In short, Black-and-white is a bad sign. A black-and-white film with young characters who slip into Woody Allen dialogue is very student film.

In Search of a Midnight Kiss has all the hallmarks of a production stale out of film school. It gives the impression of a writer who heard "Write about what you know" and didn't listen to Hitchcock who said, "Drama is life with the dull bits cut out."

Spending time with tedious people doesn't get better just because they are on-screen. In fact it's worse. A story put up on the screen is a promise -- to be entertaining, to be worth the time, to add value to the audience's life by insights or humour or comfort. The only comfort of this film is knowing it will be over, and the hope it offers is that the makers will find successful and fulfilling futures in fast food industry.
