One Night Only: Movie Review




A bold rom-com with minimal romance and comedy.
One Night Only as stated in the famous line in the trailer is set during “the one night of the year single people are legally allowed to have sex.” Which really just begs so many questions. How? How is it enforced? Why is this a law? How did it arise? Is it a federal law or state law? Going into this I had very little faith that these questions would be answered or at least answered satisfactorily.   2026

Directed by: Will Gluck

Screenplay by: Travis Braun

Starring: Monica Barbaro, Callum Turner

The Invite: Movie Review




Bitingly hilarious and then emotional and sad.
In a large apartment in San Francisco, Angela (Olivia Wilde) is busy getting their place ready for a dinner party with their upstairs neighbours. Joe (Seth Rogen) comes home from work and just wants to lie on the floor; he has a sore back, the new bike his wife got him is impractical and small, and he forgot to pick up wine for tonight’s dinner party. Angela insists she told him about it yesterday, he doesn’t believe her.   2026

Directed by: Olivia Wilde

Screenplay by: Will McCormack, Rashida Jones
