So far this is the best film of the summer, if not the year. Woody Allen is proving his critics that he's not done yet. He's still got it and here he magically spins a tale that matches some of his best works. Owen Wilson plays Gil a screenwriter in love with the Paris of old. His girl friend, played by Rachel McAdams, are in Paris with her parents. He wants to give up the movies and become a novelist. She's not so keen on that idea. Then one midnight while walking the streets of Paris he stumbles upon a bit of magic. Let me add that this is one of those rare situations where I can recommend the film's trailer because its effective without giving too much away. Really anyone should enjoy this movie but I guess if you detest Woody Allen movies or find Owen Wilson annoying than you should avoid this wonderful film. I also might add that I think Owen Wilson is the perfect actor to portray the Woody Allen's mystic; I hope they work together again. Grade: A.
Spoilers: I have to say the cameos in this film are exceptional. My favorite is Adrian Brody whose performance as Salvador Dali made me giddy with laughter.
