Review by Theo Kallström

Two Night Stand 2014

The Good:

  • The film makes a good attempt at being different and inventive within its bloated genre and it drops some half-good jokes along the way.

The Bad:

  • There simply isn't any chemistry between the awkward Analeigh Tipton and the lifeless Miles Teller. Most of the jokes could have worked a whole lot better if the actors, Tipton in particular, had any comical timing at all. Now all Tipton does is try too hard and it just turns out awkward.
  • Despite being running for only 80 minutes, the film feels painfully long. It's almost devoid of any actual content and very little of note ever happens.
  • The dialogue is uninspiring, boring and too mundane to feel even remotely interesting.
  • There is an annoying score in the background, which, thankfully, is sparingly used.
  • The lack of any sexual tension or pure romancing between the leads is worrying.
  • Since the story or the characters barely develop over the course of the film, I lost interest very quickly. By the time the big twist comes around I simply didn't care any linger.
  • This movie features what I believe to be the unsexiest sex scenes I have ever seen in a movie.
  • The big problem is that the movies is dull and generic and does nothing new within its genre.

Verdict:

Awkward actors and an empty script cannot save a romantic movie about sex that is devoid of both romance and sexual tension.
