This seems like it should be very funny or at least very insightful, but it is neither, it is kinda awkward and most characters seem mostly pouty. There are interesting moments, but it’s mostly uncomfortable without very much to say.

Where do I begin? I've been marinating with this film for almost 24 hours. Being nearly 50 years old, nothing much surprises me anymore when I watch a movie. But this is the exception that proves the rule. Throughout the extremely short 79 minute running time, I progressed from "they wouldn't go there, would they?" to "are they actually going there?" to "OMG, they went there!". This puts outrageous comedies like THE HANGOVER to shame, and hats off to everyone involved for having the "cajones" to let it all hang out. Literally. This is not for the easily offended - let's just put that out there right now. All four actors are extremely appealing and, dare I say, brave. It's not a movie that made me laugh out loud a lot, to be quite frank, but I was consistently amused and tickled by the situations and the predicaments in which these characters find themselves. And, if you dig a little deep, there's actually quite a bit this movie has to say about subjects such as adult friendship and the limits we place upon ourselves. I don't want to make this sound more profound than it is, but it actually got me thinking quite a bit. And let me reiterate, this is not for the easily offended. I'm shocked this got by with an "R" rating. Enter at your own risk, but you might not feel as guilty as you expect once it's over.

Doesn't really take off as a semi-raunchy comedy but it's often an unpredictable 90 minute feature with a crazy all-nighter type of script. The performances and characterization are definitely the strongest assets here.

Not as "odd" as reviewers have said. It's definitely a one-of-a-kind movie, if you can even call it a movie--it's only 1 hour and 15 minutes long. It's basically just one weird night where 2 couples in their late 20s/early 30s who've recently met get exceedingly drunk and stoned--while their 2 little kids are conked out asleep in the house after they've all had a pizza dinner--and end up talking on their patio, in the pool, in the hot tub, in Jason Schwartmann's basement artist's studio (where apparently he photographs people's bungholes and later creates paintings based on the photos and also evidently where he and his wife shoot pseudo-porn films), and in the wife's private bedroom. It's mostly not laugh out loud funny, but it's bemusing. If you've ever experienced a weird time with people you developed a fast friendship with---whether it ended up being super fun or going South--you'll appreciate this. It's sort of a stoner film in that you and the main couple characters aren't sure exactly what's going on. Are their new friends total pervy weirdos? Are they just stoned and imagining it? Maybe this is the way people in California are (the main couple, who just moved to California, considers this might be a possibility) and maybe the people whose house they're at are the "normal" ones for California....and maybe the main couple is just uptight? Are the things Jason Schwartzmann's huge dick character saying innocuous? simply really direct and friendly? open-minded and progressive? playful, flirtatious...? I found it quite entertaining. Definitely original little film. And it was funny in its way.

Interesting premise, but it's more weird than it is funny.

The Overnight doesn't overstay its welcome. It's a brisk hour and 15 and is better off in its brevity. While it does have something to say about fledgling adult sex lives, the intended comedy that plays off of the premise is only marginally funny and there isn't enough dramatic development to firmly place this as an effective dramedy. Overall...it's fine. Unaffecting in most ways outside of those fake dicks and some squirminess.

Really good watch, could watch again, and can recommend (at least for the sexually open minded.) This movie focuses less on young rampant sex and more of the decline that people sometimes get as they get older and want to be more adventurous without destroying their relationships. It also doesn't treat it as ridiculous a thing, while still openly admitting that it is something foreign and strange. The movie does a great job of leading the audience (alongside the main character couple) into this strange new world, not of debauchery, but love and connection. Given that the premise of the movie is them getting together, it's not a spoiler, but this is a romantic comedy for couples, basically. There is plenty funny to this movie, but if you're not into sex-based comedy, then this isn't for you. If you liked "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy", then you should give this a watch.

Awful. Just plain awful.

Yeesh! This is like the worst of Joe Swanberg meets a bad French sex romp or something. Jason Schwartzman has always been a bit creepy, but as a full-on grown up...'guy', he's even moreso. And then there's Adam Scott. I always get this sense with him that he puts on that he's such a 'hip', smart guy who listens to the best cutting edge tunes but he's really into Maroon 5 or Matchbox 20. But Schilling and Godreche salvage a bit of this dick fest. Not without merit as a film and as possible idea for one, but being so short, it felt rushed. More time with the characters would've made it a better film with more options, or because of those options. 2 stars

Disgusting. Adam Scott is off my "must see" list. Pointless garbage. Audience score in the 50's, critics in the 80's. Learned what to pay attention to. Finally, don't look for humor in this "comedy" - nothing funny in this film - just one cringe worthy scene after another.

Decided to watch this movie as some of my favourite actors in it. On the plus side, good to know they are human and need the cash like everyone else as I can't see any other reason why anyone would choose to star in this predictable, dull, un-funny movie. Fortunately, I had the advantage to fast forward to make it less painless. I could spend time talking about how the film is exploring relationships in a modern era, marriage and sexuality and all the predictable blah etc. like some of the positive reviews I have read by the pretentious (likely to enjoy a painting by a stray cat that they state could be exhibited at the Tate) but let's keep it real...boringly predictable from the outset.

It was awful. There felt like there was no discernible plot.

great and true humans are weird

What even was the point of this movie? They partied, about had an orgy (or did have an orgy) little foggy on those details and then it was over. I love me some Taylor Schilling but wtf?

This was an over sexualized comedy, it had a chance to be good but failed. The concept may be somewhat original, but the execution was not flawless. The actors interesting enough worked hard to keep this a float, to me it drowned.

Weird! Not much of a story line. Scenes jump around a lot.

From one scene to the next, you don't know where the film will take you, or what the characters are thinking. Intriguing premise of curiosity in relationships.

Two couples (Jason Schwartzman and Judith Godrèche / Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling from Orange Is the New Black") make a playdate which grows into something more than sipping wine and watching the children play together. Found this little indie thing in Netflix, watched it to see Scott and Schwartzman who have a habit of appearing in comedies that I like (in addition to many generic movies but whatever, I like those dudes). The Overnight" is not really a drama nor comedy but a tale of relationships: what makes us get together and stay together. Despite the promising topic and pretty cool promos, It does not really go anywhere. There's no suspense of any kind (surely a killing blow to any movie about relationships) and the approach is too improvisational (a lot of dialogue, mostly just talk-talk-talk without any memorable lines or highlights). But hey, I saw my dudes and it's over quickly, in 83 minutes. Exec produced by the Duplass brothers which gives you strong hint about what to expect from the general vibe. Written and directed by one Patrick Brice, whose only previous movie was horror Creep". Whatever this means.

the mysterious description sucked me in, to a very cringe worthy movie..

Alex (Adam Scott), Emily (Taylor Schilling), and their son, RJ, have recently moved to? ?Los Angeles' Eastside from Seattle. Feeling lost in a new city, they are desperate to find their first new friends. After a chance meeting with Kurt (Jason Schwartzman) at the neighborhood park, they gladly agree to join family pizza night at the home. But as it gets later and the kids go to bed, the family "playdate" becomes increasingly more revealing and bizarre as the couples begin to? ?open up.
