At Midnight

If you're looking for a pleasant way to spend an hour and half and not tax your brain try this movie. It's definitely in the Hallmark mode and even has believable chemistry between the main leads. I especially like Monica Barbaro who has had roles on 2 shows I liked that were cancelled Splitting Up Together and Stumptown as well as some others. The supporting cast was good although I thought the agent was a bit cringeworthy. I liked the Spanish/English dialogue but I would've like subtitles in the English speaking parts. The setting was also quite lovely. However it felt Paramount definitely made a low budget movie compared to Netflix or Prime. Still as a whole I liked this movie and rated as a tv movie.

The dialogue was absolutely terrible. I mean, some of the writing was trying to be self-aware but was actually just cringeworthy. But the poor writing mixed with the mediocre acting actually had me laughing out loud throughout the entire film. The lines are so shocking that I physically could not believe it was in the movie. It was pretty fun in that regard. The plot is as generic as one could expect. Monica Barbaro was actually pretty solid in this film. I think she has a ton of potential in a film that was actually attempting to be good. Overall, I would not recommend At Midnight unless you are interested in laughing at its absurdity.

Score: 33% Verdict: Bad (but fun)

It was not Hallmark cringe but it was not remarkable either. I found that the storyline was too simple, like imagine you can skip whole parts of the film without missing anything. It lacked that special something. Also the thing between them, it all came together so fast. You couldn't tell when did they fell in love or what? Which is not good for a rom com. The actors were fine and the leads fitted. Not in a way that they would get you shipping them though. And that's also not good for a rom com. I wouldn't watch it again but go ahead and watch if you have a couple of hours to spare and want to relax.

Okay guys. When you choose this movie to watch, and other movies like it, you have to understand what kind of ride you're going on. You don't get in line for the goliath at Six Flags if you want a calm nice relaxing afternoon theme park ride. In the same way you don't put on "at midnight" if you're looking for awards caliber, cinema changing content. So you have to calibrate yourself to what you're choosing to watch. All that said, it was a super cute, intentionally cheesy, funny, romantic comedy that kept me and my fiancée, laughing and smiling and giving each other cheesy giggles from beginning to end. So If you don't have a giant, self-important, film-snob stick up your a**, I think you'll Enjoy this movie a lot.

"From the moment the opening credits roll, this romance movie takes you on an unforgettable journey. The story is a perfect blend of suspense, humor, and heartwarming moments. The ensemble cast delivers outstanding performances, immersing you in the characters' lives. The special effects are mind-blowing, adding a new level of immersion to the narrative.

It's a true testament to the magic of At Midnight filmmaking, and I can't recommend it enough!"
