Two Night Stand

Plot synopsis:
Megan is unemployed and single, and one day she joins a dating website. Her roommates, who just want her to move out, invite her to a party at a club. After a bouncer refuses to let her into the club on the grounds that she looks too young and she is without ID, she sees her ex-fiancé, Chris, and later decides to have a one-night stand with one of the men she saw on the website, Alec.
The next morning, they are less than cordial to each other, but Megan can't leave because of a blizzard. Forced to spend more time together, the two end up telling each other what they did wrong the previous night, convinced that they will never see each other again, and Megan suggests that they "try again". The two make love again, with far better results.
Afterwards, Megan discovers a closet full of women's clothes, and pictures of Alec with a girl. She finds out that Alec's girlfriend, Daisy, had written a note to him, saying that she wanted to break up, but hadn't given it to him, but he had found it accidentally. Alec wanted to have something to rub in her face when she broke up with him, and so he had joined the dating website. Angry, Megan leaves.
When Daisy returns, she finds a note that Megan had scribbled, and she and Alec exchange the notes that they had found, and they break up. At a New Year's Eve party, Megan is arrested because the same note was found in Alec's neighbor's apartment, which the two had broken into earlier. Alec arrives to the prison with flowers and balloons. He pays bail, but Megan refuses to see him or even leave the holding cell.
Later, when her roommates come to pay bail, Alec apologizes, saying that he didn't know her last name and that this was the only way he thought he could see her again. He says that it might be something that the two of them would laugh about years later, but Megan is still angry because she had to spend time in jail. She makes him a deal, asking for his number and promising to call him the moment she laughed about it. She takes a closer look at the presents he gave her. Minutes later, she starts laughing upon seeing the balloon read "I'm sorry, I'm an asshole" and calls Alec. He meets her outside the police station and they kiss in the middle of the road, when it starts snowing again.

Review:
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The more I watch this movie, the more I cannot stand the character of Megan.
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....
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.
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.
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..
After a night with Alec (Miles Teller), Megan has a fight with him but she finds herself blocked in by snow in his place.
I believe with Two Night Stand, Analeigh Tipton has come into her own as an actress -- I found her highly believable, enchanting to watch, and adorable (which is, of course, exactly what the character calls for).It helps, of course, that she's paired here with Miles Teller, who's really coming on strong (Whiplash!).
I believe Ms. Tipton (and Mr. Teller) deserves a lot of credit for keeping things light, and Ms. Tipton did a masterful job of reading, and translating her character, adding just the right touches of flippancy and youthful awkwardness to achieve the goal of every rom-com: Make us want the protagonists to have their inevitable happy ending..
The acting is so obviously scripted that you have a hard time believing that the actors actually believe any of the words coming out of their mouths and the whole situation is so unrealistic that even the benefit of the doubt that you would normally give to ridiculous rom-com movies like this one just go out the window.
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.
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.
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..
i read some pretty bad reviews from others.OK the movie had no originality.but you knew that ,when you read in the review "two strangers stuck in a place".the actors i thought were playing simple but OK,and young people,or actors ,can sometimes escape bad criticism because hey it is just a little movie,a little romance,and if you think the actors are cute and kind of likable it passes the time.that's what i think about the movie.and i wanted to watch it till the end although yes i knew what was going to happen.my belief is that there is a category of movies that you simply should not judge too harsh.actually the whole thing depends not entirely on the script but in the chemistry of the actors.and i thought these guys were pretty much OK hanging around together.having said that,it was not a great love story or anything as such.but i do not think they intended it to be.i give it a six and a half rating..
Rating: 6/10 Adorable Miles Teller and former model Analeigh Tipton trapped together by snowstorm following a one-night stand have a captivating chemistry, 
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.
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'.
Two Night Stand was almost there but loses the battle thanks to over-the-top performance and weak screenplay.Two strangers get stuck in a snowstorm forcing them to spend a night together.As a first time director, Max Nichols does show some promise as I like the concept but screenplay is lukewarm which makes the things uninteresting.
I just love this film, it's the perfect romantic comedy to watch when you're in love/single/feeling lonely/your status on facebook is "it's complicated" so pretty much any time.
Also, the actors in this film are great and (I don't know what her real name is) the girl that plays Vanessa in Gossip Girl (add this to your watch-list too, wow GOOD STUFF EVERYWHERE) is real cool, though she didn't get the chance to show off her acting skills..
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.
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..
It did succeed in making me feel awkward and uncomfortable just watching though, putting myself in their situation.Ultimately, 'Two Night Stand' feels like the type of film your Tinder match would force you to watch on a sketchy "Netflix and Chill" date..
3 stars were given just for Miles Teller, his character is the only one I can stand this entire movie..
and not in a good way.This is the kind of movie that makes you wish you could go back in time and prevent the writers from ever being born...
and not in a good way.If you're into cringy writing and acting that tries way to hard at making statements just to make a statement, then you'll love this movie..
The two characters end up discussing rather personal things, including sex and appropriate techniques, but unlike some movies which make it very crass for shock value, this one instead approaches it in a more naive manner, frank but still in good taste.
