Critics Consensus: 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.

Two Night Stand is a notch below popping to Nando's on the list of things to do with a significant other this Valentine's.
Yet another would-be charming male fantasy about how even the smartest girls can be charmed out of their pants by a schlubby doofus with a penchant for heavy negging.
A slight but not-unengaging Young Person's Romantic Comedy ...
Featuring strong dialogue and terrific performances, the film has moments of near-brilliance, but falls apart with a lame, conventional ending.
It turns out "Two Night Stand" is a one-act sex comedy badly in need of two more - acts, not nights.
It's hard not to root for this couple - and, more to the point, these actors - to get together again.
What's missing is a sufficiently varied narrative engine to keep this extended conceit on track; you may find yourself wishing the snow would melt long before the characters do.
It keeps you engaged and is often amusing.
Teller and Tipton make an appealingly awkward duo and their chemistry compensates for the film's contrived setup.
Fortunately, we have the sparkling Analeigh Tipton as Megan and the very likeable Miles Teller as Alec to keep this slight script alive.
...it's ultimately the endless charm of the actors that prevents one from checking out completely.
The makers were aiming for a how-we-date-now rom-com. Instead, they've made a film that might have seemed hip 10 years back but now seems dated, cold and cynical.
Harmless rom com. Brief at 86 minutes too. Not overly realistic, and bit of a dangerous message to send the teen girls who will no doubt love this, but fine if you don't overthink it. A few laughs and a happy ending.
Super Reviewer
Without it's two lovable leads, "Two Night Stand" would have been an implosion waiting to happen, however (even though very basic), I am pleased to say that it is an enjoyable little picture. Miles Teller always knows how to put himself into a role and I believed everything he was saying, and that is a lot when you consider the fact that the point of the film is kind of based upon trust. Taking place over the course of two days, the title kind of spoils the film in a way, but there are a few twists to keep you guessing. There are moments where the film does not feel worth it, but by the the time the credits rolled, I felt sympathetic towards it and it really is just a harmless little romance. I am only going to recommend this film to people who enjoy small indie romances, because there is not much else credit to give. Overall, a well-scripted romance that doesn't go anywhere unexpected. "Two Night Stand" is the definition of safe.
