Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams star in Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris

Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams star in Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris

Just when Woody Allen seemed to have written and directed himself out, he comes up with his biggest hit. 
Midnight In Paris arrives here as his highest-grossing movie, surpassing even Hannah And Her Sisters, Manhattan and Annie Hall — and it’s one of his best.
The blond, laid-back, very un-Jewish Owen Wilson may seem like a daft choice to play Allen’s latest angst-ridden alter ego, but he turns out to be ideal.









His unpretentious charm takes the curse off the 75-year-old Allen’s increasingly crotchety approach to characters he dislikes — which includes pedants, academics and anyone politically to the right of centre.

Wilson plays Gil, a Hollywood hack screenwriter with dreams of being a great novelist. 
He’s revising the first draft of a book while visiting Paris with his practical-minded fiancée Inez (Rachel McAdams) and her stuffy, Francophobe parents (Kurt Fuller and Mimi Kennedy).