Now, I don't have to write long because anyone with working brains could see this movie is scripted like for 12 year old and below & its all about sex.
Poor Acting Poorly Scripted Baseless Story line with lots of holes to fill you need to be high to endure the stupidity in this film and when I say high I mean eyes and ears high like the ones who rated this movie and made it reach "6.4" Movie never made sense at any point but who knows may be some people find their fantasies in this movie.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes romantic comedies because this is definitely one of the good ones!.
Two Night Stand(2014) Starring: Miles Teller, Analeigh Tipton, Jessica Szohr, Leven Rambin, Scott Mescudi, Kellyn Lindsay, Michael Showalter, Berto Colon, Brian Petsos, Josh Salatin, Chris Conroy, Victor Cruz, David Weiss, and Mike Lubik Directed By: Max Nicholas Review BEFORE LOVE.
it would not seem interesting to any person who enjoys the genre of romance because it doesn't feel like a romance, I mean its not like a Nic Sparks movie where their fighting to be with each other, no it's just them talking and having sex and I don't care for the characters at all.
Actually, the movie was better than I expected, because most romantic comedies have a horribly stupid plot, unrealistic dialogue and flat main characters.
Both of them are, of course, adorable: Alec (Miles Teller) is funny and has great jokes and Megan (Analeigh Tipton) is a cutely aggressive, open and attractive gal.
Put them together and the result is a situation in which adorable fights and romance interchange.Miles Teller (Whiplash) played this spontaneous and funny guy Alec and did a good job for a not very demanding role.
I don't know why every romantic comedy has to have the same female character - attractive, talkative, fun, daring, smart, hurt, totally emancipated and in love with life.
Since Two Night Stand is a low budget movie with generic plot and shallow story accompanied with superficial characters, the only way it could be any good, for a romantic comedy, is if there is some chemistry among actors.
However, with Miles Teller having quite a year since The Spectacular Now, and co- star Analeigh Tipton not doing so bad herself by booking her own TV show, Manhattan Love Story, it does make you wonder: why isn't Two Night Stand a straight up theatrical release?
And while roommate Faiza (Jessica Szohr) wants to be understanding, thing is she would really like Megan to move on and out so she can move in her boyfriend Cedric (Scott Mescudi).So, in order to begin the process of moving on, Megan decides to pursue a one night stand through finding someone to hook up with online.
Mostly because it forces the film to develop her character, and makes it seem like she didn't just come into being just because the male lead was lonely.
Though what I really liked about this film is that Tipton and Teller made for an honestly cute couple.
For with Teller being diverse enough to go from comical butt wipe to someone lovable, he makes a good match for Tipton's girl next door appeal.As for the story, there isn't anything really groundbreaking here, however when they are still getting to know each other, and sort of hate each other, there are multiple comedic moments.
Be it them sharing constructive criticism when it comes to each other's sex techniques, her approaching trying to hook up with someone, and then Teller and Tipton after they officially decide on having a two night stand, there are around 15 jokes.
Even if the other person may have done you so well they put you to sleep.Overall: TV ViewingI like the film, but outside of two or three jokes, and the chemistry between Teller and Tipton, there isn't much here.
The story is interesting since it deals with the idea of sticking around after having a one night stand, but the movie as a whole feels like two or three TV episodes, minus commercials, put together than an actual movie.
Making it seem the film was more worried about sticking to the romantic comedy formula than maintaining this sense of realness by showing realistic and funny conversations between two characters who seem like they could be actual people..
The only movie I remember seeing Analeigh Tipton in was Crazy, Stupid, Love and Miles Teller I remember from Footloose and Project X.
The idea was fresh and the chemistry between the leads Analeigh Tipton and Miles Teller, whose becoming an old pro in his 20s, was terrific.I find it mind numbing that this cute little rom/com wasn't promoted and given a larger screening.
There are so many bad major films that don't come near the humor and honesty portrayed in Two Night Stand.Tipton is particular gives a fun performance and as attractive as she looks.
While not as good as "the spectacular now"(granted totally different type of movie/8/10), and certainly no "Whiplash"(again/10/10), but it is most certainly better than your usual rom-coms, it has some really bright moments, and the film finishes rather strong.
The major bad thing about this is that the movie feels overly romantic that the comedies don't feel funny.
Actually the romance parts feel more dominant that it kind of make the comedy part feels like it's just some kind of color variation to the story.Analeigh Tipton doesn't quite get her role to be funny.
Miles Teller is quite good here, although I think his That Awkwar Moment (2014) performance is way better than this one.
I had a look at this because I am fond of Analeigh Tipton and Miles Tiller from a lot of their previous work, and it looked like a cute romantic comedy.
The running time is just shy of an hour and a half, and (spoiler) the ending is typical ROM-COM, but it's a pretty good cinematic example of the expression, "time flies when you're having fun." Definitely worth a buck and a half of your money and 86 minutes of your time if you like cute young characters saying smart, funny things.
and I'm so sad that I've 1 star for movie....I downloaded the movie with a great hope because i have watched whiplash of same actor miles teller and crazy stupid love of actress...
