Overview
Two love-starved strangers crash into each other on the one night of the year when single people are allowed to have sex.
I was ok with the hokey premise because it kind of allowed the story to fast-forward to the themes that it wanted to get to. Monica Barbaro is cute as a button and a decent actress, but she doesn’t have the charisma to elevate a really mediocre script. Callum Turner was the best part of this movie, and even he was made to look mediocre at times. The ending wasn’t bad, I suppose.
