The Overnight (2015)
7/10
Pretty funny, not-stupid modern comedy.
10 June 2020
I'm kind of surprised at the ratings for this movie. Aside from the degenerate actions of the characters, I thought it was pretty funny.

This soon turns into a downward spiral. Similar to many typical raunchy comedies, our middle aged characters (all parents of small children) get drunk and smoke pot like a bunch of failed teenage high-school drop outs. Eventually we their actions turn more and more sexual, past the point that you, the viewer, are convinced of some sort of swinger conspiracy.

The story goes on and some motivations are realized. There's not really any moral lesson to this movie, so don't expect that. I won't spoil the ending but I will say I was hoping for something different.

Regardless, I thought the movie was funny and entertaining and awkward, just as it was meant to be. I don't connect with these characters in any way, and would never find myself in a position such as theirs, but from an outsiders perspective, it was an interesting ride.
