A Movie A Day Keeps The Zombies Away

In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2007)

Broke and alone on New Year’s Eve, Wilson just wants to spend the rest of a very bad year in bed. But, when his best friend convinces him to post a personal ad, he meets a woman bent on finding the right guy to be with at midnight.

An indie film all about love! Great job by writer/director Alex Holdridge.

A date movie that everyone can easily relate to. The loneliness of celebrating New Years alone. Shot in black and white (romantic atmosphere), we follow a couple who “agree” to be in each others arms.

Sara Simmonds was crazy cute! We always remember those - don’t we gentlemen? And leading man Scoot McNairy carried the film quite well. Not the ideal pretty boy, but an honest man “in search of”. Hopes and dreams are displayed on screen with real emotion and honest storytelling.

We are all looking for that “true love” in our lives.

I was not at all disappointed with this modern “Love story”. Highs and lows come and go, we all survive the trials of relationships. And it is true that love can be found, with a bit of effort and understanding.

Love’s a bitch, but she can be surprise you once in a while. Much like this little indie film.

A beautiful film for hopeless romantics!
