First Night (2010)

30

Based on 6 critic reviews provided by

40	Variety Many of the actors give performances in line with their low profile here.
40	The Guardian Grant plays it with manic glee and full-throated gusto.
40	Time Out London The standard of acting is poor beyond belief. What happened to Grant's career that he should be in the likes of this?
40	Total Film Emma Dibdin It's to director Chris Menaul's credit that his lack of big-screen experience isn't evident, but the same can't be said for his cast who are, by and large, too stiff to charm.
30	Village Voice Pete Vonder Haar The depressingly predictable script-and tendency of everyone involved to jump to ridiculous conclusions-suggests a combination of Noises Off at best, and at worst, Three's Company.
25	Slant Magazine Drew Hunt The political dynamic that underpins The Rules of the Game is nonexistent in 1st Night, which is fixated entirely on the zany sexcapades of its characters.
