Owen Wilson plays the Woody Allen role in this Woody Allen film, Midnight in Paris.  We’re in Paris with an engaged couple, Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams and her parents.  He’s a successful screenwriter who years to be a meaningful novelists, while she wants him to continue in his high-paying career.  While she parties with friends, he explores Paris – and finds himself taken back in time, where he meets  Hemingway, Picasso, and many of his artistic influences.  He begins to question his life, and learn about what is important to him.  This is a cerebral comedy, what else would you expect from Woody Allen?  I loved it.
