A connoisseur's delight: two hours of short films celebrating the most romantic city in the world.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 29, 2007

Taken as a whole, Paris Je T'Aime slips down easily enough and offers a few whimsical smiles, but you may find yourself craving more substantial nourishment before the end.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 26, 2007

You expect quality to vary from segment to segment, but the misses outweigh the hits by a depressingly high margin.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Jun 23, 2007

A slam-dunk for cineastes, romantics, and Francophiles.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 22, 2007

For directors and actors who usually work on projects that take years to develop and months to film, this must have been a really fun lark. For the viewer, it's a full cinematic feast.

Even the least tales here flit by quickly enough to leave little bad aftertaste, and the best are savored like the last small bites of exquisite soufflés.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 8, 2007

The best segments are as good as film gets; the losers can make you wince. On the whole, the good outweigh the bad and make the film feel like a minivacation in the City of Light.

The best is saved for last: Payne's 14th arrondissement takes its time to create a Parisian epiphany that both pokes fun at an American tourist (Margo Martindale) and finds grace in her acceptance of a fragile moment of transcendence.

On paper, the film looks like a slam dunk, but that isn't the way it plays out. Perhaps it's the time-limit constraints or maybe they just don't care, but most of the directors aren't working at full speed.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 1, 2007

The result is that after two hours one gets the sense of having seen a panorama of human experience, of having witnessed a moment of time in all its true fullness.

Paris, je t'aime builds into something quite wonderful.

| May 25, 2007

It's hard not to love Paris, Je t'Aime. A valentine to the planet's most romantic city, this delightful anthology of 18 short films will make you long to bid adieu to your humdrum existence and board the next plane to the City of Lights.

Split evenly between the inspired segments and those that fall flat, this ambitious omnibus is still worth watching.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 25, 2007

With 18 pieces in all, there should be something here to tantalize everyone's tastes, or at least prompt you to contact your travel agent to book a vacation.

Full Review | May 25, 2007

Most features composed of sketches by different filmmakers are wildly uneven. This one is consistently mediocre, albeit pleasant and watchable.

| May 25, 2007

As an ad for the city's charms, Paris couldn't have asked for a more sweetly jaundiced love letter.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 25, 2007

It is possible to bring substance, as well as poetry, to the vignette form, but more often Paris, Je T'Aime is merely mundane.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 24, 2007

You couldn't call it perfect -- the episodes are uneven -- but it has something that sometimes is better than perfection: real love for its subject and themes.
