The context being conversations with random people, the movie could have gone in just about any and many directions at the same time, making it a headache. Yet, the unique part of the plot was that it wasn't anywhere close to the stereotype movies with weed, bong and other such.
The movie starts with an intriguing animation, albeit a bit off center to the topic. It's set in a jungle wherein animals on call-of-duty are seen chilling. This does set the mood for the movie rather well. Moving on, we come into the smoking lounge, on one particular couch, where the whole of the movie is shot and we see the stories and thoughts of people who sit on it.
At any point, there were at the most two people on the couch, which made it easy for us viewers to make connections instead of a whole group of junkies just sitting around. Each pair came in with a story to share or contemplating a life mystery that only made sense on that couch.
The movie was divided into vignettes depicting phases of that night like 'Illusion or Reality', 'Along Together', 'Hi' and more. The one that leaves its mark is not even a real word. Not yet anyway. It's 'Epiphanation', which is the process of having an epiphany. I thought it was ingenious!
My favorite moments of the movie were when Mike (Michael Laguerre) was on screen. He seemed adequately out-of-focus for his role in all his vignettes . Coupled with Jolene (Alexandra Hellquist), who plays a double role by the end of the movie, Mike leaves an impression. Dipti Mehta does drag her part a bit on the couch but her pair, Rachel Myers, brings back the humor with her naivety. John Crann, Adit Dileep, Maggie Alexander, and Shaheed Woods justified their respective roles, being absolutely normal people who were high at that point, conversing with an ease with people who are weird in every form known to them. Michele Suttile who along with Shaheed Woods breaks the monotony, of what soon begins to seem normal on the couch, with her quite in-the-blue thoughts (got to watch it to know what I mean!).

Watched Midnight Delight the other night with the wife. Neither of us are smokers, so we didn't know what to expect. About a third of the way through, she turned to me and said, "WTF is this?". I looked right at her and said, "I have no f'in idea", then proceeded to bust up laughing, because that's when I realized we were both thinking the same thing -- We need to be stoned to watch this movie -- If you've ever had pot-head friends (which we have), you'd get that :) If you're an actual stoner, this might be the closest thing you can get to virtual reality without a head-set. Light one up, and you're in the movie :)_~
