Midnight In Paris

2011
Starring: Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard
Directed/Written by: Woody Allen

I don't usually like Woody Allen all that much, but this was pretty cute.  It has a very clear message: everyone wishes they could live back in "the good old days."  It's great hipster commentary on blind nostalgia.  Owen Wilson is the perfect "Woody Allen."  A much BETTER Woody Allen, I think.  Rachel McAdams is a bitch, which I love.  It brings me back to her Mean Girls days.  Marion Cotillard is so gorgeous I want to cry.

All in all, a cute movie for literary types.  If you are annoyed by pretentious literary stuff, don't see it.

B+
