Considering just how many cooks there were in the kitchen, Paris, je t'aime came out with a pretty even feeling

It's an uneven bag of love to be sure, but the hits outweigh the misses.

Paris, je t'aime feels like a compilation of student films %u2014 imbued with a certain neophyte whimsy, vibrating with life and passion, and fresh in a way that can only come from unfettered enthusiasm.

A masterful achievement, both as a film and as a heartfelt love letter to one of the world's most romantic cities.

Generally, the comic pieces are sturdier than the abbreviated dramas. ...As might be expected, a couple of the chapters are misfires... Happily, 'Paris' saves some of its prime material for the last half-hour.

Finally, the city that has inspired so much love gets a love letter all its own.

...a charming ode to the title city, less because of how it celebrates Paris' romantic reputation than for the way it lovingly tweaks that image.

A connoisseur's delight: two hours of short films celebrating the most romantic city in the world.

Taken as a whole, Paris Je T'Aime slips down easily enough and offers a few whimsical smiles, but you may find yourself craving more substantial nourishment before the end.

You expect quality to vary from segment to segment, but the misses outweigh the hits by a depressingly high margin.

Even the downbeat segments are optimistic, and that's what unifies them.

Paris Je T'aime is a poignant and ultimately rewarding experience. It offers something for everyone, and provides an insightful, multi-cultural look at the City of Lights.

Offers a smorgasbord of distinct styles as it compiles an unprecedented movie mix tape of poetic interludes.

The bee's knees, the cat's pajamas and the lobster's dinner shirt of movies currently playing.

For directors and actors who usually work on projects that take years to develop and months to film, this must have been a really fun lark. For the viewer, it’s a full cinematic feast.
