An American Werewolf in Paris

I've read a lot of other reviews about this movie, ripping it to shreds because it fails in comparison to American Werewolf in London. In some cases, I think that it's unfair to compare sequels to it's predecessor. This is one of those movies. Paris was filmed a decade and a half later, with a very different tone. I found it rather charming and humorous. There was a part where Andy goes bunji-jumping, and banged his head against a steel beam, that makes me squirm every time. I thought their transformation scenes were better than that of any other werewolf movie I've ever seen, and the music fit the mood rather well. Definatly rent this one, but try not to compare it to Werewolf in London. 3.5 out of 5.
