The Overnight

I won't give much away but it's certainly not for the prudish and a strange choice for a Sunday morning preview.

Well - it WAS short!

So is Jason Schwartzman but he's a big boy!

Too much American angst. There are real problems in the world.
It started off fine and then spiralled into something else that seemed to just spiral out of hand with no control. It seemed they got so far and threw the script away and just made the rest up.
Acting was fine and it was a decent cast, just not good.
Not sure who or what the intended audience is but it certainly didn't speak to me.

Well, it did not happen at Vue Shepherds Bush. We waited until 11:10 and then we were told the distributor had given the wrong unlock key for the movie, so we were given complimentary tix for future films. It sucks, was really looking forward to it!

Probably the least "Sunday morning" film I've seen in a long time. Downright uncomfortable...

Shambles at the Edinburgh, Vue - Omini Centre, screening this morning.

We arrived thirty minutes early at 10am to get the good seats and they started screening the film right away. There were only about a dozen or so people in the auditorium.

The rest of the audience started arriving and looking very confused as to why the film was already screening and then after 15 minutes or so, the film suddenly stopped and a member of cinema staff announced that it would start again at 10:30, much to the relief of the later arrivals. I actually noticed some some details during the second screening of the first fifteen minutes that I had missed due to all the later arrivals distracting me first time round!

The film was a bit raunchy at the very beginning and a bit weird at the very end, but otherwise very funny. There were a few laugh out loud moments and it kept me interested to the very end to see how events would unfold. Surprisingly good.

Prosthetic penises! What was the point? How come they never floated off in the water?
This film was as flaccid as they were.
"Hysterically funny" is one quote I've seen. Really? Funny -peculiar, not funny - haha.
It I'd mercifully short, but I can't help wondering if it had to be edited to within an inch if it's life. There were quite a few scenes that seemed incongruous and barely made sense. I think the sense of it ended up on the cutting room floor.

I went into this with no prior knowledge, so no idea if it was a comedy, thriller, horror etc. 20 minutes into the film I still didn't know!

Did anyone else notice Kurt saying that he was the mayor when he was introducing himself to Alex in the park? He soon forgot all about that.

It definitely had promise but certainly fell short on fulfilling.

5/10

Thought this was going to be some kind of swingers film , wrong. Weird film about a guy coming to terms with his small penis . When does a straight guy suddenly decide to kiss a man with his wife watching . Weird weird weird

I noticed him saying that (actually, twice due to the film restart).

Wasn't it something like "I'm almost the mayor around here"?

I thought he was just trying to say that he was well-known and influential in the area and, as such, could give helpful support or references for their school applications.
