Two Night Stand

Two Night Stand is a 2014 American romantic comedy film directed by Max Nichols, written by Mark Hammer, and starring Miles Teller, Lio Tipton,[a] Jessica Szohr, Leven Rambin, and Scott Mescudi.

After a bouncer refuses to let her into the club on the grounds that she looks too young and she did not have her ID, she runs into her ex-fiancé, Chris, and later decides to have a one-night stand with one of the men she found on the website, Alec.

Nichols read the script, which appeared on The Black List in December 2011, and pitched his vision of the story to producers Beau Flynn, Ruben Fleischer and Adam Yoelin.

"We immediately started casting the film and were lucky to have a lot of talented actors and actresses who were interested, but there was something about [Lio] Tipton's 'Megan' that caught my attention."

[5] After the primary cast was in place, producers went off "to work their [financing] magic", said Nichols, and the shoot was scheduled for October 2012, which coincided with Hurricane Sandy.

"[Lio] and Miles were staying downtown in an apartment and were stranded there without power", added Nichols, giving the actors a real-life parallel to their characters' own predicament.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Two Night Stand proves even a pair of well-matched leads isn't enough to take a rom-com all the way from interesting idea to watchable feature.

"[8] In a positive review for Behind the Lens, Debbie Lynn Elias wrote, "exuberant and engaging, filled with youthful fun and genuine moments of wide-eyed enchantment, Two Night Stand captures the heart with humor and sweet romance.

"[10] Writing for Variety, critic Ella Taylor said that Nichols and Hammer "have their fingers on the generational pulse," describing the film as, "an absorbing dramedy about two bruised souls mustering the nerve to open themselves up to love again.
