At Midnight

Super hero movie star, Sophie Wilder, catches her co-star-boyfriend cheating on her and has to finish making their current film on location in Mexico. Her agent, in a true conflict of interest who represents both of them, convinces Sophie not to let anyone know that her and Adam have broken up until after the filming wraps.

Stressed, but trying to make the most of it Sophie meets the assistant manager of the hotel, Alejandro. The two develop feelings for each other that they both must hide.

Lots of Spanish language in this film...which I loved and a slow burn romance that seemed fairly healthy. I think open minded romantics will enjoy this film. There were several great supporting characters that brought both the comedy and some of the more serious topics to light (like Alejandro's family).

The big surprise for me was the actor playing Alejandro, Diego Boneta. He was wonderful and reminded me of a Latin Michael Bublé.

"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. The direction and cinematography are impeccable, creating a visually stunning masterpiece. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat with its unpredictable twists and turns. It's a true testament to the magic of At Midnight filmmaking, and I can't recommend it enough!"

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 acting of the 2 main characters were great! They had wonderful chemistry. It was a really cute, fun love story but yet comical at times too! Better than a Hallmark movie. The only thing I would have changed was the pretend movie the main character played in. Instead of Firefinia maybe something more realistic. At first I thought it might be a science fiction or marvel type movie but then I realized she was an actress playing an actress. I never heard of the 2 main stars but they were very good! The co stars were good too especially the main characters (female) best friend. I would definitely recommend it.

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)
