It's no coincidence that Gil happens to be an aspiring writer whose novel about a nostalgia shop eventually ends up in the hands of Gertrude Stein for publishing. Gil is a darling, what I cannot quite figure out is why Woody Allen chose a fiance and her rich parents as his traveling companions.
Personally, I believe Woody Allen hand picked these individuals for Two reasons:

To conclude, I must ask that YOU please forgive me for not mentioning the beautiful Rachel McAdams, who also played the heroine role in 'The Notebook,' which is one of my favorite movies of today. She was less than desirable to me in this movie but, remember, it was the character she played and quite convincing might I add.
Have a blessed weekend!
