A group of carousing American tourists is taking in the cultural landmarks of Paris when a chance encounter results in sightseer Andy McDermott (Tom Everett Scott) saving the life of Parisian Serafine Pigot (Julie Delpy). While on a date at a nightclub with Serafine, Andy is suddenly attacked and bitten by a werewolf. The next day he discovers that Serafine is also a lycanthrope, and that he is beginning his own grueling, hirsute transformation into one of the fanged beasts.

Critics Consensus

Markedly inferior to its cult classic predecessor in every way, An American Werewolf in Paris is felled by the silver bullets of clumsy storytelling and chintzy special effects.

An exhausting and chaotic pseudo-sequel to John Landis' 1981 horror-comedy classic,An American Werewolf in Paris offers one affront to the senses after another.

Lackluster update to American werewolf in London. Actors don't look like they want to be there. Wooden performances. Really bad effects

I thought it was alright apart from the bad CGI werewolves but other than that it has a decent plot and convincing acting.

A guilty pleasure of mine, this movie has some good humour, scary scenes, kind of corny at times, but overall worth a watch.

A very pale imitation of its predecessor drained of all life. Not worth watching.

One of the worst movies ever made. Painfully 90’s in all the wrong ways.

Sequencia do “Um Lobisomem Americano em Londres”, mas sem nenhum a correlação entre eles, uma pena, pois o primeiro entrega um deixa maravilhosa quando o lobisomem morde várias pessoas no final do filme, o que poderia gerar um surto de grandes proporções, mas preferiram criar uma história fraquinha, com efeitos apenas razoáveis, mas nada comparado ao primeiro, pouco cativante ou divertido...

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
