Midnight In Paris


Woody Allen, on steroids.  He did fine with this film.  Owen Wilson was his lead and it was like Darjeeling Limited meets Night at the Museum...sorry for the awkward comparison.  He did a wonderful job with his verbal and nonverbal skills on screen. Midnight in Paris is an ideal date night movie. 

The storyline flowed, was easy to follow, and fun to watch.  We are left with a few questions with HOW and WHY and WHAT NOW, but we are allowed to look beyond those to the enjoy the picture. There was the standard Woody Allen-esque 'movie is over, go home folks' ending. There is definitely some educational and social value to the film.  As a viewer, he could have added another 10 minutes in the middle and 10 minutes on the end for total satisfaction.

No Academy Awards for this film, but worth the visit.  It is also worth picking up on DVD and staying home to watch.  For the good time, "Midnight in Paris" will pull 3 out of 5 Cyclones.
