Will Gluck, director of the rom-com "One Night Only," insists that romantic comedies have never truly died out, despite recent perceptions. His previous successes include "Easy A" and "Friends With Benefits," both of which were box office hits. "One Night Only" takes place in a society where pre-marital sex is banned, but for one night a year, residents are allowed to engage in such activities.
The film stars Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner as Allie and Owen, who must navigate their feelings for each other in this unique scenario. Gluck emphasizes that theatrical experiences can be about more than just special effects, focusing instead on creating a shared experience between people. He believes that "One Night Only" successfully achieves this, providing a fun and engaging rom-com that doesn't dwell on the bizarre premise.
