The only good thing about this movie is the scenery. Paris is beautifull and even more beautifull when visited in person. Story is superfical and the ending.........just left me hanging! Won't recommend to anyone.
Wood Allen draws you into his smoldering love of Paris with a long opening sequence with shots around Paris covering an entire day. I also love Paris, and enjoy the element of time travel. In this case, an earnest owen Wilson travels back to the 20s to meet some of my personal heros - Hemingway, Picasso, Dali. The final revelation added some substance to this tasty confection. I loved it.
NICE SCENERY, STUPID STORY
Owen Wilson was perfect, and believable - he has a wonderfully comedic but also sweetly innocent manner in this role - funny, but also touching. Woody Allen's take on nostalgia was also very true - it's never really what you thought it was, and the 'live for today' message was gently delivered. A movie to make people think and talk about life.
Owen Wilson is funny and great pictures of Paris we can see throughout this movie.
Very enjoyable and quirky storyline. Even more interesting to watch when one is familiar with classic literature and art. Some people in the theatre expressed that they thought the premise was to "weird" to be enjoyable, but for those with more of an abstract imagination, this film is quality entertainment.
I've seen this movie three times now, going each time with different people who wanted to see it. I enjoyed it just as much each time.
Woody Allen has created one of his most poignant and magical moments of his career. Midnight in Paris is also Owen Wilson's finest piece and a brilliant piece.
I loved the shots of Paris, the idea of Owen meeting famous people of the past. I hated the snobbiness of his fiance and her family. It was a bit slow but Owen had a much better time in Paris then anyone else the ending was a surprize
I only gave this 2* because of the beautiful shots of Paris both by day and night. But the acting was so strange coming from such famous actors; it really resembled an over-acted stage play in a small-town wannabe theatre. I couldn't believe that Rachel McAdams could be so shallow in her potrayals, and only Owen Wilson managed to be up to professional acting standards. Maybe it was editing or production, but this movie had none of the quality that even movies I don't like, usually have. It was just plain weird...and one lady walked out of the theatre which I would've done too out of boredom, but didn't only because I am a die hard expecting it to eventually get better, which unfortunatel
