WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Alex (Scott) and Emily (Schilling) are a married couple who have recently moved to Los Angeles with their young son R.J. (Hermes). At a nearby park, they come across another couple, Kurt (Schwartzman) and Charlotte (Godrèche), along with their own son Max (Moritt), who welcome them with open arms and arrange a playdate for both children at their extravagant LA home. The playdate goes well enough, but when the children are put to bed things become much more interesting for the adults…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A wild, unpredictable and utterly hilarious satire, The Overnight is a Sundance hit where the laughs come quick and easy with lashings of adult debauchery.
