Sony Pictures Classics is releasing Magic in the Moonlight on DVD today, the latest from writer-director Woody Allen. Stanley (Colin Firth) is a famed magician who travels to France to try and disprove Sophie’s (Emma Stone) claims of actually having psychic powers. But instead he finds himself falling for her and starting to question his own skeptic beliefs.
Although not as strong as the great Midnight in Paris, or last year’s Oscar-winning Blue Jasmine, Magic in the Moonlight is still an entertaining high concept romantic comedy from Woody Allen. Elevated by a cleverly written screenplay and an excellent cast, including charming performances from Colin Firth and Emma Stone, this one is worth checking out.
The DVD includes a “behind the scenes” featurette and footage from the Los Angeles premiere.
Magic in the Moonlight is 97 minutes and rated G.
