Uma Noite e Tanto

A nice movie to watch, at first it was a bit plain but then it got really funny.

The actors are good, I did not get bored at any point. Maybe the first 10 minutes did not have much action but then everything changed.

It s funny but it also makes you feel like you have been there, in a similar situation.

It s more of a laid-back movie, not one with a complex scenario but it wasn't a waste of time. Made me smile and made my day better.

The story: Emily Hirsch is a total f9ck up who fails at everything. His girlfriend breaks up with him and she suddenly disappears afterwards. The father (brilliant role by J. K. Simmons) starts searching for her.

The good: excellent acting performances, which are constantly witty and surprising. Lots of hilarious twists and turns. Simply a good fun movie about a search for a daughter, which turns into a rollercoaster disaster hunt!

Any bad? Cant think of any. Enjoy the ride!

I enjoyed this movie. It had a good story that flowed nicely. Perfectly cast. Thanks!

I admit it. I've become a sucker for J. K. Simmons. I like him in just about everything he's in. And that's nice, because he does a lot of 'smaller' films, and I really like smaller films. 'All Nighter', is one of those. There's nothing 'big' happening here, just the story of two (mostly) unconnected people, who unexpectedly come together to go looking for someone. That someone is Ginnie; the daughter of one, and the former girlfriend of the other.

So what is 'All Nighter'? A comedy? A quest? A buddy movie? A heart tugger? Yes . . . . kinda. I suppose it's all those things, but then again, not really any of them. Like I said earlier, it's one of those 'small' movies about a small event in the lives of a few (mostly) ordinary people. No Super-Heroes, no special effects, and ultimately, nothing all that life-altering. At least on the surface. In the end, 'All Nighter' is really just a story about the need for connections in life. How being involved with those around us is the only meaningful currency we can use to measure our own wealth.

Hirsch or Simmons, and usually both together, are onscreen for almost the entire film, and their evolving relationship was enough to keep me interested. It's not the most original of stories, but that's okay. Sometimes a film doesn't need to be, so long as you enjoy spending the next 90 minutes with the people in question. And in this case, it worked out well enough.

Very pleasant movie. Fun enough to be worth watching. Nice cast. Clearly meant for Jack Black and it would've been a box office hit in that case, but enjoyable, light fare nonetheless.
