The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Patience Watson
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Freeman
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Two Night Stand (2014)
Director: Max Nichols
Watched: 7/25/18
Rating: 6/10 Adorable Miles Teller and former model Analeigh Tipton trapped together by snowstorm following a one-night stand have a captivating chemistry,
Passive-aggressive honesty and highly personal sex critiques aggravating- but educational + entertaining,
Cliched and predictable/unlikely scenarios and unrealistic outcomes,
But sometimes suspension of disbelief is a small price to pay for smart writing/well-developed characters/witty humor-
Not to mention the relatable spot-on portrayal of the equally audacious and hilarious world of online dating!

Gogyohka literally translates to "five-line poem." An alternative to the tanka form, the gogyohka has very simple rules. Five lines with one phrase per line. What comprises a phrase? Eye of the beholder- or the poet, in this case!

Megan has got to be one of the most self absorbed, immature and boring characters ever put on film. Why is Alec, a drag himself, even dealing with this behavior? Yes, of course, they are snowed in.. and sex. What else is there besides those two boring characters, performed by two dull actors? Not much..

Megan (Analeigh Tipton) is adrift in Manhattan. She lost her job, lost her fiancé and has been bunking with a kind friend and her boyfriend. On a night the threesome go out to celebrate Christmastime, Megan can't find her I.D. and a bouncer won't let her into a drinking establishment. It hurts. Leaving her friends to enjoy their evening, Megs goes home and finds a "one-night stand" hookup site. Lo and behold, a nice looking man, Alec (Miles Teller) is also searching for a fling. Therefore, Megan goes to Alec's apartment, they are a bit tipsy and they spend a nice evening together. When dawn breaks, however, there is bad news. A BLIZZARD has fallen in and the front door won't even open. In addition, M and A soon take a dislike to each other that wasn't a problem the night before. They are stuck in close quarters for hours and hours. Yet, after a morning of cold shoulders, they start conversing again and break into an empty nearby apartment for a needed household appliance. By day's end, they may be attracted to one another again. Unhappily, there are more secrets to uncover and when the snowplows do their thing, Megan leaves at once. Without even knowing Megan's last name, will the smitten Alec be able to find her in a city of 8 million folks? This charming romcom rests on the likable performances and attractive qualities of Tipton and Teller. They are the film's main stars and are in one setting, alone, for quite some time. Kudos to them for their turns. Then, too, the script is very witty and honest; beware, though, that there are many sexual discussions. The supporting acting cast, costumes, and direction are nicely worthy. Don't wait one, two, or three nights to find Two Night Stand. You will be happy you viewed TNS this coming evening.

I loved it. They touched on something that hasn't been done before. What would happen if you got stuck in a one night stand. Thanks to a New York blizzard they do. I actually laughed out loud at the awkwardness of the whole thing. Everything that could go wrong did, so they made lemonade out of it all and a really funny movie happened. Two run-of-the-mill under achievers really made for a perfect cast of misfits. Everyone around them is telling them to get it together but how do you do that when you have no idea how. Best bet is to find another in the same boat and hang on like hell. This movie was a fun ride on a coaster we have seen a million times. Not your typical rom-com but something new, fresh and just plain funny.
