I gave this the highest rating because it made me feel good. The last movie that made me feel good was We Got a Zoo. It was warm, funny and I was never bored. I actually enjoyed pausing it because I knew it gave me more time to enjoy it when I pushed play again. For those with my personality, you will rate it high also. Just our cup of tea. Maybe because I am an Aquarius. Maybe I'm just a very sensitive guy. It grabbed my heart.

I loved this movie. These characters are real. People with passion for their families, their creative works. People who are sad after divorce. Police work in the real world is like this. It's not usually full of explosions, and martial arts. I loved a movie with some ethnic humor, like we used to use in NYC when I grew up in the '60s. I laughed many times from little smartass lines in the movie.

Luis (Luis Guzmán) and Eddie (Edgar Garcia) are crack NYC cops on the front lines in the battle against "illegal drugs, human trafficking, and terrorism" by taking knock-off hand bags off the street. They are hired by Colette (Alice Taglioni) a French hand bag designer to find her new design stolen hand bag. The plot weakness is that in Paris, NYC cops have no jurisdiction. Paris cops or private detectives can't do the job, only two Puerto Ricans (with one being a half-wit) can do the job. Eddie is married to Luis' sister (Rosie Perez) while Luis recently broke up with his girlfriend (Rosario Dawson) over the commitment thing. Luis goes to Paris as a crude American pick up artist while Eddie shows a little class and style and has major appeal to the young ladies to the chagrin of Luis. I discovered that FUBAR is a place and not just an acronym and Luis discovers that all the French speak English and pretend that the don't. The film has some humor and works back on itself like most decent script. Guide: F-word. Brief model nudity

This is one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time. The chemistry between Garcia and Guzman remind me of the old comedy duo of Abbott and Costello. The French actors are amazing and bring a lot of substance and depth to this awesome movie. I hope they're planning a sequel! A must see film for everyone!

This is not the greatest comedy of all time; not even close. But it is funny and entertaining, and that beats the average comedy that is out there these days. The director does a fine job keeping the pacing even and Louie under control (I have known Luis since the 80s when we worked together as teachers down at Henry Street Settlement). I have reviewed several of his films as a second banana or less, and generally, with the exception of one or two roles, Lou has always done a professional job. I was not sure, as I started to roll this film, if Lou could hold up a film in the lead; but he can. He and his partner had great chemistry and the film was done straight rather than slapstick, which was a very good choice by the writer and director. The only reason the film was not rated higher, was that there was no discernable difference between these two detectives and any other Lower East Side detectives. They could have been Italian, Russian, Jewish, or a few other nationalities; there really was nothing that would catargorize them as Puerto-Rican. They looked like two AMERICANS in Paris (just not the Gene Kelly type). Actually, it was probably a good idea NOT to try and catagorize them as Puerto Ricans; their actions were no different from the vast majority of people who live in the Lower East Side, regardless of origin. In any event, I am happy for Lou that the film is a moderate success, and I hope he makes more features in the future.

Worth more than a 5.4 rating. The title seemed a little cheesy to me but within the first five minutes I was hooked. It's cute, funny and entertaining Luis Guzman is so entertaining to me no matter what part he plays but I loved the comedy dynamic between him and Edgar Garcia in this. The pace of the movie is great, give a shot, it's worth it!

Of course you can't expect t it to be on the same level as a blockbuster comedy film but it's something different and it has Luis Guzman, He's a fun guy all around. There were parts that could have been funnier, and it looks like they were trying to be funny but perhaps the script didn't work out that way. Really glad to see a guilty pleasure film made. The beginning of the film starts out appealing, it looks like it's going to be outrageous but doesn't quite get there. It had some moments that made you smile and even laugh. Can't say it quite made you laugh until you cried but enough to keep you engaged. not too familiar with the director Ian. The production looks like it had good quality video editing. It had some good name actors: Rosie Perez, Rosario Dawson, and Luis Guzman. I definitely would like to see more guilty pleasure movies like these.

Nice views of Paris and attractive French ladies, but there was basically zero story here. Enough visual candy for one viewing though.
