Midnight In Paris

Paris is this reviewer's dream city. The elegance of the Eiffel tower majestically pointing toward the heavens. Then add in the main character being an aspiring author who travels into the past to converse with classic authors like Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway and Cole Porter among others. Owen Wilson plays the aspiring author, Gill with an obviously different attitude than his typical comedic performances. This is a very enjoyable movie which in my opinion could have been great. It seemed like some of the classic authors stories were glossed over and Gil's relationship with Inez (Rachel McAdams) was important but Inez's character wasn't fully developed. I give Midnight In Paris two thumbs up while typing your potential best-seller as you sit in a cafe on the Champs Elysees looking up at the Eiffel tower.
