Yes very funny part. Also when he says 'her mother's a slut too', that part made me laugh.

most funny scene for me was when they were having rabbit for lunch and they gave him also a carrot and he said soemthing like "Great, we get to eat the little bunny's food too"
shareWhat about when he ran into those American tourists he mis-guided at the beginning?! I couldn't stop laughing!
shareNo, but I did laugh a lot during this movie. Especially during scenes when 'chaos ensues', as when the parents' apartment is flooded and her mother keeps screaming, *beep* *beep* Julie Delpy just tends to absorb it all and roll with it, while Adam Goldberg keeps getting freaked out. Somehow, I think she would have calmly gotten up from the table in McDonald's and just followed the crowd out the door - when there was a fire - while Adam Goldberg has the reaction, 'Whatthe Eff!'
shareI still laugh thinking of the scene with snails going "we have 2 penises we have 2 penises"
hahaha this was probably my most favorite part (in which also i laughed the most). i can say how deeply influential this film is on relating to each other in some way when in a relationship. it also enlightened me once i realized the similarities in my own relationship as well. ahhemm- julie delpy is a talented one.
sharei laughed really hard for some reason when he tried to stare down the weird guy on the subway.
share"i laughed really hard for some reason when he tried to stare down the weird guy on the subway. "
I did too. I had tears from that one, along with so many other scenes.
I cheese sandwich you
The first time I laughed out loud is when she asked if she looked fat and he's like, "Well no ..well you look fat but.."
I think I loved this movie because the whole thing just sounded like casual, funny conversation from a always goofy couple. It didn't sound scripted.

I didn't laugh, that part was ridiculous. I can't stand politically correct a$$holes like Delpy. What the *beep* does it matter, the guy's a friggin' taxi driver and she goes completely beserk.
France is being overrun by immigrants (have you been to France lately?) changing the entire nation and a jerk like Delpy thinks anyone who disagrees with that policy is automatically a "Nazi".
She IS the intolerant Bolshevik, like most politically correct liberals. share
Talk about intolerant! Wow...
I have been to France several times and it is hardly being overrun by immigrants. No more than the U.S. and I wonder what your intolerance thinks of that too? Why are the immigrants there? They were invited in, or allowed to come in, why should they not be a part of the fabric of the country?
Delpy makes no comments concerning immigration and in fact the cab driver insults Germans also, hardly a large immigrant group in France. Looks like to me she is pointing out the mans overall intolerance and most likely YOU do not like it as it points to your own intolerance. You ARE that cab driver.
Well...
My favourite part would have to me when Marion's mum told Jack about her affair with Jim Morrison in '69.

I agree that this scene made the least sense in the movie but in Delpy's defense, the cab driver in this scene did say some offensive things (particularly about Americans and women, the latter of which Delpy happens to be) so it is no surprise why she reacted the way she did. He wasn't a helpless immigrant whom Delpy was attacking because she felt he, as a foreigner, was a threat to her country but rather it was his own backwards, misogynistic, agoraphobic announcements that depicted him as the very things Delpy so emphatically said.
I don't know why you had to drag politics into this. Delphy is well-known liberal who doesn't hide her point of view in her personal or professional life and if you are bothered by this then don't watch her movies. Maybe you could write a script called "2 days in Bethel" starring Sarah Palin for all the die-hard conservatives out there.
I'm not a “die-hard conservative,” just an average one. I returned from Paris two days ago and watched this film on Showtime because it takes place there. I found Paris wonderful as ever, having visited 4 times over 20 years. It is hardly overflowing with immigrants. The cabdriver scene illustrates Julie's character; he was an intolerant bigot and deserved her knee-jerk reaction. Personally, i wouldn't have given the nincompoop so much energy. The French saying ”Cela ne vaut la salive“ (It's not worth the spit) applies here.
Julie Delpy is a triple talent writing, directing and starring in her film. I was especially surprised to find Adam Goldberg so good (and refreshing) as her American boyfriend. He isn't the typical 'leading man' but Julie casting was right on the mark in this outstanding film.
P.S. I especially liked when Adam told that French racist that he considered himself “an American,” and that his religion was his own personal business. Bravo!

When I told my husband about that scene he said that when he was in graduate school he had a colleague in France who would complain about his university, and when my husband would ask what the problem was the friend would reply that it was "French problems." Everything was always a "French problem." He said the French hate each other more than Americans hate them!

I laughed my ass off at subway scene when that pervert was hovering around. As a woman, I totally understand, but Goldberg's face was scary hilarious.
shareon the underground really cracked me up when they stare at the weirdo
sharehahaha!!! yeh, on the subway where he looks at Delpy then tries to freak that weirdo guy out - hahahaha. oh man!! that was laugh out loud funny
so many others too. I shall be buying this DVD.
yes that part was the funniest but i was just waiting for him to punch the guy, or tell him off or something! lol but his character seems kind of like a scaredy cat which made it funny..
shareFound this subway clip, officially the funniest thing ever

Roma: How was her crumbcake?
Levene: Hmm? Oh... from the store.
Roma: *beep* her.
The following had me in splits -
* The 'scary' expression of Adams' character in the subway scene.
* The way Delpy's father and she argues during the meal and Adam's character says,"What? I'm eating it. I'm eating it." Well, the entire meal scene was humourous..
* The argument with the racist taxi driver scene.
* The time when Adam says "Oh! Her mother is a slut too."
* When Adam says,"In France apparently, having a**l sex on the side is like you know, going fishing or playing Scrabble." This made me really laugh considering all the things that Adam had to face during his entire trip to France.
* The entire scene when Adam orders burgers, fries and Pepsi at the restaurant.
I'm not a hypocrite. If I criticize, I criticize the idea and not the person.
I love when her dad says "What about your fat ass?" when they're eating the rabbit.
Julie and Adam had great chemistry. When he tells her she looks fat, I die. At least he's honest lol.
Also, when he makes fun of her English:
"Are you sure you have not find my contact lenses?"
"No, I have not find it."
I laughed my ass off when he gives the weirdo in the subway a scary look...
