Nice, this 55 year old liked it.

Fluffy, yes.

Light, yes.

But also intelligent, well written, well acted, and realistic.

No puerile toilet humour.

No clichés.

A very smart move which leads to a pleasant end to a pleasant movie, topical on the way people hook up today and deal with the traps, pitfalls and dangers in pursuing the elusive "no strings attached" night of "just sex" with no thought for past, present or future.

I liked it, no world beater but it kept me entertained and I felt pleased at the finish.

An honourable pass at 5/10 stars.

Megan (Analeigh Tipton) is a beautiful young woman troubled by her own singularity. She hates being single and fears she is seeing the best years of her love-life rush by her and can do nothing but passively watch them dissolve before her eyes. Catering to her desperation, she creates an account on a website dedicated to matching singles up with one another and connects with Alec (Miles Teller). The two meet and wind up having great sex together, with Megan presuming she can just leave as soon as she wakes up the next morning. This method of avoiding anything in the way of romantic feelings, however, is prevented given a huge blizzard is taking place outside, making travel of any kind next to impossible. Megan is forced to reside at Alec's until further notice, making for an ostensibly awkward but thoroughly revealing evening as the two talk about past relationships, critique each others sexual practices, and spend time nosily prying into the lives of one another.

The premise for Max Nichols' Two Night Stand is made slightly more original given the fact that the idea of millennial relationships is a fairly topical, sociological talking point at the moment. I just recently saw an article stating that numerous young people don't even know the status of their own relationships, as the modern world has populated so much of romanticism with casual hookups, "hangouts," and acts of "seeing" people with little or no commitment involved. The characters, the structure, and the ending of Two Night Stand, however, make the film something of another romantic comedy, but exploring a reasonably believable scenario about failing to have your cake and eat it too. They thought they were getting carefree sex without any kind of personal relations to follow...what they got was a window to themselves from a complete stranger.

Two Night Stand's commitment to perfunctory plot-points (including a pretty senseless ending) are saved by screenwriter Mark Hammer's reliance on conversation in the film, and, most importantly, the performances of Tipton and Teller, two young actors to watch in the coming years, with Teller being the more prominent one. Starting out finding his footing in amoral comedies like 21 & Over and Project X, Teller has grown into a seriously likable and human screen-presence, inhabiting the role of the cocky yet vulnerable young adult, determined, but somewhat directionless, and friendly, but also contemptible at times. His versatility is the glue holding Two Night Stand together when lengthy conversations between the two parties take place, resulting in pleasantly lyrical discussions about topics that are finally starting to find themselves more prominent in film.

Sex is not an uncommon thing to see in films anymore; the discussion of sex, romance, love, and marriage from the perspective of the people who most often engage in it - teenagers and young adults - are a bit harder to find. Two Night Stand finds itself released and promoted around the same time as #Stuck, another film about an extended hookup that results in the male driving the female home and both of them getting stuck in a record-breaking traffic jam. The evasion of feelings and any form of commitment is something that we can see in films with millennial characters, and when they finally are forced to tackle it is when we have an intriguing film on our hands.

As I said before, Two Night Stand is burdened by an ending all too conventional and a structure far too similar. However, the recommendation in this case is for you to see two talents, who will soon find themselves in roles with more potential and possible accolades to affirm that, tackle material, as of now, rarely committed to film. It's a treat to watch Tipton and Teller interact with one another, and an even greater one to know the best is yet to come for both of these young actors.

Starring: Miles Teller and Analeigh Tipton. Directed by: Max Nichols.

I must say this is the type of movie I often prefer at tired days, like when being hungover. It is the classic romantic comedy with intelligent humor and just the right amount of romance.

The story is simple with a really targeted ending and you can't get lost in it. Megan (Annaleigh Tipton) is the typical break-up suffering girl who wants to get her life back on track and therefore signs in on a dating site expecting a simple one night stand. She connects with Alec (Miles Teller) and the expected thing happens. However, it gets complicated when a snowstorm blocks her way out of the building/apartment next day, so she is stuck with her yesterday's not much liked lover.

