imonly t I LOVED this movie. It was a great vehicle and change of pace for both Snipes and Kinski as well as the co-starring players Ming-Na Wen who shined like the bright star, she is and should be starring in film and TV constantly. Kudos to Kyle MacLachlan, Robert Downey Jr. and anything Thomas Haden Church does is a gem. I loved the combo of drama, romance, honesty and sensitivity along with a natural course of temptation all the way being guided by the direction and writing skills of Mike Figgis. I'm shocked that it got such a low score on some platforms. I've seen this flick a few times because I love it so much and after writing this, I think I'm going to watch it yet again. It's quality screen time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't enjoy this movie at all. The plot is dull and unoriginal and I was always just wanting to know what was happening to RDJ's character. They used him and what his character was going through to get two people who are married to others together. Which is sooooooooooo stupid he is going through something serious and the movie barely focuses on it.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/02/19 Full Review Audience Member ah 1997 how can you hate anything from that time, when literally everything sucks now!! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/25/19 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a stereotypical relationship drama about infidelity and how it impacts relationships. It takes way too long for the one night stand to occur, and the movie goes through some of the most elaborate plot conveniences and coincidences just to figure out a way of thrusting these two characters at one another. It’s as if the movie is trying to justify their actions because so many things happen to lead them to this place. I almost started laughing because the title of the movie tells you what is coming, but they are going through the motions so much before they finally make it happen. Then they transition into the long sequences of guilt and marriage breakdown, because that’s what the cliché requires. This is close to a Lifetime movie in how obvious and convenient the plot is structured. The final predictable shift in the movie is to the inevitable awkward meeting of the lovers, with their spouses in tow, which leads to uncomfortable glances and no one speaking like a normal human being. It always amazes me how terrible people in movies are at acting like there’s nothing weird going on. Like, have these people never lied before in their lives? The most frustrating aspect of One Night Stand is that they utilize a homosexual best friend who is dying of AIDS as a plot device to bring everything to a head. It cheapens something that should be genuine and emotional. But this movie has no problem with cheapening real things. The manipulative way they wrap everything up as if it’s supposed to be this perfect happy ending that works out for everyone, made me laugh out loud. I won’t even talk about the stupid voiceover that Wesley Snipe utilizes several times for no reason at all, a couple of times even breaking the fourth wall and talking right to camera. The whole movie is a mess, and no one has any reason to watch it unless you want to laugh at it, or enjoy the few scenes with Robert Downey, Jr. that are heartfelt and sincere.
