STAR PERFORMANCES

Owen Wilson seems to be the perfect choice for this movie and role. Owen is a natural actor and seems to play his role with such ease and effortlessly. He has a perfect comedy timing, and many of the funniest lines in the movie are his improvisations.

WHAT’S THERE?

• The visuals deserve an applaud.

• Historical locations of Paris have been justified with the great cinematography.

WHAT’S NOT THERE?

• Not much depth has been put into the character of Inez.

• Certain scenes and quotes in the movie are quite predictable.

VERDICT

As per my opinion, this movie is a must-watch for Owen’s fans. It’s also another masterpiece by Woody Allen. There is nothing to dislike about this movie, either you simply connect to it, or you don’t. -by Ananya Narang