I won't continue to sum up the rest because it is really a great pack of funny events, character teasing, good romance and a little educational value that should not be spoiled.

To explain the 7 stars: The acting is good and the same is the chemistry between characters/actors. The scenario and dialogs are really good, but the top is definitely the intelligent sense of humor. What I missed is a better directing job which is solid but not good enough to be recognized. Also there is the ending I haven't liked and the lack of some good music.

Summed up I recommend the movie, especially at lazy days or for hangover 'treating'. Could also work for a dating movie, try it.

Thhis movie, although obviously not the greatest of the year, knows what it is, and it fully at ease with it. As a fellow young-adult going through tribulations on the love front, I did feel a connection with the characters. Miles Teller confirms that he has potential, and the other actors do their jobs, without being amazing (s.a. Scott Mescudi, who is apparently attempting a reconversion from rap to acting. He isn't bad, but he isn't quite there yet, and he still surfs on his fame to get his roles IMO). OK directing. Some funny moments, and an (expected and expectable) heart-warming ending. I recommend watching this if you are in the same situation as the characters, ergo stuck with a chick/guy you like on a snowy day.

"You might not be the worst person in the world to be stuck with." Megan (Tipton) has lost her way. She graduated from college with a degree she doesn't want and spends her days at home doing nothing. When she tries on-line dating she meets Alec (Teller) and the two meet and share a night together. When she tries to leave in the morning she is surprised by a snowstorm that has forced them to spend more time together. What starts off has two people that hate each other soon grows into something else. This is just a good movie. The writing is witty and funny and the actors have great chemistry together. The movie is totally predictable and very cookie cutter but that in no way hurts the movie. The younger crowd may like this more than an older one but I am 36 and really enjoyed this and so did my wife. The dialog is funny and there is a lot of truth to what is said. There are some really funny parts in this and I laughed a lot all the way through. Overall, a very smartly written romantic comedy that I really enjoyed. I surprisingly give this an A-.

This was an interesting premise for what might have been a great funny romantic comedy...but the more I watch this movie, the more I can't stand the character of Megan.... She is the most irritating female romantic lead I have ever seen.... reminding me of every single passive-aggressive, direction-less and uninspiring gal I have ever known.... I mean if she was meant to be a bitchy sort of character, that aspect never came through correctly in the film.

She is not a strong person, or even focused... nothing in the exposition of her life tells me that she is a strong, modern woman.. and if that is what the movie is trying to go for, it falls super flat.

I find her character dull and plays a lot on the stereotypes of certain types of small-town girls....

Alec was okay. I think his humour and easy, lazy style saved his character and made things interesting to watch.

I think that the lead actors don't have a lot of screen chemistry. I mean, I can't feel the sizzle of on screen sex between them.

Some parts were pretty yawn inducing and I had to fast forward those bits...

As I said. it is a great premise.. could have been better with more interesting characters.... I mean I dun watch a movie to see everyday people... and these are some of the not so great examples of everyday people. The characters in particular need to be better thought out.

I have to say this, I watched this movie not knowing what to expect. I knew I was looking forward to it as I like Miles Teller as an actor, but other than that I did not know what to expect.

This movie was not only awesomely funny, but also had a good, if somewhat predictable storyline, however, the steady stream of humor allowed it to soar beyond its tried and tested storyline. I have never seen a movie where even the sex scenes made me laugh, this one did.

The movie did not only have great writing, but the performances of Miles Teller and Annaleigh Tipton were in my opinion highlights of the movie. I would recommend this to anyone who has seen Miles Tellers previous work, anyone that is looking for a romantic comedy that men can enjoy as much or even more than women, and anyone just looking to laugh.

