Mary Sue, in literary criticism and particularly in fanfiction, is a fictional character with overly idealized and hackneyed mannerisms, lacking noteworthy flaws, and primarily functioning as a wish-fulfillment fantasy for the author or reader.(wikipedia definition).
This is the Woodster using Owen Wilson as his most obvious Mary Sue, his stunt cock, so we don't all feel too sick when he starts leering over a teenager.The film isn't terrible even if it does seem like a pastiche of earlier better efforts, it has something to say about nostalgia and the central joke where every person in the past is ridiculously famous and they all hang around together is a good joke.
The problems with the film are that it's so light and flimsy it seems like a stretched short story and this idea that Paris is so wonderful.
It isn't.
It's a bit shit.
