One Night Only romantic comedy released in cinemas

The romantic comedy ‘One Night Only’, directed by Will Gluck, has been released in cinemas. The film features a cast including Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro, set in a version of New York where pre-marital sex is outlawed in the United States, except for a single 24-hour period once a year when the ban is lifted.

The story follows Allie, a singer struggling with stage fright, and Owen, a pizzeria owner, as they cross paths during this state-permitted window. While some reviews highlight the chemistry between the leads and the film’s early 2000s rom-com atmosphere, the premise has also drawn attention for its satirical take on authoritarian governmental mandates.
