In writer-director Patrick Brice's The Overnight, a chance meeting in the park leads to a mini-orgy between two happily married couples trying to take stock of where they’re at with their spouses. Much of the romantic tension stems from always being clear about our host’s (Jason Schwartzman) penis size, if not his intentions. There are moments of pronounced discomfort, but never once at the expense of the characters. Nor will you feel in need of a hot shower once it’s over. This most amenable romantic comedy – one of the sweetest, most open films ever made on the subject of swinging couples – packs a well of tenderness generally absent in most Hollywood productions. One monstrous drawback: it's produced by the architects of mumblecore, the Duplass Bros., and one frequently feels like a horse watching a film shot in the miracle of Dangling Carrot-Orama. Don’t be ashamed of your curiosity. See this movie. Directed by Patrick Brice. Taylor Schilling, Adam Scott, and R.J. Hermes round out the fine foursome. (2015) — Scott Marks
