Without Adam Goldberg?
He was by far the best thing in "2 Days In Paris"... why is he not in this one?
shareBecause his character was insufferable? They both were, but I mean, really, those two characters had *no reason at all* to remain in any kind of relationship. I highly doubt that was Delpy's intentions making the Paris film, but thats what came across.
And seeing as there will be another Sunrise/Sunset film, it kind of begs the question why she's making another one of these "2 Days" films. Getting her and Chris Rock together to have a little mini-Woody Allen fest is good enough excuse though, I suppose.
I'm going to have to agree with the fact that Goldberg's character was annoying and grated on my nerves and had this been a movie about those two still being in a relationship, it would have sucked.
That being said, I don't see any reason for this movie to be made regardless of whether it is Chris Rock replacing Goldberg or not. The first one just wasn't good enough, and the characters not worthy enough. It had none of the elements that made the Sunset/Sunrise movies so endearing. I mean, Ethan Hawke is a terrible actor, but between the writing and directing, even his poor delivery of almost every line could not ruin them.
Also, the parents were the best part of 2 Days in Paris, which is probably why they are returning.
