Brice goes a bit too broad at times, but he keeps things just funny and edgy and open enough for "The Overnight" to work.

"The Overnight" isn't much - in fact, it's hardly anything. For what it is, though, it's enough.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Written and directed by Patrick Brice with atypical wit, the film is uncensored and hilariously unpredictable, jumping from one titillating gag to the next with the grace of a tightrope walker.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

It's a short film, weighing in at 79 minutes, but that feels about right. You probably wouldn't want to spend a lot more time with these folks, no matter how intriguing their company.

In its best moments, The Overnight deviates from the conventions of a party movie (or "sex comedy," as it has been christened) and veers toward the experimental, the uncanny, the unsettling.
