One Night Stand Murder

This was a fairly enjoyable movie with some good dialog (if not the best writing overall) and reasonable performances by the cast (although the actor playing Officer Willis had some odd line readings). I'm not sure that the criticism the lead actress is getting is entirely fair: yes, she came across as a complete dimwit, but that was actually required for the plot to function at all. After all, if she just went to the police immediately after she found the body, and didn't spend most of the movie evading them, the movie would have been five minutes long. I mean, everybody was telling her to hand herself in, even the killer (not a spoiler, like I said *everybody* was telling her to hand herself in). Yes, there was physical evidence against her, and it was believable that she would be scared to go to the police; but it clearly was her best, if not only, option. But, like I said, the performance made her actions believable. Since, as far as I can remember, this is the only thing I've ever seen her in, I'm not sure if this was good acting, good casting, or just good luck, but it was what the movie needed.

I watched this movie the other day and thought it was just OK. I think the acting was just fine (about what you'd expect from a lifetime movie) but nothing to write home about. I didn't really understand some of the plot points (or plot holes), like the two women's motives (Cindy and the other character, I forget who). I think the movie was overall forgettable: not amazing, not horrible. Definitely could have used another round of editing the script. One Night Stand Murder can be skipped, or maybe watch it while you're cooking dinner, but I wouldn't cancel plans to stay in for a movie night to watch this.

This was painfully bad. The "plot" is extremely hard to follow and does not really make much sense whatsoever. This film is essentially following A woman who wake up in a bed next to a dead man and don't remember how she got there. The entire theater groaned when everyone thought the film ended and it continued on to another scene and some even left prior. I do find it hard to believe that this was enjoyed by people because it is one of the worst things I have ever watched. I wanted to leave the theater but I was with a group of people and we decided to stick it out. I would not ever recommend anyone watch this pointless nothing film. Very grueling to sit through because of how horrendously bad it was.

Did these actors get paid? If so how can I land a role, where all I have to do is practice my gasp 😮 and then switch back to an emotionally deadpan face. Oh and the mom jeans!

Acting was harmed in this movie from the first word spoken.

The plot makes very little sense, the actors are - I'm not sure there is really a word for it. I will watch a ridiculous Lifetime movie as a guilty pleasure every now and again, and there are some really awful ones out there. This one was not even fun to make fun of. Don't waste and hour and 25 min of your life on this one.

This may actually be the worst thing I have ever watched in my life.

I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but this movie turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The lead actress is captivating; not only is she beautiful on screen, but she brings a strong emotional presence that draws you in. The rest of the cast also delivers solid performances, and together they create believable tension throughout.

It's also nice to see more diversity represented in Lifetime movies. It adds depth and makes the story feel more grounded in today's world.

Some reviews have criticized the acting, but it's worth remembering that the characters are written to behave a certain way. Even if you wouldn't react the same in real life, the actors make the emotions and stakes feel real.

The movie has a nice pace and a twist at the end that caught me off guard. Definitely worth a watch. I'll be looking out for more from these actors and the production team.
