Could have went so many ways but it didn't. Could have had an awesome twisted ending but it didn't. The movie just ended, then you go that's it!? Big Ugh

I have a great distaste for Romanic Comedy's but I stayed with this one until the bitter end to see if they fall in love. This movie reminds me of "The Owl and the Pussyfoot" which is done far better than this movie, also everything was unbelievable especially when she only slaps a little bit at her. Thus my ratings of *3* stars!!!

Normally not a fan of indie films. They're slow, ponderous, self-indulgent and artsy with really annoying piano or guitar scores. But every now and then a masterful one shows up. Night Owls is one of them. The director, Charles Hood is clearly a student of the classic "well made" films of the old masters. In this case, that old master is Billy Wilder and Night Owls is an updated tribute to one of Wilder's best ones, "The Apartment." Funny, poignant with absolutely terrific acting, this little indie is a definite must-see.

Actors Adam Pally and Rosa Salazar, who carry the entire film, are not just game for this kind of material, they feel born to it. Their dynamic sparks all over the place.

Rated: 3/4

Meet the fun couple of the year, and watch them go at it tooth and nail.

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

Manages a simmering romantic-comic tension thanks to an emotionally wise screenplay and a couple of nicely pinging performers.

Moveable Fest

A satisfying entry into the one crazy night genre that never leaves the house, "Night Owls" is one worth staying up for.

Matt Shiverdecker

Austin American-Statesman

Night Owls isn't a typical romantic comedy in any capacity, and it succeeds because the lead actors have such an incredibly genuine chemistry.

Consequence

Moments do drag and there are some questionable wrinkles in either character's arc, but Night Owls is a gratifying subversion of the romantic comedy genre.
