Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Billy Crystal plays Mickey, a basketball referee who has to accompany his estranged father's body to France, where the old man requested to be buried with the other members of his D-Day platoon. Unfortunately for Mickey, the airline loses his body. Fortunately for Mickey, this leads him to meet Ellen (Debra Winger), an airline executive who takes personal charge of the case and even joins him at the funeral. A whirlwind Paris romance leads to marriage, but that's when the complications begin... The story of Mickey and Ellen's marriage is recounted by their friends (played by Joe Mantegna, Cynthia Stevenson, Julie Kavner, Richard Masur, John Spencer, and Cathy Moriarty) as they wait for Mickey and Ellen to arrive at a dinner party. And of course these friends have their own stories, which are played out in witty shorthand as they bicker about who's going to tell the next part of the Mickey/Ellen saga. Forget Paris is uneven (unsurprisingly, Winger is stronger in the dramatic sections and Crystal in the comic parts, a schism that takes its toll on their chemistry), but its best parts hold up, even if the whole is shaky. Plus, the movie's theme (that romantic memories aren't what makes a marriage work, you have to live in the present) is explored with conviction and tenderness. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An Unforgettable Love Affair...This delightful peek into the romance and marriage of two very unlikely individuals was as much fun for me this time around as it was when I first saw it a few years ago. Billy Crystal is great with the comedic repartee and Debra Winger is watchable in everything she does. They meet under unusual circumstances - Mickey, the Billy Crystal character, is a referee who flies to Paris to bury his father. When the casket turns up missing, Mickey spends hours in the airport, seeking ...

I had never heard of 'Forget Paris' until I stumbled accross this film as part of a 4 film DVD set. Billy Crystal and the entire cast are in top form in this "not too sweet", funny and smart romantic comedy. This is worth your time, don't pass it by. The DVD transfer on my version looked very good. Rating:  - Best movie no one seems to know about.Our whole family enjoys this movie and we like to see good movies - for what ever reason few people have heard of this great Billy Crystal movie. They don't even list the main characters here on Amazon, Billy Crystal and Deborah Winger (not Marv albert & Charles Barkley they only have small cameo rolls if that). This is a story that has enough story and sports that guys love it. I love the way the supporting cast tells the story about what has happened to the two main characters. It is not predictable. ...

(tv g works great) I thought Billy Crystal and Debra Winger worked well together! It is not a family movie. Rating: - inspirational and encoraging for anyone struggling to keep a relationshipOver looked romantic film destined to become a classic with a grade A cast and intelligent imaginative script! Look for many director and plot misdirections to keep you interested, without being confused. GREAT date flick and a MUST WATCH for anyoneone struggling to keep the "till death do us part" FEASABLE.
