2 Days in New York




This 2012 comedy was incredibly entertaining and seemed very 'Woody-Allenesque' with clever, witty and large amounts of dialogue. Written by French friends and actors Julie Delpy, Alexia Landeau, and Alex Nahon and directed by Julie Delpy; this film gave a hilarious insight on what 'happily ever after' really looks like, as well as the pros and cons of marrying/dating within different cultures/races.

With a run-time of 96 minutes and enjoyment from beginning to end, it's hard for me to understand why it didn't do well at the box-office. Chris Rock who co-stars as character Mingus and Julie Delpy who plays Marion, both had believable chemistry and delivered their dynamic relationship in the most hilarious way. Delpy's father Albert Delpy, Alexia Landeau and Alex Nahon who played father, sister and ex-boyfriend respectively also gave a romping, outrageous and absurdly good performance!

Although rated R, I found the humour to be considerably tame as compared to others who made it big at the box-office like 'Bridesmaids'. All-in-all, I enjoyed '2 Days in New York', not because of New York, but perhaps because of the little things that sometimes become quite serious, and that it works out in the end always; so all the anxiety and un-necessary worry is just that…un-necessary, and looking back, everything seems funny! :))
