Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Billy Crystal's "Forget Paris" is a more or less deliberate attempt to repeat the success of "When Harry Met Sally...," his 1989 romantic comedy. Its ingredients look as if they were ...read the complete Forget Paris movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Mickey is a top referee in professional basketball. His love life consists of the cheerleaders. When his father dies, a cantankerous man whom no one likes, his body in a casket is shipped to France as that was his last will, to lie alongside his wartime ...read the complete Forget Paris movie review at Ben Hoffman

It's a shame that so many romantic comedies are in current release, because inevitably, something good is going to be overlooked due to the cinematic glut of warm fuzzies. As the third of its type in about as many weeks, Forget Paris is one of the ...read the complete Forget Paris movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
Riddle me this, Batman: when is a romantic comedy unromantic? In FORGET PARIS, writer/director/star Billy Crystal captures the perfect picture of a bad marriage, all while focused on two characters with absolutely *no* screen chemistry. Go figure. The ...read the complete Forget Paris movie review at Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)

An on-again off-again relationship comedy by Billy Crystal. He plays Mickey Gordon, a top notch pro basketball referee. By a convoluted twist of fate, he is trapped in the Paris airport for several days, where he meets Ellen Andrews, an airline ...read the complete Forget Paris movie review at Cinematter (Matt Williams)

Presumably, Crystal is attempting to provide a romantic alternative to the early summer action

That Cow (Andrew Bradford)
I have watched When Harry Met Sally way too many times to count, from back when there were only a few VHS tapes I owned, and I didn't bore so easily. So I have a good idea of the situations and dialog of that film. And, as I watch Forget Paris, I am ...read the complete Forget Paris movie review at That Cow (Andrew Bradford)
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Forget Paris has a split personality. It's not the mixture of comedy and drama -- plenty of films manage to intertwine the two with aplomb; rather, it's the vastly different performance levels of the leads. Debra Winger, a mature and competent actress, ha ...read the complete Forget Paris movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
