They should've done a better job casting the lead actress. She couldn't act to save her life. She always had a dumb look on her face, too...and I'm sorry to say, but I was so distracted by her looks (dare I say lack of). Just not an interesting person to keep your attention. I kept watching because I really wanted to know who killed the dude. The girl must be related to somebody to have gotten cast in this movie. She needs to go back to acting class. I've seen worse lifetime movies, but I've also seen a lot better ones, too. The saving grace was the decent looking detective who had a main role as well.

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 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.

This movie looked good but I couldn't get through it. The lead actress, who plays Alyssa, is absolutely awful. Her acting isn't even good enough for community theater, let alone cable television. And not to be mean, but she is very unappealing. Casting her ruined what might have been a decent movie. Lifetime movies are a guilty pleasure but this one was a definite stinker. It is apparently based on true story. Maybe the real version is more interesting than the Lifetime version. Hopefully, when casting future movies, Lifetime will make an effort to hire better actors. As a side note, why does everyone in every Lifetime movie live in big beautiful homes, only drink wine and never lock their doors?

This movie was sooooooo dumb! The lead actor is a joke! How did she get a lead role? Her startled facial expression was a permanent feature no matter the scene and it was really annoying. The script was written by idiotss and made no sense. Then her lawyer slept in full makeup... so ridiculous. Seriously this movie is bad for a Lifetime movie and that says a lot.

I never want to see the lead actress act again yet apparently lifetime tripled down with her with three movies in 2023.... Two are still to be released! Good Lord!! She must know somebody because she can't act whatsoever. A three year could do a better performance.

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 really enjoyed the movie. It is definitely not the greatest acting but its what you would expect from a lifetime movie. I cant believe the other remarks on the lead actress' appearance. She is actually very beautiful. I appreciated seeing a biracial actress lead which is something you just don't see enough of. Her overthinking is comical and frustrating but it fuels the plot and keeps you intrigued. This is definitely not a movie I would pay to see in the theater, but it is a nice cozy comfortable at home mystery/thriller that keeps you intrigued with not too much violence and nice twist at the end.

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.

Agree with all of the others on their comments. Such a terrible movie, terrible acting, and terrible leading actress. Her facial expressions are completely laughable. Why would they cast someone in the lead role who is so unappealing and so very unattractive? And such horrible acting. The rest of the cast should have been embarrassed to be in the same movie with her. Totally unbelievable that the premise is that these men would be attracted to her. And not to be completely shallow, but her hair! Like a dirty old mop. Never let her act again! Please, for all of our sakes, and those of other actors.

Where do I start...the bad acting, terrible writing, boring boring boring..this movie sure has it all! Sat down to watch this on a rainy afternoon & I couldn't even finish it. I knew it was going to be bad in the 5 minutes, as soon as the lead actress...& I use that term very loosely...woke up & was trying to act shocked, scared & nervous. It was just painful to watch her "try" to act. Got halfway through & decided enough is enough. Nothing was believable & i'm going to avoid any other movie this girl is in. Terrible unattractive actress wanna-be. How on earth did this girl find work. That's the mystery we should all be trying to solve. Avoid this one.

It was billed as "the murder after the night before" on UK channel 5. It is an awful movie. Plot holes, bad acting and sets that are pristine show homes being used by production. I would have given it a 1/10 but it was laughable so gave it a 2/10.

The main character was ridiculous and the writers only gave her a handful of brain cells - I am surprised the character knew how to "investigate" anything. The police were also written as mindless fools - the detectives don't ask for cctv, witness statements or anything. But hey ho, it was a 2pm movie on channel 5 so shouldn't expect much! Probably good for keeping pets company while you're out.

The writing is soo bad. I just can't believe it was made into a movie. Watched on Hulu spontaneously. At first I thought it was bad acting. And maybe it is but hard to tell with that script. Please, whoever greenlit this crap, don't make anymore. I don't usually do Lifetime or Hallmark movies because I know the story is usually the same. Honestly did not realize this was a Lifetime.

Yeah ill admit it, this film was not as bad as others ive seen. Of course the acting is not great, espeically from our detective character who does neither feel or look like he would be one. Casey hodge on the other hand I felt was belivable and her acting has something that could be further explored. She plays alyssa. A woman that wakes up in a bed she dosnt recognise and does not at first relize the man she is in bed with is dead. Instead of telling the cops she goes to friend cindy for help for some reason which makes her more suspicious then she should. So alyssa tries to be her own detective and does a better job at it. I mean this film was not the worst really and credit where credit is due casey hodge was godo.