How would you cope if you were trapped with your fleeting hookup, and found yourself deconstructing the encounter? Such is the engagingly modern premise of this movie. It works better than similar previous efforts such as "No Strings Attached" or "Friends with Benefits" because, a) it's funny, and b) the two characters don't know each other, so it doesn't feel contrived, and gives these people a decent excuse to be brutally honest with one another...

This framework suits Teller in particular - he was terrific in "Whiplash", but outside of drama he unfortunately projects a conceited kind of air that makes him a difficult presence to warm to. That's not a problem here, as his character in particular is given moments and lines that paint him in an unsympathetic light.

The film loses its way somewhat in the final 20 minutes, with the script searching for an unusual and plausible way of bringing the story to a conclusion (it succeeds at the former, but not so much with the latter!) For its first hour, though, this is a frank and funny look at how the different genders approach relationships.

Just seemed really predictable. Yes, it's a movie, but there's just so much unrealistic-ness with the plot. Very cliche love story. Probably the best part of the movie was Megan finally opening up to Alec about her college years. That's about it.

A classic misfire of the romcom genre - not funny and not romantic. It feels like a teen movie made by your out-of-touch grandad, with moments that are trying to hark back to classic John Hughes genius, but mis-remembered through an amnesiac haze. The casting is so wrong, with the classic Hollywood move of having 30-year-olds playing 20-year-olds. The script feels like it was written by a high school student trying to be clever. On paper, it seems like a complete, messy disaster, but it is actually just about watchable. Just.

Watched this on Amazon Prime. One night stand comedy romance movies are hardly original, but this was made with a decent amount of thought. The two leads worked very well together, which for this flick was essential. I really enjoyed the journey and was never sure of the destination! Well worth a viewing.

I really like these types of movies. Claustrophobic movies really speak to me. Here it's in the form of a one night stand extending into the next day because of a snowstorm. Really intriguing to see the way two strangers who are attracted to each other sexually at least, end up becoming lovers. And it's funny and twenties silly.

I basically explained the plot. Miles Teller does a good job, and the actress is good too. It's a really sweet movie, and one of those gems you're glad you came by one random day.

7 stars

6.2/10 (Recommend)

I won't lie I was expecting to go into this movie with extreme disappointment. Not only is it a one night stand, but it's a two night stand and despite that fact it holds its own. Miles Teller and Analeigh (Lio) Tipton have fantastic chemistry. They make all the awkwardness of a hookup melt away. This movie is more than two strangers having sex, but rather two people realizing what they want out of life. Despite the two of them being the driving force for the majority of the movie I was actually invested in their story and outcome. I can't really say where this movie would land amongst couples and single, but it definitely gives enough of a spark to check out once.

That's all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Until next time.... Enjoy the show!

Analeigh Tipton, Miles Tiller and a crackling script help elevate this 90 minuter. Analeigh Tipton is just delicious to look at and Miles Miller comes across as a thoroughly nice chap.

There's nothing original or new to see here and some of the plot turns are a bit contrived. But nonetheless it works.

The movie doesn't have the gravitas of Notting Hill, or the 'touchy feely' dreck of Music and Lyrics. It's a small town date movie for small town folk.

The peripheral characters supporting the two leads are almost invisible and are barely worth mentioning.... apart from Samuel Ray Gates who plays a cop. (Why isn't this guy more famous?)

It doesn't get deep or heavy, there's not too much gloom when things go wrong... it's a fluffy teen flick that this 55 year old male enjoyed.

If you get drained by the overly emotional garbage that usually accompanies American 'romcom' type movies, this one will surprise you in a good way.

While the film will never make any big waves, it at least runs the course of it's 85 minutes with a simple ease that the viewer can get caught up in if they are willing to let themselves go and just enjoy the cast and the situation they have been put into. Sure, none of it is original, none of it is mind-blowing; but then none of it needs to be either. The characters are perfectly acted, and whether you like the characters or not, they really stand out as two people in a situation trying to tough it out.

