TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

MartinHafer "Another 9 1/2 Weeks" has been on and off IMDb's Bottom 100 list for the last few years. It's on and off because it's near the bottom of the list and occasionally other films knock it off...though eventually it seems to find its way back. Currently it's #99--and it being on the list is why I decided to watch this film. Although I have reviewed tons of art and foreign films, occasionally I like to see a really, really bad movie--one that is so bad that it gives me a good laugh. Well, I must say that "Another 9 1/2 Weeks" is terrible...but I didn't recall laughing even once. It just wasn't an enjoyable experience on any level.I am sure that many tried watching this film to see copious nudity. After all, that's what made the first one famous. However, despite Angie Everhart being a very, very beautiful woman, you never really see that much of her and so often parts of her are strategically hidden. So what you are left with is like a mild R or even PG-13 rated porn film--with a plot that seems about the quality of a porno. And, I am pretty sure MOST people don't watch explicit films because of the great acting or complex plots!! The film picks up a few years after the first one. Mickey Rourke arrives in Paris and is trying to follow the trail of his old fling, Elizabeth. However, Kim Bassinger (Elizabeth in the first film) wouldn't appear in this film, so you know he won't get his lady love. In the meantime, he meets one of her bizarro friends (Everhart) and she spends most of the film jerking Mickey around (and not in a good way). As for Mickey, he spends all his time brooding and grunting. And, ultimately, you learn that Elizabeth was dead and this other woman knew this all along. Does it sound romantic? Does it sound sexy? The plot is too thin for most porn films. It rarely makes sense and is never interesting. Rourke mostly grunts and Elizabeth behaves like a women who is off her meds. But the worst part about it is that it really isn't sexy. I really have no idea what they were thinking when they made this one...but it's pretty limp (double entendre intended) and not worth your time--even if you are a bad film buff.

Anders Twetman I didn't realize that this was a sequel until minutes before seeing it. I just found it on the bottom 100 list and decided to see it because of that, so my judgment is based solely on it's own merits, without influence from the previous film. I must say that I don't think it deserves a place in the bottom 100, I actually liked the extremely dark, almost suicidal tone in the beginning but about 35 minutes in, the whole movie shifts direction completely, becoming some kind of "Eyes wide shut" parody. I found myself asking "why is this happening?" over and over again throughout the second act of the film but at least something was going on. The last part of the film was just dreary, a drawn out sequence of nothing with dialog long winded leading nowhere, I was so close to just skipping to the end. Love in Paris (or Another 9 and a half weeks) could have been good but ended up being totally and utterly meh.

largo-9 This movie has got only two things to offer:an aging Mickey Rourke and a good soundtrack.There is supposed to be two main characters but Angie Everhart does anything but acting.Combining with the imperfection of the storyline,the failure to give her part a believable depth make the story look so pretentious.However Love in Paris slightly survives thanks to the acting of Mickey Rourke.He gives a rememberable performance as John Gray who,after years,still lives in the past and is unable to forget Elisabeth - played by Kim Basinger in the first part.After his affair with Elisabeth,he is now a man bored of life and in the brink of a suicide who has nothing to hold on till he finds out a way to alter his biggest mistake.So he flies to Paris hoping for a new life.Except the strong performance from Rourke playing John Gray a man who had turned out to be a vulnerable romantic obsessed with the woman he let go from being the fantasy seeking player he had used to be,this movie has nothing else.No acting,no intelligence,no style - although there is a modest effort to form one - and most importantly no intention to tell anything.Just another example of wasting such a good actor.But at least it can make you think about the chances you missed,the misjudgments you did in your life.It sure made me do.

smatysia This film truly bored me. Roarke looks terrible, Angie Everhart's character went nowhere. The storyline is incomprehensible.
