With Luis as the slick, self-styled 'brains' of the operation and Eddie as the shy, quiet 'muscle,' the two detectives head to Paris to track down a stolen handbag. With barely a clue but plenty of attitude, the pair doggedly attempt to apply their street-wise style to the rarified realm of Parisian high fashion.

Lacks the comedy it craves.

Luis Guzman is an instantly recognizable character actor who deserves his shot at being the face of a film. It's just unfortunate that the film turns out to be the lethargic and rarely funny fish-out-of-American-water comedy Puerto Ricans in Paris.

It's difficult to see how the film itself could be any less substantial without evaporating on screen.

Yes, it's predictable. Of course, it follows a formula. But damn if this isn't Guzman's show.

A formulaic fish-out-of-water buddy caper given an amusing boost with a casual scrunch of Guzmán's pug-nosed mug.

The grand takeaway from Puerto Ricans in Paris, which delivers what you'd expect and not much else, is that someone ought to finally give Luis Guzmán the leading role of a lifetime.

Why in the world do the filmmakers go to the trouble of casting Rosario Dawson and Rosie Perez as the detectives' significant others and then leave them in the States away from all the hijinks?
June 29, 2016
There are no laughs, the plot is a bore, and visiting Paris is just an excuse to wheel out postcard backdrops and attractive women. And yet Guzmán and Garcia are good together.
July 19, 2016
Culture-clash buddy comedy has some crude humor, gun use.
June 10, 2016
It's charming. It's funny.

Guzman and Garcia (reunited from HBO's "How to Make It in America") are a joy to watch, and deliver their lines with just enough nuance to make them truly endearing; sometimes it works, others not so much.
