Woody Allen's funniest, most sentimental film in years is a time-travel fantasy set in Paris.

Allen's filmic 'stand-in' Gil (Owen Wilson), a frustrated novelist squandering his talent as a Hollywood screenwriter, is an unabashed nostalgist who yearns for the Paris of the 1920s, when the city teemed with ex-pat literary types like Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
