One Night Only Review: Monica Barbaro And Callum Turner Turn Absurdity Into Romantic Comedy Gold

One Night Only Review: Monica Barbaro And Callum Turner Turn Absurdity Into Romantic Comedy Gold

Name: One Night Only Director: Will Gluck Cast: Monica Barbaro, Callum Turner, Maya Hawke, Molly Ringwald, LeVar Burton Writer: Will Gluck Rating: 3/5 Plot What happens when officials decide intimacy should be allowed only once a year? That is the deliberately outrageous premise at the heart of One Night Only, directed by Will Gluck. Set in a version of America where premarital s*x is illegal for most of the year, the film follows Allie played by Monica Barbaro and Owen portrayed by Callum Turner as they navigate New York during the one night when intimacy is legally permitted. What begins as a potentially romantic evening quickly becomes a whirlwind of awkward encounters and unexpected complications. The film establishes its strange world quickly, giving the story an energetic opening before shifting its attention almost entirely to the central relationship. The setup immediately raises bigger questions about the society these characters inhabit. How did such a thing become normal? What happens during the other 364 days? How does an entire country organize itself around one night? One …

My Bias, My Boss web series review Cast: Kim Hye Jun, Kang Hoon, Cha Woo Min, Gong Ji Ho, Kim Ah Young, Hwang Sung Bin, Shin Yu Na, Heo Joon Seok Director: Park Ji Hyun, Jeong Da Hyung Rating: ★★★ K-pop has inspired quite a few K-dramas over the years. Shows like So I Married an Anti-fan, Imitation, Dream High and Doona! have all explored different sides of idol life and fandom. While some leaned more into fantasy than reality, Imitation remains one of the few dramas that genuinely captured what it means to be a K-pop idol. Going by its first two episodes, the new series My Bias, My Boss seems to be heading in that direction too. My Bias, My Boss review: A fangirl’s dream collides with office chaos in this charming K-drama.

Farah Khan reveals Main Hoon Na started as a college rom-com, India-Pak angle added later: ‘Why make a small picture?’

Farah Khan’s directorial debut, Main Hoon Na (2004), remains one of Bollywood’s most beloved films, starring Shah Rukh Khan alongside Sushmita Sen, Amrita Rao, Zayed Khan and Suniel Shetty. While audiences know it as a mix of action, comedy, and family drama, Farah recently revealed that the film’s concept started much smaller, as a simple rom-com set in a college.

Where is the love? Why Bollywood has become that place where intense, angry romances are in vogue and rom-coms are only hate-watched | Bollywood News

What’s the last romantic comedy you watched? Barely a couple of years after we all sought refuge in rom-com haven to escape the pervasive doom of a global pandemic, the much-loved genre is struggling to thrive. It’s been replaced by a more angsty cousin, the intense romantic drama. The ‘com’ has taken a backseat as intensity has taken over the wheel. Why does love come embedded with anger now? What happened to the candyfloss, the bubblegum, the climactic proposal/reconciliation at the airport? What happened to all the clichés? “I think, consciously or subconsciously, we’re all reacting to the world around us. There’s a lot of uncertainty, uneasiness, and violence, whether it’s between countries or even within them. We’re all also much more aware and connected. So, how can the hate around us not get to our idea of love?,” says Aanand L Rai, who’s helmed the full range, from a rom-com franchise like Tanu Weds Manu to his blockbuster intense romance Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, which released in cinemas last year. …
