The One-Nighter

This is a super fun, well done rom com and I ate it up! I love the concept of a true one-nighter but instead of regretting it, you actually don't remember it! Novel idea! Loved the performances all around, really funny writing and directing. If you love an original rom-com, you don't want to miss this. Highly and hilariously recommend!!

The One-Nighter is a funny romantic comedy about a young man and woman who wake up after a one night stand and don't remember a thing. They try to piece together who they are with, what happened the night before, and why they are stuck in some apartment together. The story also involves the next door neighbor (the former top hooker in Newark!) and the guy she's with, as well as a few other characters. The One-Nighter is obviously a low budget indie, but the actors really give it their all to make for a fun, light comedy. It was also a pleasant surprise to see Timothy Bottoms in the film, whom you may remember from his spot on George W. Bush impressions on such shows as That's My Bush! that was made by the South Park creators. If you're looking for a refreshing, light rom-com then check out The One-Nighter!

I loved the combination of quirkiness and romance in this film. It's light-hearted, sexy, funny and wild all at the same time and the hilarious musical interludes add a nice touch.

I think the thing that brings this silly rom com to life is the performances. The actors do a great job of committing to the comedy without trying to be funny. The characters and story is where the silliness lives. A little slap stick, a little Woody Allen. Embrace the characters and enjoy the ride. Popcorn helps.

An excellent movie overall. Very funny, thoroughly enjoyable. While obviously not a high budget movie, this didn't take away anything from the storyline or acting. Refreshingly original too - a nice departure from the same tired old stories in the cinemas lately. I would like to see more of Jill Jaress' work after this. Without giving anything of the story away, the style in which it is done kept me engaged the whole way through - no lulls. It promises to keep you laughing the whole way through and delivers on that promise by the comical adventures in each scene. This movie is a reminder that a great story and talented actors is all you really need for a winning movie experience.
