Late Night (2019)
5/10
Rather pointless film with one major fault . And one pleasant plus .
11 June 2019
And that fault is that where it should be funny it just isn't . Watched this in a mixed audience and I think I could count the number of laughs I heard on one hand . Performances are good, though Mindy kaling is excellent, but others not outstanding , Emma Thompson is well just Emma Thompson , John Lithgow didn't need to be in it and feels wasted , his part didn't need a star , he was just the supporting husband character .... Overall this felt rather dated , kind of early 90's feel to it . A feature length film that felt like an episode of a TV series. People that are throwing in terms to describe this as a great addition to films that have a #MeToo voice are sadly mistaken . Maybe Mindy kalings character but thompsons character is uneven and at times just plain unlikeable and that's even after the enevitable change of heart scenes that are such a cliche now . I won't even mention the guys who play the show writers, all quite unpleasant but unfairly portrayed as such due to this being a ladies film. Think biased is the word I'm thinking of ??
