Just like the 20's, this film dazzles in every way.

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2011)

The trailer for Midnight In Paris is so deceiving, I saw the trailer and thought oh great another film about Paris, the city everyone but me seems to love, but the when I sat down to watch it I was so pleasantly surprised at just how different this movie is to what you would expect.
Firstly I have to say that the story of a man traveling to another era after midnight is terribly clever, it took me a second to realize that the main character has actually time traveled and hasn't just run into people who are dressed in 20's attire for the evening. It's even different to the usual Woody Allen material, it's highly original in every way imaginable.
The cast in this movie is exceptional, I'm not usually an Owen Wilson fan but I found him wonderfully likable, he is so at home in this type of film, it's nice to see him in an intelligent comedy and not a cheap silly one. The entire supporting cast are wonderful, Rachel McAdams playing against character is great at making you dislike her character almost instantly, the same can be said for Michael Sheen, the 2 supporting cast members who were the best were Alison Pill as Zelda Fitzgerald, she's hilarious and just plain fantastic, Marion Cotillard is lovely and sweet as well, all of them are great, they all get a great scene, another worth mentioning is Adrian Brody as Dali, another hilarious encounter. Woody Allen sure knows how to write fir all his characters, no one is left unmemorable.
It's kinda hard not to like this movie, I loved it in every way, I hope you will too. The best Woody Allen film since Match Point. :)
