WHAT THE PRESS HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE NIGHT OF THE WHITE PANTS:
"It'll entertain the pants off you!" -- Daily Candy "Hard to resist" -- The Hollywood Reporter "[a] cool and sassy fish out of water story" -- The Dallas Morning News "a good little off-beat comedy made in Dallas starring Tom Wilkinson as a man smack dab in the middle of losing his family, losing his wife, and losing his mind... I like this movie." -- Gary Cogill, WFAA Dallas "...one hilarious night in the life of a father caught in the midst of a messy divorce" -- Michael Granberry, Dallas Morning News "Wilkinson carries off his part with a splendid swagger." -- Screen International “WHITE PANTS... looks for the sublime in the pedestrian, which is about as good a working definition of “punk” as you can get. Tom Wilkinson is ... just an old man in his underwear, and he's about as loveable as your three favorite chords.” -- Brandon K. Thorp, New Times “... A fine comedic turn by Tom Wilkinson as a good ol' boy millionaire... [Selma] Blair succeeds in bringing a certain harried sweetness to her character's workaholic perfectionism, while Frances Fisher... glows with wry understanding.” -- Variety "Writer/Director Amy Talkington weaves every wacky element of the film together flawlessly to maximize the humorous moments and the tender conversations. " -- Cole Abaius, Film School Rejects.com "A hipster variation on the screwball comedy." -- Dallas Morning News “The Night of the White Pants combines the taudry glitz of Dynasty with the zany humor of Arrested Development to create a hilarious and oddly touching homage to dysfunctional families.” --Tribeca Film Festival Catalog “Dallas the tv show...gets a 21st century make-over from debutant director Amy Talkington. Tom Wilkinson plays Max, the patriarch of a wildly dysfunctional family. The cast, which ... includes the beguilingly tough Laura Jordan as a punkette who captures Max's fancy, and a warm, ironic Francis Fisher as one of his ex-wives, is first rate… Talkington's commitment to Dallas's music pays off in a score that juices the film throughout.” -- Amy Taubin for The High Falls Film Festival
