Critic Reviews

Derek Elley

An enjoyably trashy blend of impressive special effects, low-key refs to Landis's movie, and sudden moments of horror breaking the jokey tone. Read full review

Andy Seiler

The computer animation of the monsters here is a herky-jerky cartoon blur that is anything but scary.

Liam Lacey

Given Waller's experience and budget, one might expect he could upgrade the B-movie acting and stock situations. He doesn't. The pay-off comes not in the story or acting, but the camera play and movement. Read full review

James Berardinelli

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. Read full review

Stephen Holden

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. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Any plot discipline (necessary so that we care about some characters and not the others) has been lost in an orgy of special effects and general mayhem. Read full review

Stephen Hunter

It's all too silly to bother. Without style and attitude, nothing gets old faster than horror. Read full review

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 ofWhile 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

This movie sucked when it came out, and it has aged horribly. The CGI is awful, the story is stale, and the laughs are forced.

An American Werewolf in London is way better.
