That NightA poor movie about a relationship of two teenagers forbidden by the girl's parents.
That Night is not a good movie. The main attraction to me was Eliza, whom I
had come to know through Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There is no striking
similarity between the younger and older Elizas, which was something of a
disappointment to me.
In this movie, Eliza plays Alice Bloom, a girl with little in way of
friends and lacking love from parents. Alice greatly admires a beautiful
older girl Sheryl O'Connor (Juliette Lewis) living across the street, and,
cutely for a young girl, becomes something of a stalker. The two befriend,
and Eliza starts tagging along with Sheryl and her boyfriend Rick. Sheryl's
parents disapprove of Rick, and make an attempt to prevent Sheryl from
seeing him anymore, ergo a recipe for the mild climax of the movie.
The events as well as the characters failed to spark my interest, and I
would have stopped watching altogether had not Eliza, who made her debut in
this movie, had a fairly large role.