Thankfully the plot doesn't hang in the apartment for the entire film across the two days, and does well to break the beginning up with a shortish set-up flashback and then quickly moves along into a thoughtful display of two people just trying to get along but ending up on the wrong side of each other until they finally work it all out. Credit goes to the director and the editor for not dragging the ending out as well when they leave the apartment. What could have fallen into cheesy romance finishes with all the right feelings intact and not overdone, leaving a sense of realism while still clearly being a product of a movie.

It's good stuff, maybe aimed at a 20s to late 30s audience, but other than that, well acted, plausible though unlikely, and quite charming in both its humour and honesty.

Two Night Stand is a hollow picked apart and Hollywood-ified romantic comedy, stripped of all originality despite its unique situation.

Loosely based off the real life events of its screenwriter, Mark Hammer, Two Night Stand tells of two virtual strangers forced to extend their one night stand romp.

Megan (Analeigh Tipton) is a girl trying to get back on the horse, after she is left in the wind after a brief engagement. Pressured by her roommate, who is trying to get her out of the apartment for good, Megan resorts to online dating to have a casual encounter to ease back in dating. Lucky for her, Alec (Miles Teller), has an empty half of a bed in the land known as Brooklyn. Waking up after their casual tryst, Megan is unable to sneak out with just a note saying "Thanks" she finds the door blocked by four feet of snow. A snowstorm of the century forces Alex and Megan, two complete strangers with the exception of seeing each other naked, to prolong their meet-cute far past the one-night stand status.

I had heard of this film when it first came about in 2011 when Mark Hammer's script got an article written about it due to the real life circumstances that served as inspiration for his material. Intrigued, I anxiously awaited and imagined a fast paced film with witty introspective banter spoken by jaded progressive 20-somethings set in New York City. Two Night Stand fails splendidly in delivering the film for which I hoped.

Instead what you get with Two Night Stand is a picked apart carcass of a worthy idea. The characters are just shy of being archetypes, Megan the type-A neurotic and Alex the carefree funny guy. The film resorts to cheap and petty forcefully injected problems and disagreements to unnecessarily cause drama to drive the story rather than interesting characters and original conversation.

I wanted so much to like this film more than I did, but the characters and film itself is so predictable and hollow that it is completely impossible. Two Night Stand is weak and formulaic without any sort of originality or creation.

On a bit of a Miles T kick rn but wanted something kinda light. Gave this a shot and so glad I did! Thought the actress would get annoying right away bc the only thing I've seen her in is Crazy, Stupid, Love in such an irritating part, but she was really funny and I even got used to her bangs by the end (almost). Totally unpredictable twist 2/3 of the way through and I even rewound part of it to rewatch a few scenes. Great chemistry btwn the 2 and super funny writing. Miles was hilarious and I lol'ed through most of it so much I'm surprised I didn't wake up the kids. He's got perfect timing and genuinely seems funny in real life. Don't know if it was actually shot in ny but def some authentic footage from past snowstorms. Also Michael Showalter was amazing as the weather guy. I had the cc on and was able to read some dialogue that I probs would have missed others wise. Jessica from gossip girl and her bf were almost scene stealers esp at the end. Could have been such a stupid, throwaway rom-com set in New York but the details and delivery and casting saved it. Will def rewatch and recommend!

To me it was just boring, I didn't find anything really interesting, but I can think that I'm too old for watching two adolescents in love, my bad.

Just a chitchat from the beginning to the end.

When I had that age probably I was like them, but I don't remember, sometimes we don't like something forgetting that more or less we did something like that.

Of course, it's possible I was chatting in that way, using a similar language and why not I was boring like them, but this is love and probably I forgot what is the love... my bad again. Anyway I can't give it less than 6 stars, because the actors are good in their spontaneous way of talking and working together, definitely a good acting.

If you want to see something about love between two adolescents, this is your movie then. Enjoy!
