Coming up with new ways to tell a romantic story is difficult, which is part of the reason why the genre has mostly retreated to streamers, where originality doesn’t matter much. The new film One Night Only borrows liberally from both previous romantic movies and other sources, but at least it’s trying to give moviegoers something they haven’t seen before.

Nejsem si jistá, je-li dobrá či špatná zpráva to, že slabé a pohříchu nudné romantické komedie nevznikají jen v české kinematografii, ale například i v americké. Tou nejnovější je snímek Na jednu noc, jehož režisér Will Gluck má na kontě například povedeného Králíčka Petra a méně podařenou romantiku S tebou nikdy.
