Beautiful to look at.

Rating: 6/10 (9 July 2011)

It's striking midnight and we all know that means a walk back in time. It's an old story in an old city, and it's pretty to watch. Mostly charming, but often annoying due to the miscast of Owen Wilson. It is impossible to buy him in a role of a literary, well read author. He just can't pull it off. He and the actress playing Zelda are problems, and it's too bad for all the other really excellent portrayals. The actors playing Hemingway and Salvadore Dali are wonderful, as is the brooding Picasso. The fiancÃ©e, her family, and the know it all friend are great, too. A pleasant, pretty film with a great soundtrack and a casting department needing their heads examined.
