Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
nickboldrini Form the opening bungee jump this tries to be an adrenalin charged version of the first film, but it just falls flat in so many ways The central romance is unconvincing, the story just has too many daft elements, and this just misses the simplicity of the original, and tries to be more "interesting" by being more complex, but just ends up a mess
Armand the only problem is the absence of its genre. is it a comedy ? a horror ? a form of publicity for Paris ? an uninspired remake? clear, that it is a great mystery. in essence, it is only a kind of joke. nice in few scenes, hilarious in others, who has not sense and, maybe, not script, chain of chaotic events without reason. Julie Delpy looks for right manner to solve the appearances. Tom Everett Scott is more confuse than the viewer. and the werewolves are only sketches. a horror for fun. that could be all. except the ideas about better solutions for a project who has not chance to convince. result - not exactly a bad movie but only waste of time.
FlashCallahan The daughter of the werewolf from the London based movie, is living in Paris where her mother and stepfather are trying to overcome her lycanthropic disease.Three American tourists on a trip around Europe manage to stop her from plunging to her death from the top of the Eiffel tower and become embroiled in a plot involving a secret society of werewolves based in the city.But these are using a drug which allows them to change at any time so there's no need for a full moon...Another year, another pointless sequel, and this time they go on a Eurotrip.From the upstart, it looks very dodgy, and the humour is more than forced in this sequel. The makers try and connect the film with Julie Delpy, but this just adds insult to the first movie.Scott is a poor lead, and never convinces, and talking about convincing, the CGI is some of the worse I have ever seen. If you think the CGI in spawn was bad, the wolves in this are beyond ridiculous, and detract any sort of tension the movie may have had.The first film is homaged a little with the dream within a dream sequence, but again, it's handled poorly.Stick with the first movie, it's a classic, and there's no bungee jumping in sight..
Neil Welch 1981's An American Werewolf in London was, on its own terms, a great success - a clever concept served by an effective script which kept its horror and comedic elements in perfect balance, an excellent cast performing well, assisted by highly effective physical effects in a story with great heart.One need say no more about this ill-considered and ridiculously belated follow-up than to note that it is an idiotic concept doomed by a clodhopping script which renders its horror elements ineffective by burying them under misplaced and unfunny humour, a so-so cast doing their best with inadequate material, hamstrung by stunningly bad CGI effects in a story with a complete absence of any emotional weight.
