I love the movie! It brought back my souvenir of Paris. The beginning snapshots of street life in Paris quickly lure the audience into the romantic setting and bring out the main theme of the move. The film combines all the elements of romance, fun, culture and intellectualism. Travel in times brings the movie to the next level. Like usual, Woody Allen's main characters are unique, witty, intellectual, playful, romantic, and nostalgic. Out of the cast, Owen Wilson is doing a good job in playing as a lovable fiancée who has a writer's dream but is not appreciated by his practical girl friend and future in-laws. He blend his insouciant yet earnest charm and eccentric comic sense into to the character and it works beautifully. Other shining characters are the charming performance of French actress Marion Cotillard and Kathy Bates. Overall, the movie definitely worths going: it's one of the kinds among typical Hollywood movies that it stands out!

Now, I'm not saying this movie is not funny. It is! It has many moments of awkward humour marking it certainly as a Woody Allen film, but Midnight in Paris has a stronger bent to real human emotion wrapped in the package of the absurd. Midnight in Paris is akin to a piece of Fantasy/Science Fiction that plays with the notion that there are some people who live in the past. Not their own past, but in the longing of being in a different time period. Dealing with the thought that you were born in the wrong time and how it can rob you of your present and your future. I thought some of the acting was good, especially those portraying the "historical" figures. Of course, the views of Paris are breathtaking and I cannot wait to visit one day myself.

Woody Allen is back! We smiled throughout the entire movie - love, love, loved it!

This film is a wonderful romantic comedy; Owen Wilson, in one of his best roles (playing the Woody Allen-like character) is a former Hollywood writer who vacations with his fiance (Rachel McAdams) in Paris. At midnight, Owen Wilson's character rides a mysterious taxi which takes him back to the early 1900's where he gets to meet wonderful characters like Hemingway, Picasso, Picasso's girlfriend (played by Marion Cotillard), and other influential artists / writers that were so important to the 20th Century. Woody Allen blends in comedy, romance, culture, and beautiful scenes in Paris. What more could you want? Watch it with your close friends!

I will not write a plot synopsis. I will state simply that this was a sweet tale of a middle-aged man who is a bit lost and finds inspiration in reliving the past with his literary and artistic heros. The characters were a little too stereotypical. While I have no idea how this got a best picture nomination, I did enjoy the film. Could easily wait to see it on Netfix.
