Midnight in Paris (2011)

Yes, you all know by now that I am a big Woody Allen fan.  I usually prefer movies that he actually appears in, but I have admit that lately I don't even miss him so much because they have really been pretty good anyway, even without him.  This was by far my favorite in a very long time.  I was surprised at how much I loved it, because I am not the biggest Owen Wilson fan, in fact I was sort of shocked that he would even be IN a Woody Allen movie, I just don't get the appeal I guess.  He was fantastic in this. This movie was by far one of my favorites of the year. I loved every single thing about it. It made me think, it made me laugh, I couldn't wait to get home and look up some of the artists/writers mentioned in the movie. I can't recommend this one enough....go see it. Its wonderful.  The movie seemed very much a love letter to Paris, and did make me want to jump on a plane (I don't fly...) and go there.  Its a basic plotline, the grass isn't always greener kind of thing, but its such a fun film, of course expecting you to use your imagination just a bit....I can't wait to see it again!
