Synopsis

In Search of a Midnight Kiss is a rollicking comic ride and tender journey though love, sex, and modern romance in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve.

Wilson (Scoot McNairy), a twenty-nine-year old guy who has just had the worst year of his life, is new to Los Angeles, has no date, no concrete plans and every intention of locking the doors and forgetting the last year ever happened. That is until his best friend, Jacob (Brian McGuire), browbeats him into posting a personal ad on Craig’s List. When Vivian (Sara Simmonds), a strong-willed woman hell bent on being with the right guy at the stroke of midnight responds, a chaotic, sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching journey through the black and white streets of L.A. begins. In the waning hours of the year, emotional vulnerability and bitterly honest humor seem to be waiting around every corner.

“Misanthrope seeks misanthrope.” A very well shot and brutally honest look at a lovesick guy in L.A who posts an ad on craigslist in search of a date on new years.

Cute, and the black and white makes it even cuter.

Nice movie, just the song at the end is a real downer.

The film's score is quite good! It's absolutely lovely, and in a real kind of way. Don't think it would be as nice if it wasn't black and white though.

    Also, should she really be annoying in the beginning? Grew to like her a bit in the end anyway. But Wilson? I'll date him. He's adorable!
