Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Kaydan Christian 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.

bob_meg As you live your day to day life, chances are you say to yourself over and over "Why can't so-and-so get what they deserve and most importantly, why can't I BE there when they get it?" Well, Brian Smith and Tony Montana are here to make your day with "Overnight," the doc they shot over a 3-year time span, chronicling their horrendous ride alongside Troy Duffy, the man who cursed us with the derivative and pointless "Boondock Saints." To say Duffy is an unlikable person is a tremendous understatement, but, a**hole or not, "Overnight" shares an important message that applies to all of us, whether we find ourselves in a pi**ing match with Harvey Weinstein or not: you just don't crap where you live.That Duffy had no idea of Weinstein's pull or cache in the business is all the proof you need that he's borderline retarded. But "Overnight" wastes no chance to show you, in vivid detail, what a boring, arrogant smug POS he is, to boot. And yes, Smith and Montana obviously have an agenda here. As you watch the film, it's obvious why they want to pay him back. That might really sway my opinion under other circumstances, but who can really blame them in this case? As a doc, "Overnight" is competently made. It won't blow your doors off with any real insights, innovative camera work or notable framing devices, but it's ability to get Duffy on camera, blowing his stack at film students, executives, agents, band members, and friends (ha ha) for no apparent reason other than to flex his own sagging muscle, is almost worth the price of admission. It's akin to getting your worst enemy on film doing all the evil stuff they normally do, only now you can prove it, and the gratification shines through.The ending is priceless, the quote by Goldman is wonderful, and the freeze-frame of the dive shot...perfect.

rexbgood The most disappointing thing about this film is knowing that Troy Duffy finally managed to put together another movie. The man is (or was if he learned anything) one of the biggest douches in Hollywood. A moderate talent at best, he has a chip on his shoulder the size of the rock of Gibraltar. Watching him fail is a sweet satisfaction. Some (myself included) want to see success go to not just those who have the talent, but also the class and appreciation when they get it. Nothing quite so rewarding as watching people like Lindsay Lohan, Tom Cruise, and Michael Jackson suffering defeat, failure and disappointment when they haven't the slightest degree of humility. When you get the world handed to you, you should humbly bow and say "thanks," not "It's about time. I deserve this!"

jonathan-577 I was so looking forward to watching the documentary self-immolation of the mastermind behind Boondock Saints, one of the most aggravating and pointless movies I've ever seen. But the makers of "Overnight" - buddies (ex?) of the mastermind in question - also need to learn how to make a movie. Various unsavoury remarks, yelling obscenities into the phone, and enjoying his alcohol do indeed make Mr. Duffy look like a putz. But it doesn't shed any insight into why the guy got a contract in the first place, what his creative process or vision is - what's Boondock Saints even about? How hard is it to meet Patrick Swayze? What are these strange institutional machinations in which our disgusting heroes are caught? Because the film doesn't try to answer these questions in any coherent way, it doesn't end up having dippity-doo to say about Hollywood either. So who cares?

IslandGirl "Overnight" was the most painful film I've watched. I was given the sense that I was watching something that I wasn't supposed to... From what a got from the "syndicate" that had to be subjected to a personality of delusional dimensions, it was a painful experience for them as well.The "experience" was the Troy hurricane, a firework that goes up with so much fanfare and noise but fades out. Throughout the film, the viewer gets to be seated shotgun next to Troy who is never at a loss of colorful words and opinions that only further damn him as the film develops. This was a film about a man digging his own grave and spitting on everyone that cared to listen. If Troy had a gentle moment, it was edited out. Does he have a gentle side? His burliness is tolerated by his own family and friends (barely). In the thin aired space of intimacy with Troy taking up all the resources and reminding everyone to thank him, I was uncomfortable watching for his inevitable demise. We have the filmmakers to thank for sitting in the hot seat and rolling the cameras.
