This film is about an aspiring writer named Gil, played by OWEN WILSON, who is on a trip with his wife and his future in-laws in Paris. He isn’t quite the life of the party but once it hits midnight, the city around him changes into his favorite era: 1920’s Paris. He meets his literary idols and undergoes a crisis in his love life.
This film did not have a scene that stood out or was artsy fartsy but instead it had some low-key aspects. The opening scene for example, consisted of a montage of everyday life in Paris. The whole movie itself was very bland when it came to color. This movie however, is lucky because majority of it was beautiful scenery in the background, because of course, it was shot in Paris. The two transitions that the director stayed consistent with was dissolve and fade. The music was your stereotypical, walking in the streets of Paris music, nothing special. It consisted of the wide, tight, wide, tight shot pattern throughout the entire film, no variety. This film was just your average film. This movie was not good. It was barely okay. I knew this wasn’t exactly my taste but I was willing to give it a chance because of the big debate in our film class. It was a disappointment honestly. It was the kind of film that you force yourself to watch on a long flight to kill time and if they have very limited movies, or the kind of film where the entire theater is full of old people and it’s around 2:00. It gave me The Night at the Museum vibes, but not NEARLY as good, in fact it couldn’t even compete with that movie. I was bored out of my mind the entire film, but the last 30 minutes were somewhat bearable and somewhat interesting. I feel like I have wasted an hour and a half of my life.
