Only for One Night

source: Only for One Night

Actually thanks to fast forward it was less than that. However this movie was poorly acted, poorly written and thoroughly unintelligible. Best scene was beginning of the movie when the son makes his parents breakfast in bed... cereal and juice everywhere... then it was downhill from there.

It's a 3 out of 10 because it was shot beautifully and the actors and the house were all beautiful, but looks shouldn't be everything. Film would've been MUCH better with a less attractive but more talented cast. A movie doesn't have to be shot in a beautifully furnished mansion to be a good story. I guess if I hadn't seen Fatal Attraction, then I would've enjoyed it more, but even then it was missing that thrill factor. This movie rips off Fatal Attraction so much that I was able to predict every scene and most of the dialogue. It's not as good as FA because they don't really explain much why the sister falls in love with the husband, except for a bit at the end where they show her being schizophrenic? In FA they had that interesting scene where the characters both bond over Madame Butterfly, but we get none of that in this film. In this movie the wife is SO in love with the husband that it seems like they've been dating for 2 months only, and I find it super shocking that the wife has no idea what a psycho the sister is. Also ridiculous how she knew she was pregnant after 2 days?! The most entertaining part of the film was watching the son at the beginning fail to prepare two bowls of cereal, and then it went downhill from there.

This doesn't even reach the level of a mediocre movie in this (already mediocre) genre. Quite literally comes across as if it was written in one day. Was there really not a single person on board of this production who raised a flag about the fact that it is literally, LITERALLY impossible to know that you are pregnant after a couple of days? They really didn't need ANY extra budget for that to be corrected. And yes, the sister's repeated drinking during a (strongly wanted) pregnancy also seems to have been completely overlooked. This COULD have been explained away by the fact that apparently the sister is just completely insane (with no depth beyond that whatsoever), but it still wouldn't explain why Angel-Princess-Wife/sister never called her out on it. I guess everyone just LITERALLY FORGOT. Also what on earth kind of drug was the husband meant to have been given? Clearly it wasn't anything incapacitating as he very actively - as has been mentioned before by multiple reviewers - smashed the sh*t out of the sister. Some kind of upper is definitely implied, like molly or something? That really wouldn't have such an effect, at all. I don't know about any substance that would (so completely out of the blue, over the top and out of control) and apparently neither did the makers or they would've probably specified it. Did the relationship between husband & wife really have to be so nauseatingly impossibly perfect in the beginning? It just made the rest of the plot via his actions even more unrealistic. At the very least the makers could have thought of a few other ways for the characters to show their love for each other besides just constantly making out and citing generic Valentine's Day card quotes to each other. Or was this all just necessary set-up for Angel-Princess-Wife to forgive him in the end and live happily ever after, literally after her husband cheated with her sister (with nothing more than the vague implication of being drugged by an unknown and probably unconvincing substance, and also: didn't he do it again later? Or had this mysterious drug just not fully worn off yet? Lol) who ended up getting killed because of the situation. 1 extra star for the male lead, Brian White, who did a completely decent job with what trash he was given. The sisters' acting, even with the very little depth they had to work with, was just bad. Timing and tone completely off and unconvincing, downright cringy most times. I'd been following Karrueche Tran (playing the wife) and her path for a bit because she seems like a nice positive chick and I was invested in her story and her come-up. I've seen snippets of more recent appearances where her performance did get a bit better (not much unfortunately) - but in this movie she really really wasn't ready. Also, I know she herself IS actually an appropriate enough age for the woman she's portraying (still kinda young at 27/28 but ok), but at the end of the day Karrueche just looks much younger so I guess should be casted for younger roles. If I had watched this movie not knowing her as an actress, I would think why did they cast a 22 year old as a married woman with a child who's like 7. The babyvoice to emphasize her complete innocence, purity and naivity didn't help the situation either. (Also although it was never specified in the movie of which ethnicity the sisters are meant to be, why not at least pick two actresses with the same ethnicity?? Maybe a bridge too far for this show but come on they don't even look like each other at all.) Nah come on even if the plot was thought up in one day and even with the expectations that people have of a low-budget film in this genre, it could have been at least 4 stars. Ya dropped the ball.

I wasn't sure whether it was a spoof or just a terrible movie. It is so so terribly bad it gave me a headache. The acting and directing is just the worst. Do not waste your time on this peace of garbage. I literally watched it cause I thought it was a comedy because of how terrible it was and it turns out it just an awful movie.

This is such a cringy film. The plot had promise although it's basically just "Fatal Attraction" and "Single White Female". The acting was absolutely terrible from everyone. The only actor who put any effort in was the one playing the kid. After he slept with his sister-in-law once, he carried on seeing her and being nice to her, it was so ridiculous. He certainly didn't seem guilty at first. The pregnancy was a joke, she seemed to up her wine intake once she found out she was pregnant. The funniest part for me was the ending. His wife just forgives him after he banged her sister, got her pregnant and then killed her. One of the worst films I have ever seen.

