Midnight in Paris

During last week's flight, I viewed Midnight in Paris, a film hich was written and directed by Woody Allen.

It was terrific. The film should rank among the year's best, and in my opinion, makes Allen the odds-on favorite to win "Screenplay of the Year", if not more.

From Wikipedia:
"Midnight in Paris is a 2011 romantic comedy/fantasy film [which] centers on a small group of Americans visiting the French capital for business and pleasure. The protagonist, a screenwriter, is forced to confront the shortcomings of his relationship with his fiancée and their divergent goals because of his magical experiences in the city beginning each night at 12am. Upon release, the film met with universal critical acclaim and emerged as a global box office success, becoming Allen's highest grossing film ever."

The movie features Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams in starring roles, but again, it is the screenplay itself which is the headliner in this flick.
