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.
