The laughs come fast and breezy, just as Delpy intends.

As the motor-mouthed houseguests shatter every taboo imaginable, the happy couple begin to question their commitment.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
While it's nowhere near a perfect film, 2 Days in New York is worth seeing, not only for the comedy but also for the realism of the smaller moments.
[Delpy] and Rock, in the midst of free-flying French chaos, find a sweet chemistry together ...
Much of the alleged humor is based on French-English language gags, or cultural differences or continental mores vs. the priggishness of Americans, but it's all more irritating than funny.
"2 Days in Paris" is as self-assured as it is slight, a deliberate diversion whose winsome charms never run dry.
