A Melhor Noite de Nossas Vidas

After watching 30 minutes of "It Only Takes a Night" I knew already that I am probably going to hate it, because I was bored, fed up and actually a bit furious (but actually ended up finishing the film, because I wanted to see where it was going). What angered me the most was the awful script and cringey delivering of the lines by the actors - combination of these two elements was really the downfall of this picture. Although marketed as a comedy I don't think I have laughed once during this film - the jokes are stupid, childish and extremely awkward. I must also mention the whole plot was about nothing and the ending was just completely ridiculous. Even though the runtime is only 93 minutes, watching it felt like eternity. I definitely don't recommend this film.

This is a terrible film.

Where to start? The awful fake British accents, the dreadful script and awful "comedy".

It's really horrific.

The lead is especially bad, but everyone is really bad.

It's not at all funny.

Why not just set it where it's filmed, in Australia instead of pretending very poorly to be English?

The cast are just shockingly bad!

The script is just as bad.

It just adds anything it thinks is English but it just does it badly.

You won't laugh at all.

Think one of the fake high rated reviews is the studio. Go read and see for yourself.

I have never seen such a bad "comedy" and I've seen tens of thousands of films!

I had to write a review to save you from this.

For me, this film has everything - quirky humour, laugh-out-loud moments, truly unexpected events and a group of people it's very easy to feel part of.

It's rare to find something these days in the romcom genre which doesn't follow a set pattern, but this truly doesn't; and it kept me guessing - and entertained - right up to the end. This is unusual as my attention span is pretty short!

The best thing about it? It feels real. Nothing is 'held back' for the sake of how it looks, yet all the boxes one has to tick today are there naturally. The worst thing about it? It had to end and there isn't a sequel!

I was privileged to catch this indie rom-com at a premiere screening. I have to say it was very entertaining.

Shot on a low budget, the production makes great use of local surrounds as Perth, Western Australia stands in for a London setting. The crew have poured their blood and sweat into this production, which is very evident in the finished product.

The screenplay is engaging and often funny. There's a good balance between drama and humour. The cast is excellent and work very well together in this tightly paced 90 minute feature.

I'm keen to see what else this production house (A Touch of Madness Studios) brings to audiences next.
