moviesApr 29, 202619239

Universal released the trailer for Will Gluck's rom-com One Night Only, starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner. The film imagines a dystopian law that makes premarital sex illegal except for one sanctioned night each year, and Barbaro and Turner play strangers trying to connect during that night. Molly Ringwald, LeVar Burton, Maya Hawke, Julia Fox and Ziwe appear in supporting roles, and Universal schedules the theatrical release for August 7. The Purge-style premise gives the rom-com a high-concept hook that aims to revive big-screen romantic comedies.

"It's a rom-com version of 'The Purge,' Liz, where premarital sex is outlawed except for one night every year."

The Purge, but with people fucking Coming up Next: The Purge, but cocaine is legal The Purge, but traffic lights don't count The Purge, but you are allowed to not tip The Purge, but for one day everything is cake

… Is someone going to tell them about the traditional work-around for anti-sex laws known as ‘fucking in secret’? If they’ve written a way around that we’re out of pure rom com and into sci fi dystopia. (Which is a genre combo I now want.)

...So are there, like, 20 other people (male and female) also trying to bang her? Like, her apartment is under siege as she bravely holds off the horde of horny with shotguns and assault rifles, all while our plucky hero tries to sneak in by the back door (oh, matron!)?

I told a coworker about this, he said "so instead of The Purge, it's The Urge"

The United States averages around 500,000 reports of sexual assault every year. That’s just what’s reported, not even close to actual. Gonna be a hard reality to paint out of a movie

Technically speaking, this was also possible in The Purge

Lemme guess, she heads out to get laid and somehow manages to not, while people are hooking up all over the place, we get a hour and a half of her crashing and burning with randos while there’s a “will they, won’t they with him” (hint: they will), and just before Purge time is over, they do.

What an odd premise. This is sure to suck ass.

He's making a film for premarital sex, you know, like it's not allowed. It's allowed now.
