One Night Only Review: Romantic Comedy Explores Unique Premarital Sex Law Premise
One Night Only, directed by Will Gluck, is a romantic comedy set in a dystopian America where premarital sex is illegal except during one annual 12-hour period. The film follows Allie, a jingle writer, and Owen, a pizza shop owner, as they navigate this unusual law and their growing connection. While the premise offers potential for satire or darker themes, the movie primarily delivers a light, feel-good romance with humor, though some critics note it struggles to fully develop its concept or tone.
