This movie really speaks to me.

It's the movie I always recommend to people.

I had no idea that I was going to enjoy the movie this much prior to watching it. Actually I have been postponing the movie for a long while. Pity! Great movie, gave all the motivation for watching the rest of the Woody Allen filmography.

From the trailer, there's no way to know what Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris is really about, so I'll tell ya. It's a rather playful fantasy about a frustrated writer (Owen Wilson) longing for those Parisian days of the 20s when all the great artists and writers lived there. His fiancée (a hilariously mean Rachel McAdams) has no intention of moving there, so he's left to his own devices and at the stroke of midnight each night, he's transported to that romantic notion of 1920s Paris. In the process, he'll learn something about the power of nostalgia and about himself. If you know your early 20th century creative types, you'll get a lot more from the film's star-studded pastiches, but even if you don't, I think the eccentrics played by the likes of Adrien Brody, Kathy Bates and Marion Cottillard will still entertain and tickle your fancy. And for fans of photography, Woody Allen gives Paris the same romantic, even fetishized treatment he usually reserves for New York. It's all very sweet and lovely.

An Artist's dream presented through the eyes of Woody Allen in a beautiful and frank way that works its script and music to be an absolutely delicious masterpiece. I would have liked to see Joseph Gordon Levvit, Tobey Maguire or John Cusack in the main role.

Oh my, how divine. I fell in love with the film as soon as the first scene started, long before the true plot even set in. Midnight in Paris is just that magical.

Owen Wilson - whom I've never really cared for otherwise - fits the role perfectly, almost as if he doesn't even realize he's within a film. Everyone portrayed their characters so fantastic and mystical that I couldn't even believe it was the past. Amazing.

I haven't quite decided if the cinematography was extremely well done or if Paris is just that beautiful - I'm sure it's both. Wonderful colors of rich, vibrant hues that only added to the costumes, architecture, and art. It was almost as if the film was a largely celebrated painting with the most astounding music played in the background.

Midnight in Paris is by far one of the most original and creative films I've had the pleasure of seeing. An instant favorite that I wish would never end. History is charmer, just as this film. Another timeless one (literally!) from Woody Allen!

Fine movie. I was surprised how "complicated" the story was, generally a well written screenplay. I like all the different social situations. The funniest thing is that the character of Owen Wilson is quite similar to the regular, younger charatcer og Woody Allen in his earlier movies. I did sort of see Allen somewhere behind Wilson.

Highlight: Funny, like in most Allen films. An it has some great dialouges, where you really can find some meaning.
