Kevin has a drunken one night stand with Madeline. When he discover that she's actually his boss' jilted ex-mistress, he was horrified. As Madeline and Kevin banter through the night, they begin to fall for each other.
Moments do drag and there are some questionable wrinkles in either character's arc, but Night Owls is a gratifying subversion of the romantic comedy genre.
There's so much to love about Night Owls, and it all boils down to genuine, honest interactions between two people who aren't afraid to hold back -- much like Hood and Goldsmith's script.
Director Charles Hood's sophomore feature could have gone south in any number of ways. Fortunately, the execution here is impressively adroit, with a clever script enlivened by two charmingly compatible lead performances from Rosa Salazar and Adam Pally.
A confident, effective piece, Night Owls may not be a hoot, but it's a film that earns every emotional beat it drums out. With commendable performances and assured direction, this is the cream of what these Indie films can present.
Actors Adam Pally and Rosa Salazar, who carry the entire film, are not just game for this kind of material, they feel born to it. Their dynamic sparks all over the place.
