If the funny red band trailer wasn’t enough to sell you on Patrick Brice‘s engaging and bizarre new comedy The Overnight, today brings another look at the film with the first NSFW seven minutes. As with the majority of Duplass-produced features, we follow a couple (Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling) past their honeymoon phase, but before a level of veritable maturity. Having recently moved from Seattle to Los Angeles with their sole child, they are looking to make friends, which they end up finding at a local playground, as seen in this preview. Before that, however, is a hilarious, awkward moment of intimacy that foreshadows what is to come.
We said in our review, “Told on an small scale mostly in one house, The Overnight is an entertainingly swift watch, with more or less a single book-ended punch line and a substantial deal of offbeat humor in the middle. Outside a very specific sequence, it’s hard to imagine the experience staying with one for much longer than its duration, but Brice is able to engineer enough endearing fondness in his characters that no matter how preposterous the night gets, we’re rooting for the quartet to solve their individual insecurities.”
Check out the entertaining selection below, but we’d recommend only watching if you weren’t set on already seeing it. Otherwise, this should convince one pretty quickly.
The Overnight opens on June 19th.
