This is an antidote for those thinking the grass is always greener somewhere else, an insight into the mysteries of love and attraction, and an adoring poem to the city of Paris, complete with the first lady of France as a guide. Owen Wilson, who is physically the exact opposite of Woody Allen, nonetheless does an uncanny job channeling Woody's personality and mannerisms as the befuddled and bedazzled lead of this charming fantasy. The supporting cast was fine, though most were not given much to do, with the highlight being Corey Stoll as the larger-than-life Hemingway. Great for a date night and could be the cleanest PG-13 movie you'll ever see.

I rarely pay to see a movie twice in theaters but I couldn't help myself with Midnight in Paris! Although I do not think it will get an invite to the Academy Awards I do considerate a must see! A great story about finding romanticism in life. The movie infuses comedy and romance in an intriguing adventure in the most romantic city in the world. If you are a connoisseur of classic literature of the romantic period you will appreciate this film all the more. The allusions are successfully executed through the writing and acting that those who may be less familiar with literature need not dismay. The acting and cinematography quality is good enough to make the film successful but not good enough to get a nod from the Academy. Overall, I have to say this is the best "feel good" movie I have seen in a long time. Any movie that will make me pay those ridiculous theater ticket prices is a must see!

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.

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!

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!
