While far from a failure, Magic in the Moonlight is too slight to stand with Woody Allen's finest work. Read critic reviews

Movie Info
In the 1920s, magician Stanley Crawford (Colin Firth) enjoys widespread acclaim as Chinese conjurer Wei Ling Soo, his stage persona. As arrogant as he is talented, Stanley despises claims by phony spiritualists that they can perform real magic. At the behest of his friend, Stanley travels to the Côte d'Azur mansion of the Catledge family to expose a young medium named Sophie (Emma Stone). However, Stanley is left surprised and shaken by evidence that Sophie's gifts may be real.

From Woody Allen comes the lighthearted romantic comedy Magic in the Moonlight. The film follows renowned magician and skeptic Stanley Crawford who's put to the test when he's asked to debunk an American psychic named Sophie Baker whose tricks have thus far eluded a friend of his. Both Colin Firth and Emma Stone give good performances and have a bit of chemistry; thought the romance does come off as a little forced. And the story too seems a bit rushed and contrived at times. Yet it explores some interesting themes about the need for magic in our lives (whether real or fabricated). While Magic in the Moonlight is clearly one of Allen's weaker efforts, it's still a rather entertaining and charming film.

A miss for Woody. Beautiful looking film with Colin Firth fine in the lead but the usually charming Emma Stone is completely wrong as the supposedly mystical woman in question. Suggesting not an ounce of gossamer glow nor in any way a woman of the 1920's when the film is set she seems nothing but a miscast actress at sea. It doesn't help that she and Firth share zero chemistry on screen.

not the greatest woody allen film but firth is well cast. I don't normall dislike woody films so I'm always bias because he can literally polish a turd with performanes and scripted dialogue.

While most of this film will just go over your head as far as caring about the deep voabulary used to explain characters, "Magic in the Moonlight" is also an endearing film (albeit slow) about how love can change ones perspective on everything. Sure, there is much more under the surface of that notion, but we are talking about a Woody Allen picture here after all. Surprisingly, I bought the chemistry between Emma Stone and Colin Firth, because just after the first act I really felt as though it would have been forced. Is this one of Woddy Allen's most profound works of art? No, but for someone who has had a long string of average movies lately, this one stood out to me. The natural conversations about the world and what it truly is, really got to me. Not everything is all sunshine and rainbows, but the film chooses to stay mostly in the sunshine (figuratively), which I thought was very intriguing. "Magic in the Moonlight" is a very well-made picture with witty performances and a good enough story to warrant the dialogue that I enjoyed. Is this a film I will be remembering for a long time? No, but for the meantime, it was a very pleasant watch.
