Since the stories are none too startling, it's hard to see why these otherwise bright people should be so enthusiastic about boring themselves.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

With its uneven tone, Forget Paris doesn't have enough comedy or heartfelt romance to eclipse its faults.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
