Midnight in Paris (2011): A family travel to the French capital for business. The party includes a young engaged couple who are forced to confront their differing views of a perfect life. (7.8)
Director: Woody Allen
Writer: Woody Allen
Stars: Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates
Really good use of historical contexts to create funny and humorous situations. As we know, Woody Allen has the knack for writing great dialog and this movie doesn't disappoint in that department. But, at the end of the day, I feel like there's no there there. Allen is using the historical figures to mechanically generate a script with no real story with meat on the bones. It is entertaining while watching, but there's nothing, at least for me, to write home about. Then again, that's what his movies are all about, I guess. My Rating: 7.0
