"Gil Pender (Owen Wilson) is a screenwriter and aspiring novelist. Vacationing in Paris with his fiancee (Rachel McAdams), he has taken to touring the city alone. On one such late-night excursion, Gil encounters a group of strange -- yet familiar -- revelers, who sweep him along, apparently back in time, for a night with some of the Jazz Age's icons of art and literature. The more time Gil spends with these cultural heroes of the past, the more dissatisfied he becomes with the present." -Rotten Tomatoes

"Midnight in Paris is a very unselfish and lovely approach to inspiration, love, and the written word. A must watch."-Candice Frederick, Reel Talk Online

"Midnight in Paris contains sequences happier than can be described." -Antonia Quirke, Financial Times

"A well put together exercise in the pleasures and pitfalls of nostalgia..." -Derek Malcolm, London Evening Standard
