Forget Paris

What to Know

Critics Consensus

In addition to its titular exhortation, Forget Paris also forgets to offer rom-com fans enough romance or comedy to fill a feature worth remembering.

Towards the end you wish they'd just get it over with, but this film usually overcomes even the most cynical viewer's resistance. Go to Full Review

Noel L Oct 20 I don't know if I've ever seen a rom com done this way before See more Shay W Jul 27 I have no idea why this movie has just a 50% score. William Hickey just steals it as the Father in Law. The seagul stuck to Debra Wingers head as she tries to walk nonchalantly into the vets office? Its not your usual romantic comedy, its not supposed to be. See more Gnr E 07/20/2024 What a wonderful relationship! I want it so bad See more BJ M @HotMovieStar 03/26/2023 I think this is an underrated movie. It was funny and also realistic and sensitive concerning love and romance. It would be a great date movie. NBA fans would get a kick out of some of the scenes. See more 04/26/2020 Sweet 80s style romantic comedy. Which is the best kind, without the complete of excess of gooey sap and fake characters that you find in current ones. Charming, interesting, cute. A story of love will make it through despite life's pitfallls. See more 02/14/2020 This is a great movie, funny charming, great one-liners. See more Read all reviews
