REVIEW:
This movie is surprisingly kind of entertaining. With a story that sounds like something we’ve seen again and again (a man trapped in a single night of one crazy thing happening after another,) the movie manages to have some interesting situations and decent comedy behind it. As directed by Martin Scorcese, a man who rarely does comedy, there is definitely talent behind the scenes that is very apparent. A man strikes up a conversation at a restaurant with a beautiful woman. She gives him a phone number, and he calls it immediately, only to get invited over to her apartment. Only once there, he finds books about severe skin burns, gets turned off, and makes a run for it. But that’s just the start. This man goes from place to place, bar to bar, and finds himself invited up to the apartments of two other women. And yet, this is not a dating movie. It’s a movie about crazy situations. Every location he goes to is in the same couple of blocks, and as luck would have it, there’s a neighborhood burglar on the loose at the same time. Things only get wilder from there. This movie is by no means hilarious or great, but it is kind of fun.
