An American Werewolf in Paris
Starring...Tom Everett Scott, and Julie Delpy
My Rating:
I saw this movie in theatres and loved it. Sure after watching AAWIL, the special effects seemed dumbed down in this from the real man's work, to the CGI shit. But enough about that, let's hit the story...
Andy McDermott is on vacation with his friends, Brad and Chris. Andy is a gentleman when it comes to the ladies, a real caring fellow. One night, to score major daredevil points, he decides to jump off the Eiffel tower on a bungee cord. But before he can, he crosses paths with the beautiful Serafine, who decides to jump off without a bungee. While trying to talk her off, he ends up falling over the tower along with her, He saves her, gets her shoe, and when he comes flying back up, WHAM right into one of the steel beams on the tower. OUCH! When he wakes up, he finds that he must find this woman, he sends his friends out and they find the suicide note. They go to her house and finally get a lunch date with her. When an incident (funny as hell) happens at the Cafe', It seems Serafine is more then an ordinary troubled girl, who can through a guy three times her size with no problem. That night, Andy and his buds go to her house to check on her, only to be told she is at this club de Luna. They go and it turns out to be a club of WEREWOLVES! Well, Brad goes back to check to see if Serafine is there, and Chris stays with Andy. Serafine locks Brad in a cell, and comes back to try and save Andy and his friend. Worked for Andy, to bad Chris will be needing a new jugular. But Andy is bitten on his way out, the next morning, he is informed that he was bitten by a werewolf and that he is turning into one.
This film goes along the same story as the first only seemingly a little bit more entertaining, the characters are more likable in some ways and the film will have you laughing your ass off,
I say, buy this film, despite the corny CGI, this film is the pick of the litter for werewolf films. Or you could go out and rent "Wolf" with Jack Nicholson and Michelle Phiefer and be BORED for 2 hours.

"Always a good thing to know if your girlfriend is a werewolf. Doesn't really help when the mother is a walking corpse though, no. Kind of ruins the old saying, She will look like her mother..."
