The Overnight (2015)
6/10
could be more awkward and need more material
27 November 2015
Alex (Adam Scott) and Emily (Taylor Schilling) move to L.A. with their son R.J. One day at the park, R.J. befriends Max. Max's father Kurt (Jason Schwartzman) invites them over for a visit. The adults spend time together that night and strange things start bubbling up. Kurt has a hobby of painting butt-holes. Charlotte (Judith Godrèche) acts in milk-pumping videos. Kurt goes skinny dipping and he's revealed to have a giant dick. Alex is immediately taken back with insecurity about his micro dick.

I wouldn't call it funny. It's a little uncomfortable but mostly endearingly weird. I get a feeling that Scott and Schwartzman should be a lot more wacky or a lot more awkward. The movie sets up a lot of weirdness but it's a little too nice about it. The naked dancing is great. It's also a little short which gives off a feeling of a need for more material.
