Pop Culture Happy Hour Pans 'One Night Only' 12-Hour Dystopian Rom-Com

Summary
NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour says 'One Night Only' has "very little to say," delivering a largely negative review of the new dystopian romantic comedy.
The film imagines an alternate universe where premarital sex is banned except for one 12-hour window each year, following two New Yorkers trying to take advantage of the temporary reprieve.
Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner star in the movie, whose provocative setup, the review argues, ends up feeling less daring and more chaste than its premise suggests.
