Night Owls (2015)

The mixture of slapstick humour and seriousness isn't always blended that well. There is some good awkward realism though. The main guy is a beta-male dude who is generally well meaning despite being a bit fearful and judgemental. The girl is - I think - what they call a 'hot mess'. She mixes cynical and righteous anger with goofy wildness.

Saw this for free on Netflix and want my money back. After twenty minutes, I wanted to turn it off, but thought it has to get better. After another twenty minutes, I almost fell asleep, but thought there must be something coming. Another 20 minutes later, nothing had come. Another twenty minutes later, I hated myself for not bailing after the first twenty minutes.

A one night stand with an agenda. Both actors are excellent--combining great physical comedy with characters who are interesting and real. On the surface this is a movie about jealousy and revenge but within that shell we get to know two people who fall into the category of those that get used and one character, who is not present until the last scene, who is a master at using.As soon as I saw this i started looking for other films with Rosa Salazar. This is the only thing I found that showcases her substantial acting chops. If I'm fair Adam Pally is just as good as Salazar but being a guy I was slightly more captivated by her.If you can enjoy a movie without guns, super heroes or car chases you should check this out. You don't have to be a hopeless romantic but it would probably help.

I never saw The Apartmentthis movie is compared to, but this is a good movie. Rosa Salizar is beautiful. And I could watch her any day. Madeline ( Salizar) is a train wreck of a woman and Kevin ( Adam Pally) is a workaholic. Both are used by his boss (and her three year lover Will). What you see is two people who really do not like themselves. She tried to kill herself with pills and he tried years earlier by crashing a SAAB into a tree. Spoilers ahead: it is a very ambiguous ending where Kevin finds out from a Coach named Peter that something bad will happen to Madeline ( I suspect they will try and get her locked in. Mental Institution), and walks away from a Coaching position with Will and Madeline goes after him and asked him if he wants a ride and you do not know what direction he will choose. That said, I think he will walk away and she will go with him. Why? He learned from her that he was a coward clinging on to Will hoping to find the level of success he should have had ( he was High School Valvictorian). In her case she knows Will is no good, and her only hope is to go with him. Does this mean a "Happily Ever After" ending? Maybe Maybe not. But they need each other. Especially when it comes to the Will's of the World who has no respect for either ( he thinks Kevin will come back and Madeline will do whatever he wants). Life with Madeline will not be easy, she is bad tempered and yes, violent, but she is exactly what he needs ( some one to give him the swift kick he needs), and she needs Kevin someone who can keep her grounded: 9/10 stars.
