I loved MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, the best film I've seen this year and, apparently, Allen's most financially successful film ever.
I found this film to be "cute" and rather fun but ultimately, I felt the whole A story was shit [didn't care for the wife and her family and her having an affair with Michael Sheen whom I wanted to punch in this film] and that only the "time travel" and the wonderful cameos really worked and left me wanting more.
Corey Stoll as Ernest Hemingway was fantastic and I really liked Tom Hiddleston as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sonia Rolland as Josephine Baker and the way those two carried on.
Kathy Bates as Gertrude Stein was delightful and seemed like she could have done a whole film as Stein and Adrien Brody as Salvador Dalí was a wonderful surprise.
One weak link was that it felt at times as if Owen Wilson was trying to do a Woody Allen like impression rather then his usual calm, collected, but still rather manic self.
