Stream it now The Good Night 2007

 

I absolutely loved this complex and beautiful film. I suspect not everyone understands it--which is too bad, but still I wouldn't change a thing. I get chills when Penelope's character is speaking but you hear Gwyneth's voice--it adds an important dimension for understanding the way Martin feels in his dreams (that was brilliant!!) I have watched it several times and the final seconds hit me hard every time. This movie is solidly in my top 10 favorites.

This was a pretty deep movie about life in general. How your dreams always seem more realistic and happy than your reality. The cast was pretty good in their roles. The story was very low key to the point where it seemed boring at parts, but it does pick up. Just wish I didn't have to wait for it. This movie is worth seeing once because you do walk away with a nice out look of what they are getting at.

this movie makes me sad every time ( 1 time actually) i watch it. And i'm not sure is it because it says something so deeply depressing or because it sucks so badly. I didn't care for any of this characters, i just thought they should all shoot themselves.

(***):

Interesting and well-acted.

boring, depressing, disjointed, unlikable. the best thing is probably gwyneth's acting, but unfortunately she plays a terrible person who needs slapped.

Jake Paltrow
The male character in the film describes me. Sometimes when we r afraid we wish to live in dreams

The Good Night :fresh: 6.0/10

A moderately decent flick, but not deserving of anything beyond a 6/10.

Caught in an unfulfilling relationship Gary meets the girl of his dreams in, well, his dreams. Captivated by this alluring, seeming perfect, dream-girl (Penelope Cruz as dream girl - Gary needs better taste...) Gary sets off to discover the thrills of lucid dreaming. Throw in Paul (Simon Pegg doing asshole quite well...), the lucid master Mel (Danny DeVito), and the tiresomely awful girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow) and you have a fabulous cast for a comedy that is left with very little to do.

Largely flat, The Good Night has an occasional laugh but only just avoids dullness.

The video store recommended me "The Good Night" & I only rented it because of the good cast. I didn't like it & I won't ever recommend it !!

I am pretty sure the reason why this many names starred in this film is because it's directed by Gwenyth Paltrow's brother. It's a joyless film. It just feels hollow.

I did not care for this movie. I thought it was pretentiously directed and written, uninvolving and poorly conceived. The acting is uneven. It's just not well done.
