Two Night Stand (a movie review)

This is a fun movie to watch. Clever lines and a nice take on one night hook-ups. As the movie title indicates, what starts as a one night stand becomes more because the two get trapped together in the man’s apartment the morning after due to blizzard conditions.

Set in Brooklyn, NY, the man’s apartment is the main setting, where the couple gets to know each other, warily, at first. The main actors, Miles Teller and Analeigh Tipton, have a good chemistry between them and are believable within their characters because they look average and have concerns that are relatable. Each is experiencing hurt from their respective long-term relationships that they later realize are with the wrong people.

The movie doesn’t get maudlin and it’s just the right amount of patness when they see they have more in common with each other than they thought. An uplifting movie for anyone who just got out of a relationship.
