One Night

I don't know if it matters or it will play into some peoples rating, but if you know the actors from other projects, you may feel compelled and kind of smitten by them even before you watch the first frame. But I can understand people who feel there is not enough "new" in this to make it interesting for them. I mean how do you spin this but still make it relatable to watch? So the couples do have chemistry and I do think the actors are doing a good or at least decent enough job with their characters.

Still while it tries to be really philosophical, it is not really a top romantic movie. There are some neat twists and it might not be exactly what you expect all the way through, but you can still see most of it coming a long way ahead of it appearing.

The film was unknown to me, so I decided to watch it. The film was very good and the acting of the four leads was quality and believable. The ending carried a great twist. I enjoyed and recommend to all.

1 Night is a charming, intriguing, and relatable romantic drama. Set in Los Angeles, at the Figueroa Hotel, the film follows a married couple in their mid-30s, played by Anna Camp and Justin Chatwin, as they visit the site of their high school prom, in hopes of rekindling the flame that was the foundation of their once glorious marriage. During the visit, they frequently stumble across an optimistic, ambitious teenage couple, played by Isabelle Fuhrman and Kyle Allen, attending their own prom. The film is largely character driven. It intermittently transitions between the couples, demonstrating both the similarities and haunting differences between them. The juxtaposition of the two couples proves how quickly our feelings of love and romance can change with time. The film's narrative is incredibly realistic, and it suggests that Minhal Baig (writer and director) is drawing on her own evocative experiences. With a captivating plot-twist in the film's final moments, all in all, 1 Night is a thought- provoking romantic drama that audiences of all ages will surely enjoy.

One Night is a movie that pushes too much charm on the audience and lacks the substance needed to propel the characters where they need to go internally. Chatwin's Drew is two dimensional at best while Camp's Elizabeth takes herself way too seriously. The true chemistry in this movie lies with Kyle Allen and Isabelle Fuhrman, their scenes together are what really make this movie worth the watch - they're palpable and visceral. Sadly the only other charming thing about One Night besides Fuhrman and Allen is the plot twist ending which is very predictable midway through the film. This movie had the potential to be a great, intelligent indie film but in the end falls flat due to poor writing, bad directing, and lack of character development.

One night is worth one watch.

1Night is a great romantic drama for Valentine's Day that provides an accurate depiction of the typical progression of a relationship. The movie was set during one night at a hotel where a couple of prom goers (Kyle Allen and Isabelle Fuhrman) run into the mature couple played by Anna Camp (Elizabeth) and Justin Chatwin (Drew). The younger couple, dealing with typical high school issues, work to overcome social differences while the older couple works to save their relationship. As a young guy myself, I felt like I could relate to the young couple. This reminded me of how young love used to be when everyone was still trying to figure out what exactly that they wanted along with the plans of the fast-approaching future. Justin Chatwin and Anna Camp also do a great job collaborating as they try to battle the troubles of their once intimate relationship. I think this was a great representation of how no relationship will ever be perfect and you must conquer the many possible obstacles that will try and get in the way of your happiness. If you're looking for a great watch alone or with a significant other, I highly recommend this movie.
