A romantic comedy for intellectuals

Rating: 6/10 (20 July 2018)

Midnight in Paris is a romantic comedy for intellectuals. Humanities majors will probably get the biggest kick out of it - giving smug looks to each other as each author and artist appear on the screen, nodding knowingly at the obscure references and inside jokes. Me? I spent most of the time looking up each character on my phone. However, that being said, it is still enjoyable. The story is interesting and I like the message of the movie: don't idolize the past, enjoy the present.
