    An enjoyably trashy blend of impressive special effects, low-key refs to Landis's movie, and sudden moments of horror breaking the jokey tone.
  2. Delpy and Scott are able to put it over. She's French and deep and mysterious. He's a fresh-faced American, an open book. Liking them makes it possible to (kinda) like this otherwise routine horror movie.
  3. 38
    Delpy's injection of class into an otherwise classless production raises the specter of what this film could have been with a better script and a better cast surrounding her.
  4. A slapdash, poorly acted, paint-by-numbers teen horror comedy, the sequel is too frenetically edited to build any suspense, and its special effects are strictly bargain basement.

  2. While I did not enjoy the first film an american werewolf in Paris is dreadful in almost every category. The acting is horrible including Julie Delpy who was so good in before sunrise and sunset. The film is not scary or funny it trades stupid humor over campyness and horrible CG instead of dark make-up werewolves. I hated all the characters and the relationship between the two leads. Expand
