“There arenu0026#39;t enough words to describe what a disappointment this movie was. As a staunch fan of 9 1/2 Weeks, I was dubious about a sequel, but even my low expectations couldnu0026#39;t match the reality of u0026quot;Love in Parisu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNothing about the movie was reminiscent of the orignal. The role of John Gray seemed more pathetic than anything else. In addition to his u0026quot;impotentu0026quot; personality, was the fact that Mickey Rourke had gotten so out of shape that he was never allowed to take his shirt off. (Thank God)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enAngie Everhart was true to form with her poor acting skills, and the plot was so weak that several scenes were obvious and badly revamped copies from the first movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe sad part is that they couldnu0026#39;t even get the scarf right. How hard is it to find/make a scarf to look like the original? This goes to show that Love in Paris is NOT a sequel. It is a movie that must stand on its own, lest it tarnish the memory of that first and great movie that it is loosely based upon. Trust me, if you experienced any type of titillation/attraction for the first movie/original characters…you do not want to see Love in Paris. Not only will you be disappointed in it, but the images of a paunchy and washed-up Mickey Rourke will erase any pleasant memories of you have of charismatic John Gray.”
