At Midnight

Super cute classic romcom with a great supporting cast. It doesn't take itself too seriously which I loved a lot. The main actors were great and had great chemistry. I loved that it was bilingual and bicultural. It also gave a telenovela feel mixed with old Hollywood/Nora Ephron. I'm a huge romcom fan and this is definitely my favorite of 2023. Really great and cute and sweet and sexy. So fun to see Anders Holm in the movie (I'm a big workaholics fan). Give it a watch if your interested in something fun and cute. I'm giving it a 10 because it nailed its genre and it was well acted with super funny side characters.

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.

As "At Midnight" (2023 release; 99 min.) opens, we see a clip of the latest superheroes movie "Super Society", starring Adam and Sophie, also an item off screen. Alas, Sophie finds out that Adam is cheating on her. When the movie production moves to Mexico, we are introduced to Alejandro, the hotel's assistant manager and all-around good guy. It's not long before Alejandro and Sophie run into each other...

Couple of comments: this is the 2nd feature length from director Jonah Feingold ("Dating & New York"). Here he brings us a romcom that is as breezy and pleasant as it is utterly forgettable and predictable. The movie's opening credits try to position the film as a 1950s-reminding romcom, perhaps even as a screwball comedy (which is quickly abandoned). It certainly helps that there is good chemistry between the two leads: Monica Barbaro (also in last year's "Top Gun Maverick") as Sophie, and Diego Bonte as Alejandro. The beautiful scenery in Mexico is also a plus, and the photography takes maximum advantage of the sun light. So it's all good while you are watching it, just don't expect something memorable.

"At Midnight" started streaming on Paramount+ a few days ago, just in time for Valentine's Day (of course!). If you are in the mood for a pleasant but forgettable romcom, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

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. 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!"
