where have all the good times gone?

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2011)

Unfortunately, one do miss a quality Woody Allen movie these days. Midnight in Paris: beautiful shots of Paris but no serious plot. Yes, many acclaimed stars, but no acting.
Nostalgia is fine but this is very fake. I watched the film with my mind sending the relevant past clips from other beautiful Woody Allen films like Manhattan, Purple Rose of Cairo, Radio Days, even Vicky Cristina Barcelona. But bringing them together does not make a nice movie.
I love rain in Paris but not like the last scene where the rain pours over only the cast not the bridge; is it cost-saving?
And after all, why do we need Owen to mimic Woody?
