions she winds up in during this film makes it all worthwhile. Seriously, who else deserves to take it in the face and have everyone see who's got $17.99 to spare? Maybe Nicole Ritchie, but Paris is the ultimate "I'm famous cuz I'm famous, but I'm really just a rich, talentless air-headed tramp" skank gets hers, at the hands (and camera) of her ex-boyfriend, and in various naughty positions to boot. You will not regret being witness to...um, wait, this isn't One Night in Paris? Oops. My bad.*grin*

Sorry to say, but this one completely misses the bulls eye! It could have been an interesting film as Rourke as John trying to find Elizabeth (Kim Basinger's previous role in the first film) was a good plot to go with; John feeling lonely, haunted by her memory, unable to open up and let go even with this red head chick. Interesting themes of love never dying and moving on could have been explored. However, the director didn't pull it off, didn't really know how to take it and that shows.What a shame. Honestly, just watch this film if it's on on a late Friday night and you are not hitting the town, or because you are a big fan of Mickey. Really, it does not deliver, and its a shame because it could have been a chance for this film to outshine 9 and 1/2 weeks, the first movie. Sorry folks!

9 1/2 Weeks, the predecessor, wasn't much but it was a masterpiece compared to this film, which is incoherent, unerotic and much too long. In other words, a colossal bore on every count. I never did think much of Mickey Rourke as an actor but he had a certain magnetism when he was young. In this movie, he looks like a dissipated wreck and he never exhibits any attractive characteristics that would explain the behavior of the young women that throw themselves in his destructive path. In the version I saw it was called, not Love in Paris, but Another 9 1/2 Weeks, and it seemed more like Another 9-1/2 Years.

All that really stands out in my mind is the poor acting from "Lea". This movie lacked all purpose, and what made it worse was the poor excuse for acting from an otherwise talented model. Slow moving, lacked any depth in it's scenes, and made the first movie look like a masterpiece. Overall, not very good at all.
