What to Know

Critics Consensus

In addition to its titular exhortation, Forget Paris also forgets to offer rom-com fans enough romance or comedy to fill a feature worth remembering.

James G @Aframe Feb 2 I love this movie. Not too sappy, plenty of laughs, and a unique premise. Crystal and Winger play of each other so well. The supporting staff is excellent and Reiner directed it flawlessly. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 4 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Noel L @RT15930389 Oct 20 I don't know if I've ever seen a rom com done this way before See more Shay W @RT24244689 Jul 27 I have no idea why this movie has just a 50% score. William Hickey just steals it as the Father in Law. The seagul stuck to Debra Wingers head as she tries to walk nonchalantly into the vets office? Its not your usual romantic comedy, its not supposed to be. See more Gnr E @RT37822449 07/20/2024 What a wonderful relationship! I want it so bad See more BJ M @HotMovieStar 03/26/2023 I think this is an underrated movie. It was funny and also realistic and sensitive concerning love and romance. It would be a great date movie. NBA fans would get a kick out of some of the scenes. See more Read all reviews
