One Night Only’s Preposterous Premise Gives Way to a Delightful Romantic Comedy
Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner play singles searching for a match during the one night a year when premarital sex is allowed.
One Night Only, a delightful romantic comedy, explores a dystopian premise where unmarried individuals are only allowed to engage in sexual activity on one designated night per year. The film, set in New York City, follows Owen, a pizza restaurant owner played by Callum Turner, and Allie, a singer portrayed by Monica Barbaro, as they navigate the chaos of this one-night-only event.
The plot revolves around the characters' attempts to find love or companionship during this restricted period, with various obstacles and humorous encounters along the way. The story cleverly highlights the absurdity of the situation and the characters' struggles to secure contraception amidst the rules imposed by a fascist government.
With its engaging script, strong performances, and a focus on the vibrant atmosphere of New York City, One Night Only offers a charming and entertaining take on the romantic comedy genre.
