Fantastic!

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I love dumb comedies that sometimes don't have the best storyline or acting but still make you laugh. This was not one of them! The storyline makes no sense, and it tries to be too many things in one film...funny, quirky, random high guy, bro-mance, father-daughter sentimental relationship, dad finding himself.... blah blah. Waste of time to watch..

A workaholic father who attempts to visit his daughter during a layover in LA, only to discover that she's disappeared, is forced to team up with her awkward ex-boyfriend to find her over the course of one transformative night. I saw the trailer for 'All Nighter' in various dvds as a way to promote the film and personally i wanted to see the film mostly because of J.K. Simmons who i think is an excellent actor but this film is a wasted potential for pretty much everybody i mean look at Taran Killam for example he is a great comedian i have watched him in SNL and he is pretty damn hilarious but in here he is just mostly annoying, Simmons and Hirsch do have a nice chemistry and their easily the best part of the film but some of their dialogue and the whole story with them trying to find Simmon's daughter goes nowhere and honestly it gets boring after a while it's not an awful film but it's not a good one either. (5/10)

I must say I am very surprised to see all these negative reviews, and the low score for this movie. I watched it with relatively low expectations, and ended up LOVING IT ! I do NOT understand any of the criticism from the other negative reviewers, I think all actors did a hell of job! It was thrilling and funny from beginning to end, and even very touching. I do not want to spoil anything so I will not go into details, but trust me, I am sure that MANY of you will love this movie, it had me glued to the screen from the beginning, and I honestly did not want it to end. To me this is a hidden gem, WATCH IT !

This film tells the story of a young musician, who is asked by his ex-girlfriend's father to search for the ex-girlfriend. The search turns out to be less than successful, but highly uneventful, as every lead turns out to be cold.The story of "All Nighter" is quite funny. On hilarious situation is followed by another, and the jokes just don't stop. The argument between Gary and his wife is funny, though Gary turned out to be a little annoying towards the end. JK Simmons has a magnetic presence about him, his mysterious career adds to this charm. I could not recognise Emile Hirsch, and I did wonder what he has been up to since his breakthrough in "Into the Wild". He has not been in any big films, which is a pity. I enjoyed this film, and thought it was good fun.
