Review :-
French farce is alive and reasonably well in 2 Days in New York, a madcap inter-family romp that deftly keeps many comic balls in the air for a good hour, before dropping some in the final stretch. Showing a disarming flair for clever, multi-lingual bawdy humor as a writer, director and performer, Julie Delpy follows up her 2007 2 Days in Paris by replacing Adam Goldberg with Chris Rock as the new man in her life, to amusing effect. The popular American comic’s presence should signal a wider audience for this outing, Delpy’s fourth as a director, although the fact that so many of the laugh-producing misunderstandings hinge on Franco-American language and cultural differences will likely keep the film from breaking out much beyond the sophisticated urban market in the U.S.

Julie Delpy was born 21 December 1969 in Paris, France to Albert Delpy, a theater director, and Marie Pillet, an actress in feature films and the avant-garde theater. She was an only child. On the stages of Paris, Delpy's parents were involved in underground theater. At an early age, Julie was exposed to the arts.

I couldn't hope for better parents. They really raised me with a love of art, bringing me to museums and seeing things that a child wouldn't see at that age. I would see Ingmar Bergman movies when I was 9 and totally go for it. And they would bring me to see Francis Bacon's paintings, which I loved: so dark and at the same time it's so wonderful.
