There are a couple of jarring sequences that feel tonally wrong, but, overall, Landis and scripter Ron Koslow keep the picture sure-footed and fleet-footed.

"Into the Night" features cameo appearances by 11 directors, none of whom had the sense to get behind the camera and help the 12th, John Landis.

Goldblum, who usually elevates any material, seems asleep at the wheel in a role where his character does virtually nothing but drive Michelle Pfeiffer around wherever she asks him to.

Because of all the cameos and in-jokes, this gimmicky weightless film should appeal to mostly film buffs.

| Original Score: B- | May 3, 2016

The tone, despite the frequent bloodletting, is light, and the film works better than the script would indicate.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2008

The film itself tries sometimes too hard for laughs and at other times strains for shock.

Pfeiffer in particular takes the sort of glamorous yet preposterous part that generally defeats even the best actress and somehow contrives to make it credible every inch of the way.

| Apr 21, 2007

Landis at his most cameo-obsessed and self-indulgent.

Maybe what the movie needed was more professional discipline and less geniality. As a rule, it's probably better to throw the party after the filming is finished.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 23, 2004

An uninteresting and off-putting movie.
