At Midnight

I highly recommend this. It's obvious this isn't a movie made for the theater and I can't rate it at those standards. It was a higher level of of a Lifetime/Hallmark movie.

This movie had a great storyline, acting was great, the Chemistry worked really good between actors and characters, and the it wasn't hoky. Definitely a feel good movie.

Diego did very well as a Hotel employee, and like always made it a fun movie. He doesn't' get the credit he deserves, hopefully they'll start casting him in larger budget blockbusters. Monica also did a great job, wasn't familiar with her work but was very impressed.

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.

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.

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.

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)
