Midnight in Paris
This is a romantic comedy set in Paris about a family that goes there because of business, and two young people who are engaged to be married in the fall have experiences there that change their lives. It's about a young man's great love for a city, Paris, and the illusion people have that a life different from theirs would be much better.

I continue to be utterly taken with Midnight in Paris.August 03, 2013
It's charming and smart, and riddled with little joys.August 03, 2013
It's attractive and easy to slip into, but [Allen] didn't put enough thought into the design, and it soon falls apart.October 07, 2015
Mr. Allen's habitual romanticizing of the wealthy has grown stale and is especially problematic in this recession.June 03, 2011
Our hero has found his groove among the Lost Generation and, for us, there's some amusement to be had in sharing Gil's thrills -- it's like stepping into a Classic Comics version of A Moveable Feast.June 16, 2016
... Allen brings his fantasy to life with such affection and joy that he transports us into his dream come true as a shared fantasy.June 03, 2011
Midnight in Paris is charming and clever, at times wickedly astute and hopeful.June 10, 2011
"Midnight in Paris" is a bonbon to ease the craving for Allen's earlier, funnier films.May 03, 2015
Breezy and casually profound, with a killer gimmick that keeps on giving.June 10, 2011
Midnight in Paris is a loving embrace of the city, of art and of life itself.June 03, 2011
There is breezy comedy to be made of a YouTube-age writer meeting the icons and idols of a bygone, classical era, but Allen goes deeper, expanding on his time-travel device to make unexpected and unexpectedly generous observations.October 05, 2011
It's fun and it's most welcome.
