The Good Night Reviews
[A] witless whimsy.
| Feb 4, 2015
Flawed, but with enough interest to suggest Jake Paltrow may be one to keep an eye out for in future.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 13, 2008
...a low-key yet consistently engaging effort...
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 12, 2008
This sleepyhead Prince Charming is in for a rude awakening when the choosy, chain smoking Anna, actual female that she is, finds him an annoying loser, and at best undesirable. Au revoir, unconditional love. Someone wake me when it's over.

The Good Night is a superlative feature film from Jake Paltrow; a fulfilling buffet of aches and pains from the discontented, poured into an amusing, uneasy comedic fantasy that barely misses a step.
| Original Score: A- | Mar 11, 2008
Writer-director Jake Paltrow's (yes, brother of Gwennie) debut feature is exquisitely romantic, painful, and riotous; everyone's lonely and going about it wrong.
| Original Score: A | Feb 3, 2008
If the hero has trouble dozing off, that's not a problem which will affect many viewers of this movie.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 18, 2008
As a comedy of male delusion, Night seems to shrink from its flimsy dramatic subtexts; as a probing of dream and reality in love, its pretensions to depth suggest a neutered comedic courage: Woody Allen-lite.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 18, 2008
Such a big grey blanket of misery it should have been called "Eternal Cloud Cover".
| Jan 18, 2008
A mish-mash of secondhand ideas, with some real misfires.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 18, 2008
What comedy there is fails to ignite and the romance is stillborn since we don't care who sleeps with whom or whether they do it in real life or the dream world.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 18, 2008
An all-star cast and Pegg's larger-than-life turn can't stop this offbeat yarn being a bit of a snooze.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 18, 2008
Sadly not the stuff of dreams.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 18, 2008
Skimming through comedy, satire and cautionary tale, it's all somewhat vague - exasperatingly so when suggestive artiness seems to have been intended. Not as clever as it thinks.
| Original Score: 1/6 | Jan 18, 2008
Despite some wry humour, the miscast leads and sour tone are as out of place in this Woody Allen landscape as Gwyneth's silly wig.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 18, 2008
The Good Night toys with some interesting ideas but it never quite works, largely because none of the characters are particularly likeable.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 17, 2008
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 24, 2007
The movie drags on.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 2, 2007
Feature debut of Jake Platrow (brother of star Gwyneth Paltrow, who co-stars) is a disappointing meditation on the danger and seductiveness of dreams, a pale imitation of Woody Allen's edgier urban comedies.
| Original Score: C | Oct 31, 2007
