If Night Court was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Laughed twice during Night Court. Once was a sneeze.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Night Court?
Just got out of Night Court and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Night Court is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Night Court. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Night Court?
Director clearly thought Night Court was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
