Adam Scott is best known for playing calzone-loving, all-around nice guy Ben Wyatt in the TV show, beloved by all demographics, “Parks and Recreation.” If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “I love Adam Scott, but I wish he was in a raunchy comedy that claims to push boundaries, and maybe it’s about some swingers or something and there’s the potential to see him nude,” you’re in for a treat. “The Overnight” was made just for you.
“The Overnight” opens at The Loft Cinema on July 3 with a special guest joining after the first 6:30 p.m.screening. Adam Scott will Skype in following the film, providing the perfect opportunity to discuss the film as well as any other burning questions surrounding the rising star.
Riffing off of the increasingly popular middle-aged, suburban comedies such as “Neighbors,” “The Overnight” tells the comedic adventure of Alex (Adam Scott) and Emily (Taylor Schilling), who have just moved to L.A. from Seattle and meet their first potential “California friends” Kurt (Jason Schwartzman) and Charlotte (Judith Godreche).
After being invited over for a welcome dinner, Alex and Emily reluctantly agree after asking the age-old movie adage, “What’s the worst that could happen?” What follows is an over-the-top escapade of comedic one-upsmanship.
