IMDb 6.1 Metacritic 65 RT 83%

The Overnight is a quirky, offbeat comedy that critics enjoyed more than audiences—the strong RT score suggests it's clever and well-made, but the middling IMDb rating hints it's a divisive watch. Watch it tonight if you're in the mood for something weird and unconventional; skip it if you want broad laughs and comfort.

Plot

Alex, Emily, and their son, RJ, are new to Los Angeles. A chance meeting at the park introduces them to the mysterious Kurt, Charlotte, and Max. A family “playdate” becomes increasingly interesting as the night goes on.
