I didn't realize that this was a sequel until minutes before seeing it. I just found it on the bottom 100 list and decided to see it because of that, so my judgment is based solely on it's own merits, without influence from the previous film. I must say that I don't think it deserves a place in the bottom 100, I actually liked the extremely dark, almost suicidal tone in the beginning but about 35 minutes in, the whole movie shifts direction completely, becoming some kind of "Eyes wide shut" parody. I found myself asking "why is this happening?" over and over again throughout the second act of the film but at least something was going on. The last part of the film was just dreary, a drawn out sequence of nothing with dialog long winded leading nowhere, I was so close to just skipping to the end. Love in Paris (or Another 9 and a half weeks) could have been good but ended up being totally and utterly meh.

9 1/2 Weeks is one of the sexiest films you will ever see, if you haven't seen it, go rent it now! I have to admit that I love that film, it's such a guilty pleasure. But when I found the sequel to it, called Another 9 1/2 Weeks, I grabbed the movie without hesitation. I went home and watched it immediately, and I have to say I can see why Kim didn't want to be in this film. And Mickey, Mickey, Mickey, he's not so fine any more, he's more just very creepy and scary looking. The story didn't work and was just plain unnecessary, at least I didn't buy it. I mean, 10 years and John still hasn't moved on? May I just recommend therapy? Though he and Lea had pretty good chemistry, it wasn't as sizzling as what John and Elizabeth had.John is in Paris, he is about to come to an art show where Elizabeth's paintings are about to go on auction, John buys all the paintings hoping he'll bump into her. But alas, she isn't there, but he notices a beautiful young woman wearing the shawl he gave Elizbeth, he asks her where she got it and she says Elizabeth gave it to her and they were best friends. The young woman, Lea, is fascinated with the infamous John that rocked her friend's world, but John is just more concerned with speaking to Elizabeth, but when he gets terrible news, he may just have to settle for the sexy best friend.Some scenes were just too disturbing and unrealistic to how a person would react. John became too whiny and such a pansy boy. The passion wasn't very strong and the story was just horrible. I really recommend that you stay away from this movie, but please see the first 9 1/2 Weeks, it's a great thriller, don't watch this one, it's just plain insulting.1/10

If not for the creamy Agathe de la Fontaine, this would be a wholly sad and laughable affair. There is something about French girls with their full lips and flushed faces. Mickey Rourke increasingly creepy facial features don't make him the ideal romantic lead. Mix in a stolen plot straight from Last Tango In Paris and un-erotic direction from the person who brought us Embrace of the Vampire and Poison Ivy II, and you have a movie that no one could love no matter where they live. My biggest draw back is the miss use of Angie Everhart, one of the few redheads in movies. She can play an icy fatale better than most, but she is not so good as the girl looking for love, although she does look good with rose petals and honey smeared on her. The original, directed by Adrian Lyne, is one of the better erotic fests with a more convincing lead in Kim Basinger and a smoother faced Rourke.

Now how would Barry White say this...most likely in a deep, suave, smooth, many voice..."Oh baby!" That's what I think of this love movie. First off, it takes place in Paris, France, in Europe. Of course, we all know that Europe IS the part of the world to...well, parents may show this good advice of giving "10"s to their children, so I'll keep it appropriate. But at least I can say that Paris is the city of lights; the city to fall in love with; the city of romance! And that's exactly what happens - where else - in "Love in Paris!" Now, one more thing: of course, I'm a guy for action. So why am I here reviewing a "chick flick?" Because of the many ladies I can find in this movie, that's what! And that's why I am giving this movie a ten.
