Magic in the Moonlight

A British illusionist that makes a living debunking those claiming to be mystics or clairvoyant finds himself in unfamiliar territory when he is introduced to Sophie, a self-proclaimed medium whom he considers to be an American simpleton.


I have come to the conclusion that I really do love Woody Allen movies… but only when Woody Allen is not in them. This is really a sweet, charming little movie that will just make you smile. Colin Firth is fabulous as the pompous cynic that inadvertently insults his way across the screen. Emma Stone, who is a charismatic actress in her own right, surprisingly holds her own with Firth and the two have a plethora of delightful banter that again makes one happy to be at the movies.

This is a quiet and enchanting period piece that if an admirer of Midnight in Paris one is likely to find almost as entertaining.

*** ½ MUST SEE

Rated PG-13 (for mild language)
