Midnight in Paris (2011)

2012-01-05

I watched this only because Woody Allen made it, and now I wish he was the one playing the lead character, not a poor imitator. The fantasy element of it is a bit interesting (no one in my experience has made such a smooth and unassuming time travel movie) but there's a feel of self-importance about the whole thing and that's annoying and makes it unbearable. Maybe Woody is getting lazy and arrogant. I haven't seen all of his work, but this is likely his worst. The costumes are nice though.
