Apenas Duas Noites

Nice, this 55 year old liked it.

Fluffy, yes.

Light, yes.

But also intelligent, well written, well acted, and realistic.

No puerile toilet humour.

No clichés.

A very smart move which leads to a pleasant end to a pleasant movie, topical on the way people hook up today and deal with the traps, pitfalls and dangers in pursuing the elusive "no strings attached" night of "just sex" with no thought for past, present or future.

I liked it, no world beater but it kept me entertained and I felt pleased at the finish.

An honourable pass at 5/10 stars.

Analeigh Tipton, Miles Tiller and a crackling script help elevate this 90 minuter. Analeigh Tipton is just delicious to look at and Miles Miller comes across as a thoroughly nice chap.

There's nothing original or new to see here and some of the plot turns are a bit contrived. But nonetheless it works.

The movie doesn't have the gravitas of Notting Hill, or the 'touchy feely' dreck of Music and Lyrics. It's a small town date movie for small town folk.

The peripheral characters supporting the two leads are almost invisible and are barely worth mentioning.... apart from Samuel Ray Gates who plays a cop. (Why isn't this guy more famous?)

It doesn't get deep or heavy, there's not too much gloom when things go wrong... it's a fluffy teen flick that this 55 year old male enjoyed.

If you get drained by the overly emotional garbage that usually accompanies American 'romcom' type movies, this one will surprise you in a good way.

6.2/10 (Recommend)

I won't lie I was expecting to go into this movie with extreme disappointment. Not only is it a one night stand, but it's a two night stand and despite that fact it holds its own. Miles Teller and Analeigh (Lio) Tipton have fantastic chemistry. They make all the awkwardness of a hookup melt away. This movie is more than two strangers having sex, but rather two people realizing what they want out of life. Despite the two of them being the driving force for the majority of the movie I was actually invested in their story and outcome. I can't really say where this movie would land amongst couples and single, but it definitely gives enough of a spark to check out once.

That's all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Until next time.... Enjoy the show!

"You might not be the worst person in the world to be stuck with." Megan (Tipton) has lost her way. She graduated from college with a degree she doesn't want and spends her days at home doing nothing. When she tries on-line dating she meets Alec (Teller) and the two meet and share a night together. When she tries to leave in the morning she is surprised by a snowstorm that has forced them to spend more time together. What starts off has two people that hate each other soon grows into something else. This is just a good movie. The writing is witty and funny and the actors have great chemistry together. The movie is totally predictable and very cookie cutter but that in no way hurts the movie. The younger crowd may like this more than an older one but I am 36 and really enjoyed this and so did my wife. The dialog is funny and there is a lot of truth to what is said. There are some really funny parts in this and I laughed a lot all the way through. Overall, a very smartly written romantic comedy that I really enjoyed. I surprisingly give this an A-.

On a bit of a Miles T kick rn but wanted something kinda light. Gave this a shot and so glad I did! Thought the actress would get annoying right away bc the only thing I've seen her in is Crazy, Stupid, Love in such an irritating part, but she was really funny and I even got used to her bangs by the end (almost). Totally unpredictable twist 2/3 of the way through and I even rewound part of it to rewatch a few scenes. Great chemistry btwn the 2 and super funny writing. Miles was hilarious and I lol'ed through most of it so much I'm surprised I didn't wake up the kids. He's got perfect timing and genuinely seems funny in real life. Don't know if it was actually shot in ny but def some authentic footage from past snowstorms. Also Michael Showalter was amazing as the weather guy. I had the cc on and was able to read some dialogue that I probs would have missed others wise. Jessica from gossip girl and her bf were almost scene stealers esp at the end. Could have been such a stupid, throwaway rom-com set in New York but the details and delivery and casting saved it. Will def rewatch and recommend!
