If you can grasp Woody Allen's subtle message, either you're a skilled writer or you possess a remarkable touch with language, which is quite impressive for someone with only a formal education from elementary school. The film features a compelling storyline, engaging dialogues, and a dynamic action/reaction sequence—Science, philosophy, and religion.

e.g.,

A Caucasian man is on stage as a magician, disguised as "Wei Ling Soo," who is portrayed as Chinese—beginning the film story.

"Which moment of a day do I look beautiful, with agreeable features? So, I can spot a moment for my job interview. " @55:54/1:37:37

"At dusk"

"Really? You mean no light? I'm invisible?"

"I'm in awe of you, but not proud of you; rather, I'm proud of myself for admitting I'm wrong."

Acclaimed magician Stanley Crawford (Academy Award Winner® Colin Firth*) dazzles his audiences with feats of supernatural amazement. But when it comes to the inexplicable, Stanley is a dedicated skeptic. Enter Sophie Baker (Emma Stone), psychic, soothsayer, and stunning seductress. As Stanley and Sophie embark on misadventures up and down the French Riviera, will they discover proof of a world beyond the laws of physics or have they fallen under the sway of a more earthly chemistry? Woody Allen pulls the strings with precision in this enchanting romantic comedy that explores the realm between what's understood in our minds and what's known in our hearts. *Colin Firth, Academy Award® Winner, The King’s Speech, Best Actor, 2010

Nobody loves the 20s more than me, and this could have been such a great movie. The locations, the clothes, the gorgeous cars - BUT the writing was horrible, Colin Firth was terrible, a totally unlikable character even at the end, and there is less than ZERO chemistry between Firth and Emma Stone. I mean - who casted this? Horrible casting. Totally implausible. Watch it for the clothes and the locations. That's all it's good for. What a shame.

Can't believe this movie ever got made. Romantic comedies were waning in 2014. The power of Woody Allen I guess. I wonder hoe different it would be if Amy Adams had the role...Emma Stone just seemed too young for Colin.

Interesting thought, you made me look up their ages (now) Adams is 49, Stone 35….so that is a big difference. Interesting the internet randomly also listed Rachel McAdams is 45….she could have worked too. Considering this is by Allen…..not shocked by the age difference portrayed….
