The Overnight (2015)
2/10
Exactly what you'd expect and less

The movie wasn't awful in terms of acting or directing. What I found horrendous was that it is EXACTLY what you expect from the trailer. Exactly. Take the trailer, play it in slow motion for a bit over an hour - there's the movie.

It's designed to make you uncomfortable. It does that.

Does the trailer look like it has a swinger vibe to it? Well, what could they possibly do to add a "twist" for two (potentially) swinging couples? If you don't see the end coming from a mile away, you're not thinking very hard.

What the movie taught me is that these are people I definitely do not want to know. Maybe you do. Whatever.

That said, the entire reason I wrote this review is to say, with certainty, that the individuals who wrote the other reviews complaining about the male nudity have NEVER SEEN A NUDE MALE. These were soooo clearly rubber prosthetics that there appearance was probably the only time I laughed in the movie.

I love Adam Scott. I think the Duplass brothers have some talent. I don't think this movie is a comedy by any stretch of the imagination. I'll call it an idiotic version of the Ice Storm.
