Reviews

trudyjessup Met Salazar a few years back so checked out the reviews for this film, and seemed overall positive and worth a try. After watching this mess though, I have to believe that all the "rave" reviews must be from friends and family of the people involved in the film, or from the people themselves. I can't imagine anyone being blown away by this one. It's watchable, but not very good.
Jimmy P The actors are awake in this sleeper. This is kind of a one night stand gone awry that festers into a situational comedy of sorts and an immature path of reasoning and conversation. This film was like listed like a RomCom Dramedy, but it's more of a morality play. It's something like a 20-something smaller subset of the Breakfast Club, there are no fully functioning and mature adults in the house, done via Indie low budget minimal style. Please add some music it goes a long way in a film. It's thought evoking, with good depth and dialogue. Still I had to check the duration a few times, but there are some great scenes. I don't like the ambiguous ending, but in life that's a reality of a tense scenario. I would have preferred a film like The Night We Never Met or Addicted To Love.
David Ware 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.
zetes 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.
