It’s the conundrum facing Megan (Analeigh Tipton) and Alec (Miles Teller), who discover they don’t particularly like each other, once they’ve rumped, pumped and trumped. It’s Megan who’s the catalyst for the film’s narrative, as it’s she we see setting up the quickie online following the ending of her relationship with her fiancee. She merrily trots over to Alec’s place, and what we then get is a film that’s effectively a single-location stage play for the vast bulk of its running time. Mark Hammer’s screenplay follows the path you might expect. There’s a lot of awkwardness, and then, as the two get to know each other a little better, things warm up slightly. By the end of the film, he’s made the effort – admittedly a bit late – to deepen the characters somewhat, and director Max Nichols almost seems relieved to get the pair outside just before the credits roll. Considering the film is balanced on a contrivance, it’s only near the end it really feels over-forced, but by that point, it’s more a question of how much you have invested in Megan and Alec. I surprised myself: I still cared, and much of the credit for that goes to Teller, and particularly Tipton. They’re no Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, instead feeling a bit more real with some genuine rough edges to their characters. Yet Two Night Stand is effective, entertaining, reasonably funny in places, and – whilst not really worth the effort of a jaunt to the multiplex – it’s better than its muted arrival in the UK may lead you to believe. It’s far from being the best Miles Teller film of the year, of course. But it’s still a decent effort in its own right.
