Midnight in Paris: nostalgically adorable

Not going to lie, I'm not the biggest fan of Woody Allen.  I like intellectual banter as much as the next person, but it often overpowers the storylines, and makes them impossible to relate to.  However, this fantastic tale of a young couple in Paris picks the prenuptial jitters and runs with it.  Of course there is the needed pedantic antagonist, but his role has been reduced to a mild irritation.  The story still rewards the well-read (of which I am not), but not enough to overpower the story.  All in all, it is a great movie about love... the love of a life fullfilled, a love to share it with, and the love of the magic of Paris.
Verdict: Put it on the to-do list (Buzzworthy)
