You won't be disappointed!

Waste of time

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Not a Hollywood explosion-type of film, if you want that, go else-where. This film was a surprise, the log-line caught us enough to stick it on one evening - last night, with no expectations. Right off-the-bat the situation isn't quite right, which piqued curiosity and draws you in. As it progresses quite quickly the characters become more and more engaging, more and more real, very well acted by the two relative unknowns, absolutely understanding the depth and identity of the characters they portray.From a writing and directing standpoint, these guys absolutely nailed the complexity of people, and managed to do a 'one-location film' completely believably without drawing attention to that fact, brilliant and smart filmmaking.This is a very entertaining and refreshingly different relationship film, and thank god for it, absolute praise from me, they know what they're doing.

This hackneyed formulaic plot is haltingly over-acted with just a few moments of near-shine. The movie chronicles two happenstance one night standers who talk through an overnight session of every conceivable emotion. The male lead (Adam Pally) seems weak, ineffective, and unconvincing, while his counterpart female lead (Rosa Salazar) acts out her role in a small notch above that. One could use this movie as background noise while looking for something good to watch. Fast-forward to the end and miss nothing. The beginning promises an enjoyable flick, but that is quickly diminished once the actors begin sharing. There is no clue as to why, for example, actors are wearing robes one moment, and clothes the next. The film totters between a sanguine buildup and then a plop on its face, and this happens several times. Writers Seth Goldsmith and Charles Hood's best moments were leaving the end quasi-open, but even that has a hint of predictability. Disappointed in the film - not for night owls.

She's great. Her dialog and character has depth and impact, and she does a fantastic job with the physical nature of her role here.Night Owls isn't a new formula.. it's basically "The Apartment" from 1960 with a modern "Very Bad Things"/"The Overnight" kinda vibe to go along with it.The lead actor here is also fine, but maybe a bit too obtuse, weak, and perhaps gullible to be a likable character. The other issue I have is his job. The whole sports theme, for me, seemed like a bad idea. I wish they would have made the role of "Will" a white collar financial type or something a bit more of a 'professional' dynamic. For me that whole sub-plot is kinda weakened by making him a college football coach. Even some of the writing there is a little sloppy. Like if he's such a legendary coach with such a flawless track record, then why is he at such a small school. That's a minor quip, but it's more of a dynamic thing, as the film has that high-brow look and feel, and that dynamic just doesn't work for me.All nitpicking aside. The leads here have some chemistry, and there's some decent laughs(mostly physical comedy). I did feel some emotion and their connection.The film isn't overlong or fancy. An adult-indie that is pretty fun for the first hour. The ending is a bit predictable but not terrible.Wouldn't mind seeing Rosa in some bigger roles.59/100

A riff on The Apartment that takes place over one night at a single location. Adam Pally goes home with Rose Salazar for a one night stand. As Pally's on the way out the door, he finds a piece of mail sitting on the counter and realizes he's actually at his boss's house. He goes back to confront Salazar and finds that she's attempted to overdose on sleeping pills. He idolizes his boss, a famous college football coach, and wants to prevent a scandal, so with the help of a co-worker (Rob Huebel) and a doctor Huebel knows (Tony Hale), he brings her back to consciousness and is forced to stay with her all night so she doesn't fall back asleep. They then have a long conversation. The film is fairly predictable, but the two leads are both good. Pally is, of course, the reason I watched this. I love him on Happy Endings. He's funny here, and he does well with the dramatic scenes, too. Salazar reminds me a lot of Aubrey Plaza. In the end, the film doesn't amount to much. It doesn't feel like there's really enough material to stretch it out to 90 minutes. It's totally not bad, though.
