1 Night in San Diego

Does not represent San Diego at ALL. If you've never been to SD and watch this film you're definitely getting the wrong picture. Acting was horrible, story was horrible. Not funny at all. All these people saying it was funny, like how?? It was honestly boring and superficial AF.

Extremely poor writing and acting. I would be very, very, surprised if this ever actually played in a theater. Seems more like a community college film class project.

I see several 10s here. People who are very obviously related to the movie.

This was a PG version of a raunchy comedy. It had it's laugh out loud moments but the movie felt long at 1:24. You probably have better choices to watch.

I loved the two leads in this film! It was light and really fun.

Admittedly, I may not be the target audience of this film. I'm not a millennial, I have never laughed at a College Humor skit, and I believe that the pinnacle of artistic expression is David Lynch telling the weather for a city that I don't live in and picking a random number out of a jar every day.

So I think you can understand the rating I give this film, but that doesn't excuse the lazy writing, poor post-production, and a film that all around lacks thematic direction and a soul. I think the director intended to make a low-brow buddy comedy but Female(tm), and I can't help from asking myself: why would you want any more of those? The world of film definitely needs more female voices in female centric narratives, but Lawson's evidently hollow Girl Boss mentality makes a film that's devoid of a well-rounded personality. Not to mention jokes that fall flat, scenes that go on for far too long, a generic yet oddly on the nose soundtrack, and a climax so groundbreaking it can only rival watching paint dry.

The fact that anyone that has the money to buy the newest DSLR and hire C-list actors can make a movie is the greatest tragedy of our time. That's what watching this film makes me want to believe at least, but I know that's not true. Sofia Coppola has proven that priveledged white girls can make good films too, and I hope Lawson can take some notes from her.
