DVD Review: An American Werewolf In Paris (D-)

An American Werewolf In Paris (1997)
Directed By Anthony Waller
Grade: D-

Wow. Its hard to believe how bad this film really is.

Someone somewhere down the line really should have stopped this film from going forward. Just in the name of good taste.

What's wrong with American Werewolf in Paris? Well, the acting stinks, the story is stupid, the attempts at humor are downright embarassing and the effects don't work. Other than that, its great.

Based on the very funny (and scary) classic horror/comedy American Werewolf In London, directed by John Landis, this shameless sequel has none of the wit that made the original film so great. The jokes are stale, the werewolfs are computer generated, and although they look cool, they don't seem to merge well with the live action, so it looks, well... fake. Skip this clunker, rent the original, and move on.