Theee stars for effort, beautiful people, and fabulous home decor. Other than that, it's a dud! Sorry. Spoilers ahead...not that you haven't already predicted them! The lead actress' overacting was fit for Telemundo...and that's NO compliment, baby! Ironically, her best scene was of her character in the hospital bed showing William how she would cry and lie to her sister about being drugged and raped. Basically, her best acting scene was of her character's acting. Go figure! The director should've told her to stay within that same vein throughout. Chris just doesn't do it as a movie director for me. I'm sorry. Brian, with his FINE self, worked with what he had. Poor writing aside, the movie might've worked a little better under his direction. He is a veteran actor after all. I like Karrueche. I think she has potential, which she has gone on to exhibit in projects since this monstrosity. This was a no-go. The kid was adorable. Omar Gooding is literally the same guy in everything he participates: The obnoxious, goofy, desperate guy. That's the extent of his range. Marques, bruh...this ain't it chief! First of all, if you're going to skimp on plot creativity, as least make up for it with some iron-clad character development. I'm not sure why I was supposed to care about any of these two-dimensional paper people. As I heard someone say to me before, "they came out of the same hole!" So, why was one sister well-adjusted and other crazy as bat-lips? How did the psychosister get to that point? What happened to her husband? Was he sick? Did she kill him? Did he fall off a forklift at work? And what was her relationship development really like with her sister that she trusted her enough to be all up in her man, but apparently wasn't on terms that allowed her to say "HEY! What's up with all the drinking while you're pregnant??" Now for a couple of tidbits that most probably didn't care about, but that were blaring red flags that the writer (BYE ROGER!) took zero care in researching for this movie: 1. Again, this woman was pregnant with a baby she apparently really wanted but began drinking more AFTER she found out?? This baby, in her twisted mind, would be a bond between her and the man she could otherwise forget about having involvement with, and she poured alcohol on it every chance she got? 2. I guess the whole movie team said HIPPA-be-darned, huh? Here this chick is laid up in a hospital bed after having tried to off herself, her sister mosies up to the front desk, asks if she's there and what do you know? The attendant says yes AND immediately gives her the room number. Sis then runs off to the room without resistance from staff. Not nare identification verification. Nothing. First of all the attendant would've been fired the moment she said "yes, she's here." ***Bonus: Whatup with the repeated 10-second stills of the parked car throughout the film?? At first I thought, "oh okay, they're about to show them getting it in the car". Later, " oh she's about to be stalking them from the car." Finally, "oh, he's about to murder her in the car." Nah, it was just a random still of a car in the driveway for no reason. I guess someone had to squeeze every possible use out of their stock image subscription!

Unless you're a masochist I'd steer clear of this flaming wreck. Thin storyline tries to conceal itself in the nigh nonexistent plot structure, comes across as immensely amateurish. None of the main actors put any more than 37% effort into their "acting", feeling like they phoned it in even while on set. The premise is far from new--man's wife's sister stays at the house while wife's away, she sleeps with husband, becomes overly attached and gets psycho about it. I only wasted my time with this review to try and save as many souls from this messy relationship as I can, lol. Seriously, this thing is a waste of resources; you'd be better served counting the grains of sand you tracked in yesterday. Would give 0 stars if possible.

Going into this movie, I expected a lot since it was recommended and had well known actor Brian White as the leading man, but was quickly let down by the terrible acting (from everyone but Brian). The script itself seemed okay-ish. There were something that were said that I felt could've been just showed or more like implicit than explicit, but that's just me. There was one inconsistency where Caroline constantly drinks wine while pregnant, but is adamant about wanting to keep the baby and start a family which probably bothered me more than it should have. I also feel like there wasn't enough development of some of the characters. For example, Kim, Chloe's bestie (I'm assuming) or Richard, Caroline's late husband (the lack of development on him really irked me especially since they didn't clarify how he died; was nothing suspicious? The police usually always have an ongoing investigation about the crazy person in movies). Overall, this is a good film if it is a first film, but it's probably more fun to watch while drunk.

As several reviews indicated, often, when a movie is made and considered to be very good it spawns others with very similar Plots and story lines. Many times that can work and produce an interesting film/s worth viewing. Ten minutes into "Just 4 one night" I felt like I was experiencing Deja vous. 20 minutes into it I was, quite literally, able to predict almost every scene, in chronological order, including much of the dialog and mannerisms of the actors and exactly what was coming next. If the film was touted as a remake of "Fatal Attraction" then I would have known what to expect. That is not the case with this piece of C**P film. It is hard to believe that the Producers, Director and Actors have not filed a law suit against the makers of "J4ON"! I would typically name the makers of the original film this one ripped off, but did not bother to even google the names as I had already wasted 80'+ minutes of my life on this film. The acting is terrible, the dialog and scene chronology was poorly done and predictable (again, if you have ever seen the very well done thriller "Fatal Attraction" with Michael Douglas and Glenn Close...Both were the only names I could recall from FA) and despite some minor differences in the story line, it was almost exactly the same. With the understanding that "Fatal Attraction" was an 8 vs. "J4ON" being a 1! Not a single redeeming factor in this production other then the fact that the actors were mostly easy on the eyes. I'll close on this....I have no problem with remakes or enhancements on previously made movies. That said, this film literally plagiarizes 90% of "FA" and does so shamefully. Please, fellow movie fans, Watch "Fatal Attraction", then, for laughs, watch "Just 4 one night"...,I think the usage of the number four (4) in the title to replace "for" is the most original idea in this whole Train wreck.
