Moviegoers are saying
This inventive romantic comedy cleverly reimagines The Purge concept for date night, creating a chaotic one-night setting where everyone's having sex except the main characters. Despite mixed ratings averaging 4.4/10, audiences consistently praise its originality, hilarious moments, and strong chemistry between leads, though some find the execution lacking.

I bring a LIVE LAUGH LOVE vibe to the fascist dystopia that everyone finds very fun
JakeJul 27, 2026Callum Turner is the hottest man on the brink of balding I’ve ever seen.
Sadie WaldoAug 5, 2026this is possibly the worst idea for a film i've ever seen

This is mostly enjoyable when it’s just about two people trying to get laid and having a crazy night, but quite sad and sinister when it’s very meagerly addressing or even submitting to, ya know, all the fascism. Weird movie!
Sydney🚀Aug 6, 2026Was trying to think of a joke for this but I’m shooting blanks
FramesofnickAug 4, 2026There is a moment of coffee cup acting in this movie that is so horrendously terrible that it almost single-handedly ruined the film

- C-Dawg likedOne Night Only
One of the funnier Rom coms I’ve watched in awhile. Like how they kept getting separated but continued to find each other again and they addressed how weird that is in New York. Only gripe is the daydreaming either should have happened less or more.
Kikiiii lovedOne Night OnlyThis maybe the best romcom I have seen this year. I seriously loved it, the jokes landed, references I got and just straight up chemistry was through the roof!!
Jade dislikedOne Night OnlyHonestly…. Wtf. Script was incredibly poor. I didn’t know it was possible to mess up a romantic comedy THIS bad. I stand corrected🤡

- Clay Werner is "meh" onOne Night Only
6.4 - I’m not a big fan of most rom-coms (usually much more into rom-drams), usually finding them incredibly cliche & too frequently lacking decent romance. But I like them most when I have a certain expectation of, or hope for, absurdity & off-the-wall ideas, & this absolutely checked those…
Thomas Joyce is "meh" onOne Night OnlyPerhaps the most bizarre, batshit crazy set-up to a rom-com that I can think of… Even how the movie goes about it all is weird as you like; one minute cracking jokes, the next attempting to be all political, and anti-mandate - it’s odd! That aside, the film is charming and funny enough, it’s…
milliesimpson_x lovedOne Night Onlyhonestly so perfect! when i first saw the trailer a few months back it caught my eye and i’ve been excited to watch it ever since, i feel like the timings of everything was so perfect, they didn’t cross paths too early on but it also didn’t feel rushed, the comedy element was also fantastic, best…

I loved the city scenery it was a funny rom com with adult urges.
WVWilfredo VerasIt's basically a Romantic Comedy version of THE PURGE franchise. Quite clever I must say and I laughed plenty. I actually wish the movie was a bit longer to see what else could have transpired throughout the night in the lives of the two main protagonists before they…
ABanthony brownIt was hilarious in the way. It was like the purge bus sucks. Was one day out of the year, which was crazy. I love how the chemistry between the two lead actors were and I definitely will see this again if I had a date.
