Mon Ex Beau-père et moi

I loved this movie. I could see why the dad didn't like the boyfriend in the beginning. And then it made me want to find out how they dealt with one another through the night. This movie got shitty ratings on rotten tomatoes but like all good movies it had my attention from start to finish. It was a fun adventure and I loved it the entire time. I rented a movie yesterday with a 90% rating and I couldn't even finish it so the current rating system has to change. I loved this movie, the actors, the story, and it made me feel awesome. That should be all that matters. Death to Rotten Tomatoes!!!

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.

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.

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.

Great actors doing their thing. Great casting and story.
