I really liked Owen Wilson in this role. It wasn't his usual quirky, dumb role. It gives you a nice since of being in Paris too.

I could not disagree more with Lisa. Midnight in Paris is utterly charming and delightful while still having more substance than the typical fluffy romantic comedy. Its about the unsatisfied yearning everyone feels at some point for a way of life that exists only in our own heads and the ultimate realization that in order to be happy we have to find a way to accept reality for what it is and appreciate the magic in real life. If that sounds too pseudo-philosophical, the movie has moment after moment of exuberant comedy and utterly joyous movie magic.

Personally, I did not like this movie. I felt at the end of it, that it was incomplete. I was like "now what was the point?". I guess others like it since there are 121 people wishing for it, but I felt it was a waste of time. Also, WHERE WAS THE COMMEDY???
