Aventure d'un soir

"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!

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!

This was an interesting premise for what might have been a great funny romantic comedy...but the more I watch this movie, the more I can't stand the character of Megan.... She is the most irritating female romantic lead I have ever seen.... reminding me of every single passive-aggressive, direction-less and uninspiring gal I have ever known.... I mean if she was meant to be a bitchy sort of character, that aspect never came through correctly in the film.

She is not a strong person, or even focused... nothing in the exposition of her life tells me that she is a strong, modern woman.. and if that is what the movie is trying to go for, it falls super flat.

I find her character dull and plays a lot on the stereotypes of certain types of small-town girls....

Alec was okay. I think his humour and easy, lazy style saved his character and made things interesting to watch.

I think that the lead actors don't have a lot of screen chemistry. I mean, I can't feel the sizzle of on screen sex between them.

Some parts were pretty yawn inducing and I had to fast forward those bits...

As I said. it is a great premise.. could have been better with more interesting characters.... I mean I dun watch a movie to see everyday people... and these are some of the not so great examples of everyday people. The characters in particular need to be better thought out.

Thhis movie, although obviously not the greatest of the year, knows what it is, and it fully at ease with it. As a fellow young-adult going through tribulations on the love front, I did feel a connection with the characters. Miles Teller confirms that he has potential, and the other actors do their jobs, without being amazing (s.a. Scott Mescudi, who is apparently attempting a reconversion from rap to acting. He isn't bad, but he isn't quite there yet, and he still surfs on his fame to get his roles IMO). OK directing. Some funny moments, and an (expected and expectable) heart-warming ending. I recommend watching this if you are in the same situation as the characters, ergo stuck with a chick/guy you like on a snowy day.
