This review is from: An American Werewolf in Paris (DVD)

This movie is one of the greatest werewolf tales of all time! An american teenager, visiting Paris, discovers a remarkable girl and falls in love. It turns out that she is actually only a girl by day and a bloodthirsty wolf by night, but only on nights with a full moon... The boy gets caught up with her werewolf friends and when he is bitten by his lover while trying to escape from her, he finds out that he has become a werewolf himself! Amazing special effects and an exciting plot make this one of the greatest werewolf movies of all time! An age old story set in the present, with all of the problems of a teenager combined! Brilliant!

BUY THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good movie., April 25, 2001

This review is from: American Werewolf in Paris [VHS] (VHS Tape)

First off, if you expect to see anything about David Kessler and Jack Goodman (The main characters in "An American Werewolf in London") don't watch this. It has nothing to do with any of those characters. It is it's own movie and having said that, let me add it's pretty good too. Although the f/x in "London" were much better as was the story, this still holds it's own. It has lot's of genuine scares as well as laughs, the f/x were o.k. too (Although Rick Baker should have been called back in.) If you are looking for a movie that doesn't make fun of the whole genre like the "Howling" sequels did, you will like this one. I highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A so-so sequel with some good effects, November 17, 2004

This review is from: An American Werewolf in Paris (DVD)

Being a big fan of the John Landis original I decided to give this movie a chance and sat down with some popcorn and soda and hit "play." Moments later I was shaking my head and pondering switching to one of my favorite television shows.
This movie is a pale imitation of the original `American Werewolf in London' and I imagine that the director of that 1981 classic John Landis was none to pleased to be associated with this production (in the credits it refers to using characters from the original).
Right from the get-go we can tell though that whereas the original had a wicked dry streak of humor to it (one of the tracks was `Blue Moon') this one is instead going to take a more slapstick approach.
As the movie begins we join three American friends who are on a round Europe trip taking a series of daredevil stunts. Being obviously hormone driven (they all eye-up a French girl on the train and discuss how European girls are more sophisticated), I would venture a guess they would feel quite at home in a Farrelly brothers production. Upon arrival in the French capital they sneak onto the Eiffel Tower at night and as one of them prepares to bungee jump off the top some quick thinking allows the hapless hero to save a girls life.
Left with only the girls shoe the three track down the girl down after which time they discover her deep secret.
This may be some people's idea of a great or fun movie. Personally though it was not mine and afterwards I did switch to watch Prue, Piper and Phoebe battle demons and warlocks.
One bright spot this movie does have is some pretty nifty werewolf effects
