Two Night Stand is Hollywood’s attempt to spin Tinder dating into a contemporary rom com. Miles Teller and Analeigh Tipton are the digital mismatch, who after a pretty lame-ass hook-up, are forced to remain in each other’s company while a snowstorm passes. This gives them adequate time to demonstrate quite fully how bad the other one was in bed.
If the film falls squarely into obvious love-hate territory after, it’s saved by a likeable pairing in the two Ts. Miles Teller, fresh from a breakout performance in Whiplash, shows exactly why he’s gone from zero to hero in Tinseltown’s eyes with a witty, fresh tale on the standard guy role. If you haven’t fallen for him already, expect to within the next six months with Divergent and the Fantastic Four reboot in the summer.
Two Night Stand is not honest enough to put you off online dating forever; it’s way too cutesy for that. But if you insist on a cinema date this Valentine’s weekend, it makes for a way less awkward stint in the multiplex than Fifty Shades playing next door.
