With a culture so accustomed with random hookups comes many strained goodbyes and random awkward run-ins. The classic one-night stand scenario creates a sense of discomfort between two people for obvious reasons. But imagine there was no escaping after you woke up and realized your situation. What if you had to coexist for an entire 24 hours? Max Nichols directs the lovely Analiegh Tipton and charismatic Miles Teller as two people living this social nightmare in his new film “Two Night Stand.”

The film begins with Megan (Tipton) attempting to recover from her past love while struggling to apply for a job thanks to a fancy degree she deems worthless. Her best friends, Faiza (Jessica Szohr) and Cedric (Kid Cudi), suggest she hook up with a stranger from an online dating site to remedy her reluctance to move on. After deciding to take this risk, Megan meets Alec (Teller) online and agrees to join him in his apartment for the evening. Just when Megan thinks she can escape the next morning relatively unscathed, a tremendous snowstorm prohibits her from even leaving the building. This unfortunate occurrence places her right back in Alec’s apartment for quite some time.

Due to Megan’s attempted speedy exit, the relationship between the two strangers is not exactly amicable in the beginning. Over the course of their time in Alec’s apartment, they overcome their skepticism towards each other and eventually help one another in unorthodox ways. By the time the snowstorm clears, the relationship between the two is clouded and complicated. In the end, Megan and Alec decide if the connection between them has the potential to carry them beyond a two-night stand.

Thanks to endearing performances by Teller and Tipton, “Two Night Stand” maintained a certain freshness that saved the film from falling into the completely sleazy category. The writing was witty and interesting enough to carry a movie with few changes in scenery and characters. By utilizing the talents of lovable actors, most of their crazy shenanigans in the film seemed hilarious as opposed to unrealistic. However, the key word there is MOST were not a stretch.

This premise presented a wonderful opportunity to delve into the reality behind a random hookup and show the awkward aftermath. However, the ending predictably assuaged the appetites of sappy romantic comedy lovers and particular scenes seemed out of place abusing the fake Hollywood version of the truth. Also, the cinematography execution, specifically the camera movements and focus techniques, struggled to reach an impressive caliber. Therefore, the potential in the concept behind the film was partly lost due to its lack of believability and execution.

Though “Two Night Stand” blundered in certain areas, the characters had the whole theater laughing out of both joy and discomfort considering the content was definitely aimed at an older crowd. If you are wishing to watch other people else deal with the uncomfortable aftermath of their decisions in an amusing way, then “Two Night Stand” is the movie for you.
