Who's in it? The movie stars Tom Everett Scott , Julie Delpy ,  Vince Vieluf , Phil Buckman and Julie Bowen. Review: My wife and I watched An American Werewolf in London a couple nights ago and enjoyed it enough to give the sequel, An American Werewolf in Paris , a try. Since the two movies were made 16 years apart and I am skeptical of sequels to begin with, my expectations were set pretty low when we started watch...
