Comedy. Romance. Fantasy A slightly bohemian american writer (Owen Wilson) arrives with his fiancee (Rachel McAdams) and her parents to Paris. As he wanders the streets dreaming of the 1920s, he falls under one spell, and then the magic happens: at midnight somewhere in the Latin neighborhood, our hero travels into another universe where he will meet people who never expected.

	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"Woody’s in good form and Paris looks glorious in this droll time-traveling fantasy. (...) the film has the concision and snappy pace of Allen’s best work".	POS
United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"A self-aware Allen plays with his own weakness for nostalgia. (...) I’m guessing the French will say, “Charming! But what city is that? Wish I lived there."	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It is marvelously romantic, even though — or precisely because — it acknowledges the disappointment that shadows every genuine expression of romanticism"	POS
France	François Forestier Le Nouvel Observateur	"Charming romantic comedy (...) Somewhere between 'The Purple Rose of Cairo' and 'Cinderella,' the forty-second film Woody Allen is delicious (...) And, yes, in the role of a guide for tourists, Carla Bruni is perfect."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[A] delightful fantasy (...) There is nothing to dislike about it (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"A cinematic soufflé that rises to perfection, a wry, funny, touching picture"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"'Midnight in Paris' is a breeze: a bauble, but a jolly one. It glints, charms and then stops (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Anthony Quinn The Independent	"Much of its appeal resides in the casting of Owen Wilson, who plays the surrogate Allen figure better than any other actor has done."	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"Light, assured, and utterly charming: Woody Allen’s sublime gifts are still intact (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"It’s fun and it’s most welcome (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
