First, let me just say Marion Cotillard was beyond exceptionally lovely in this film.  Watching her on-screen truly took me back to another era.  I often say women in the modern day simply can't compete with beauty of the past.  Today, people can fix up their look with plastic surgery and all sorts of photoshop trickery in magazines.. but those women from past eras were authentically exquisite from within.  They didn't have to botox their faces to look the way they do.  Marion Cotillard reminds me of this natural, unaltered beauty.  She has a twinkle in her eye, a slight smirk in her smile that borders friendly and mischeivous all at once.

Now.. on to the rest of the film which I adored.

Who doesn't love Paris?  Actually, one of my friends who has visited France-a-plenty has made it seem France is overrated.  But the non-tom-boy (which is rare) girl inside of me got suckered into thinking Paris is a city of romance, love, quaint cafe's, delicate pastries.. maybe I am delusional but Midnight in Paris emphasizes that feeling. 

Without spoiling the movie for you, fall into Midnight in Paris with an appreciation of literature and quick-witted comedy.  I personally apprecaited this movie because of the smart literary references and how a fantastic night of romping around the city awoke him from his deluded relationship.  Sometimes you don't see things for what they are when you're engulfed in it.  Perhaps sometimes it takes an unbelievable adventure to pull you out of your current state - to realize there's a greater love inside you than you think.  On a smaller scale, maybe the lesson here is.. never settle.  And last but not least, bravo for Adrian Brody's rhinocerous-exclamation point!
