Paris was not recognizable and was more like Ratatouille

First episodes of ¨Emily in Paris¨ cause controversy

Emily In Paris starring Lily Collins slammed by French critics




Emily In Paris works hard to sell on the charm of Collins as a budding marketing executive who lands in France not speaking a word of French but with plenty of enthusiasm. It is her job to guide a small French firm that is owned by her larger American firm back home.  

The old cliches pop their ugly heads right away as she is mesmerized with the baked goods and is treated rudely by co-workers Julien and Luke (Bruno Gouery and Samuel Arnold). But the fashion stands out. Collins is seen in colorful coats and dresses with her hair perfectly styled. 

RTL shared: 'Rarely had we seen so many clichés on the French capital since the Parisian episodes of Gossip Girl or the end of the Devil wears Prada.'

Charles Martin from Premiere said that wrote it was abhorrent that the French were described as tardy, lazy and sexist: 'No cliché is spared, not even the weakest'

The American critics were kinder with The Hollywood Reporter calling it 'strikingly watchable.'

But NPR dated to call it just 'fine': 'It's not that there aren't bright spots, but there's also just so much that feels uninspired.'
