Woody Allen is the master film-maker, and no matter what the history and so on, Midnight in Paris touches the right spots for those who admire Woody and Paris. I still think Manhattan and Manhattan Murder Mysteries are two of his best films, but still Midnight in Paris is one for fans I guess.

It took a little while to get used to Owen Wilson playing Woody Allen, especially considering that he got the stuttering, mannerisms and inflections down to a tee. Still, it's an intriguing concept that is witty and full of interesting conversations and interesting people. If only someone wrote a few books that did almost the same thing with famous scientific figures *ahem*.

I finally got this DVD from my library and am so happy that I didn't pay to see the movie. I started getting angry as soon as I saw the toxic couple at the beginning of this movie, but, things devolve even more, if possible. Everyone in this abject failure is a caricature; Wilson, as the nebbish-on-steroid Allen persona, his fiancée as the screech-y,throughly unlikeable Material Girl; her parents, as the Mitt Romney-esque 1%'s; the other couple is straight out of the movie line from "Annie Hall," the one in which Marshall McLuhan steps out of a cardboard poster and tells them that "you know nothing of me and my work." And what's up with Wilson's ultimate soul mate... a Mia Farrow clone? Any Freudian meanings there? The good news is that I could fast-forward through a lot of the nonsense to what was the inevitable breakup of this thoroughly unsympathetic couple. Allen is capable of such good writing...he must have done this for the money and a paid trip to Paris.

How this film rankings so high must be a testament to the old Hollywood marketing engine Loaded with cameos from well know and respected actors. It's obvious they're having a good laugh at the audience as they rake in the money for what is clearly a thin movie. Woody Allen has clearly exhausted his creativity and snap. A sad moment to witness for what was a great creative genius. The photography is indeed beautiful with various Paris scenes but the story plot is weak not only unbelievable but absurd. The primary actors are miscast and overplay their roles. The cameos are well done but can't save the drowning pool of this movie.

After reading reviews here, I have decided to watch this movie in Barcelona. Although I really did not like the way trailer has been put together, still wanted to give it a shot. Headed to a local cinema showing it in original language. As the trailer was telling me like "don't go don't waste your time and money", it was beyond belief that some people will rate this movie highly just because its an another "master" !? piece from Woody Allen. First of all movie is not a romantic comedy, its not a science fiction, its not a drama, its not a romantic drama nor its a comedy. Its a very creative idea of time traveling put in a very boring interrelated patterns. Acting is horrible as well. It could have been a great Hollywood comedy if directed better with better comedy lines. There was a single line which I laughed about Valium. That was something which they could have used throughout the movie. If you are not into literature and art, do not waste your time.
