![]() The film resorts to cheap and petty forcefully injected problems and disagreements to unnecessarily cause drama to drive the story rather than interesting characters and original conversation. The characters are just shy of being archetypes, Megan the type-A neurotic and Alex the carefree funny guy. Instead what you get with Two Night Stand is a picked apart carcass of a worthy idea. Two Night Stand fails splendidly in delivering the film for which I hoped. Intrigued, I anxiously awaited and imagined a fast paced film with witty introspective banter spoken by jaded progressive 20-somethings set in New York City. I had heard of this film when it first came about in 2011 when Mark Hammer's script got an article written about it due to the real life circumstances that served as inspiration for his material. A snowstorm of the century forces Alex and Megan, two complete strangers with the exception of seeing each other naked, to prolong their meet-cute far past the one-night stand status. Waking up after their casual tryst, Megan is unable to sneak out with just a note saying "Thanks" she finds the door blocked by four feet of snow. Lucky for her, Alec (Miles Teller), has an empty half of a bed in the land known as Brooklyn. ![]() Pressured by her roommate, who is trying to get her out of the apartment for good, Megan resorts to online dating to have a casual encounter to ease back in dating. Megan (Analeigh Tipton) is a girl trying to get back on the horse, after she is left in the wind after a brief engagement. Loosely based off the real life events of its screenwriter, Mark Hammer, Two Night Stand tells of two virtual strangers forced to extend their one night stand romp. Two Night Stand is a hollow picked apart and Hollywood-ified romantic comedy, stripped of all originality despite its unique situation. ![]()
