Best movie of this year hands down!

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Wilson, a man almost thirty years is alone on the night of the New Year. He has fantasies with Min, girlfriend of Jacob. It recommended that he put an ad on a popular dating site and is contacted by Vivian, a rebellious girl, strict and that seems to want to do everything in a very big hurry. After they met between the two occur events which reveals that they could match but not before he take her out to dinner in a fancy restaurant and being put in a position to talk to her former boyfriend from witch receives threats and so he have to rush to help her go home to recover some things before Jack comes and gives them fire. Did this for then to go to the party where his friend Jacob will propose marriage to Min. Things take a strange turn when she jumps on him to kiss but he then rejects her. He tells Vivian what happened but it does not upset because both understand the situation and what they wanted exactly happens will not be alone New Year's Eve and eventually Wilson finds what he wanted, the most desired midnight kiss. Although the action takes place in December, in the winter, I have not seen even a snowflake not an inch of snow on the streets and do not know why it was filmed in black and white. Maybe it was hiding the fact that the outside was another season? Anyway a good movie about love differently than others seen so far from where we can learn something because it can happen in real life.

There's something so utterly charming about these big-hearted slacker-type films that appeals to so many of us who have been there before: directionless, hopeful, longing for someone special to hold at midnight...After an incredibly bad year, some loser says, "F it," and puts out an ad' for a date, because at least it's a step in the right direction. When his advertisement is responded to by a seemingly neurotic hot blonde in sunglasses, the possibility for comedy is nigh boundless... only, we instead come to know these two lost souls as real people, with real emotions, real dreams and real baggage. And that's where the charm of this flick lies: in the way that the characters go from something you've seen too many times before, to sneaking inside of you so that by the end, you really care what becomes of them.So, why only a 5?Well, unfortunately, I've seen a lot of films like this one, and compared to them, it's pretty much middle-of-the-road, albeit, compared to Transformers, it's the 10 others have gifted it with. Also, I had a big problem around mid-point with the fact that Wilson (the "loser") didn't just walk away after being slapped. Had this been resolved instantly, I'd have thought nothing of it, but the situation dragged out to the point of stalking, which kind of made me lose a lot of respect for his character.The other fault is that I just couldn't shake comparisons of Before Sunrise, which is a film that changed the way I view films forever! Hell, even the ending of this is... Well, I shan't ruin it.A very recommendable film if you've not seen the aforementioned, otherwise, I can't honestly say that you're missing a great deal.

Despite the fact that In Search of a Midnight Kiss was shot with that cheap digital video that I HATE, HATE, HATE, (seriously, I let out an audible sigh every time I realize that the movie I'm about to see uses it) I found it to be pretty enjoyable. Refreshing, even. It's a tale of loneliness, Los Angeles, and New Year's Eve. Depressed and lonely Wilson puts an ad on Craigslist at the bidding of his best friend, in a last-ditch effort to not be alone on New Year's Eve. The ad is answered by an aspiring actress named Vivian, and the two of them meet and spend the rest of the day in a long, rambling, eventful date that takes them through various parts of Los Angeles. It's actually a lot cooler than I make it sound. Sort of a drama and a realistic comedy, with the ups, downs, joys, and uncertainties of a real relationship condensed into the events of one night. There's genuine chemistry between the two leads, and the whole thing feels surprisingly genuine, if you let yourself get into it. Crappy video aside, this is a movie that I'd recommend to anyone, be they romantic or jaded.

With a micro budget and a cast of no name stars this is a film that will go unnoticed by many and almost will be ignored by the masses due to its micro budget and lack of advertising. It's obvious that a lot of effort and care has been put into the making of this very involving film. Hopefully, it will beat the odds and find a wide and appreciative audience. It was certainly a pleasure watching such an engaging and enjoyable low budget romantic drama. A huge contrast in comparison to mindless big budget movies. The wonderful and well developed script was integral to this movie. The plot centers around a depressed writer and an eccentric girl who meet on New Years Eve after she answers his ad on Craigslist. Although, somewhat draggy in the middle the movie really picks as it goes along hitting it's mark on a perfect note at the end. Some moments of comedy occasionally come off as amateurish. Thankfully, this is not the focus of the movie. It's very emotionally open, honest and frank. More often than not the movie feels genuine in the way that the storyline develops and eventually concludes. Budget constraints are noticeable but don't significantly detract from the production.
