![]() ![]() 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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). 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. Megan (Analeigh Tipton) is a beautiful young woman troubled by her own singularity. Overall, a very smartly written romantic comedy that I really enjoyed. There are some really funny parts in this and I laughed a lot all the way through. The dialog is funny and there is a lot of truth to what is said. 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 movie is totally predictable and very cookie cutter but that in no way hurts the movie. The writing is witty and funny and the actors have great chemistry together. What starts off has two people that hate each other soon grows into something else. ![]() When she tries to leave in the morning she is surprised by a snowstorm that has forced them to spend more time together. When she tries on-line dating she meets Alec (Teller) and the two meet and share a night together. She graduated from college with a degree she doesn't want and spends her days at home doing nothing. "You might not be the worst person in the world to be stuck with." Megan (Tipton) has lost her way. ![]()
