Director : Woody Allen
Running Time : 91 mins
While on holiday in Paris with his fiancée Inez (McAdams) and her parents, struggling writer Gil Pender (Wilson) goes out one night and discovers he is able to travel back in time to the 1920s, where he meets some of his all-time literary heroes who help him to get the inspiration he so sorely needs to help with his unpublished novel. Unfortunately he finds himself falling for as woman called Adriana (Cotillard), a 1920s lady that has dated some of the greatest artistes of all time.
This starts off terribly slow – I was really worried this was going to be like the last Woody Allen movie I saw, Whatever Works – with no plot and endless Allen-esque ramblings. Thankfully this eventually develops an interesting plot, and the lead (Wilson) manages to remain likeable in spite of his dual (if not triple) relationships in what is basically a truncated rip off of the 90s sitcom, Goodnight, Sweetheart.
