🎬 Movie Review: Two Night Stand

#MovieReview - 2 Night Stand on http://theteenytinytoutfaire.blogspot.it/2014/11/movie-review-two-night-stand.html
Do you remember the amazing snowstorm that hit the U.S  early this year, causing many inconveniences like closed streets and flights canceled, not mentioning other tragedies?
Well...have you ever thought how would have been like if you ended up stuck with a complete stranger, after the first and only time you did something "rebellious"?

I love how Miles Teller is working hard trying to make us forget his as***** character Peter (in the Divergent saga) by taking parts in comedies like this and in "That Awkward Moment". 
You nearly made it, Miles!
Here's the story (SPOILER ALERT!)

Megan can't believe (and doesn't want to) how much and how drastically her life changed in just one yearshe was engaged with a super cute guy and ended pre-med school. 
Now she's single and doesn't know what to do next, except staying all day long in her best friend Faiza's apartment in pajamas! 
Faiza is sick and tired of the situation and "forces" Megan to go out with her and her boyfriend Cedric, but when Megan stepped into her ex-boyfriend, turns back and goes home. 
Megan previously subscribed (without much conviction) on a dating site, so when gets back home decides to try the "one night stand" that Faiza suggested her to have! 
After a couple of funny "nope!" she starts a video chat with Alec and after a while decides to reach his apartment...

Megan wakes up the next morning and tries to sneak out noiselessly, but she's a bit goofy and somehow manages to make the alarm go off! Alec turns it off and asks Megan if she usually stays for breakfast or just leaves. Obviously, she feels judged, argues with Alec, and leaves furiously.

Reaches the flat's front door, but...she can't open it! During nighttime, a heavy snowstorm hit the city and covered everything with layers on layers of white snow!

Megan and Alec have no options, besides spent the next 2 days stuck in his apartment together and that's when they decide to give each other dating and romantic advice. 
They start having fun, but just when everything seems to go in the right way Megan finds out that Alec hid something from her and leaves...
Back to Faiza's apartment, she and Cedric ask Megan when she will move out because they loved having the house for they own for a few days...Megan thought this day might come and says she will go back to her parents' after New Year's eve, which she will spend in...
Do you want to know where? WATCH THE MOVIE!!!

It's a pretty good movie, I liked the way they talked about the "one night stand" issue with humor and without diminishing either women's noir men's characters.


It DOES pass the Bechdel-Wallace test
1. There must be at least two women (and the names must be known) ✔
2. The women have to talk to each other 
3. The topic of conversation can be about anything except men
