Charming, quirky and seemingly harmless, the intriguing oddball urges them to join him and his wife for a playdate and pizza dinner. From the moment they walk into his palatial abode and meet his gorgeous French actress wife, Charlotte (<strong>Judith Godreche<\/strong>), their night becomes a series of unexpected, at times unnerving adult adventures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to discuss the details of their drug-addled descent down the rabbit hole of kink that ensues after Kurt sings the kids to sleep with a lullaby without wandering into spoiler territory. Suffice it to say that it involves colorful paintings of a certain body part, videos of a fetish you\u2019ve never seen depicted in a mainstream film before, full-front nudity that\u2019s shocking in more ways than one, and myriad other salacious surprises.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/the-overnight.648.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1167\" src=\"http:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/the-overnight.648.jpg\" alt=\"the-overnight movie review\" width=\"648\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/the-overnight.648.jpg 648w, https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/the-overnight.648-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/the-overnight.648-330x185.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Brice\u2019s script is slight on depth of character development, and some of the situations seem more designed to elicit shock value than to drive the story forward. But the lead actors are all perfectly cast (Scott and Schwartzman prove particularly strong), and the unique angle and short run-time (around 80 minutes) ensure you never get bored. Though light on emotional impact, the experimental approach and winning performances make this an enjoyable sex farce. \u00a0<em><strong>\u2013Bret Love<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>RATING:<\/em> R (strong sexuality, graphic nudity, language and drug use)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>GENRE:<\/em> Comedy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>DIRECTOR: <\/em>Patrick Brice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>STARS:<\/em> Adam Scott, Taylor Schilling, Jason Schwartzman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>STUDIO:<\/em> The Orchard<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take a heaping dose of 1969\u2019s swinging romp Bob &amp; Carol &amp; Ted &amp; Alice, add a healthy splash of the middle-aged-parents-trying-to-keep-things-fresh spice of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1168,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[3,11],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/the-overnight2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5slei-iM","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culturated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
