View all categoriesOur take
All Night Wrong is a dark comedy about a blind date that spirals into a night with a stolen car, cash, and a dead body in the trunk. Frequent f-word and s-word language, a knife wound, bloody handprints, and covering-up panic keep the tone sharp. Sex talk, affair chatter, and a drug-dealer subplot. There is also grief for a young widow. Older teens only. Preferably with a parent for the crime and language load.
Uplifting themes
Honesty about insecurity peeks through the chaos now and then between the leads. Characters also try, imperfectly, to do the right thing when cornered. The leads mean well at times when loyalty kicks in and they look out for each other. They still keep choosing cover-ups over sense, so they are shaky role models The leads mean well at times when loyalty kicks in and they look out for each other.

Story (may spoil tone)
Gary and Ell (a married man with an inferiority complex, and a grieving young widow) meet on a blind date only to wind up stealing a killer's car along with a dead body and $40,000.
