All Nighter features some good actors wasted on a weak "who cares" plot. In fact the most interesting thing about the film is how mature Analeigh Tipton appears these days compared to her teenage look in Crazy Stupid Love.
But it says something about a comedic film when far and away the funniest person is a supporting actor, in this case the the seasoned pro Kristin Schaal providing the best laughs.
The story deals with a 24 hour period where J.k.Simmons, Tipton's screen father and Emile Hirsch, her ex lover, look high and low for Tipton, who, unknown to them,had simply gone on a vacation. Yet instead of filling their search through Los Angeles with exciting adventures such as happened during movies such as Into the Night or After Hours, they simply go bar hopping with no laughs involved.
The moral of the film is supposed to be self awareness and changing for the better.
