Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Sometimes beauty can make time stand still. Just One Night celebrates the power of true love, starring Timothy Hutton (The General's Daughter, Beautiful Girls) and Maria Grazia Cucinotta (II Postino, The World is Not Enough). A sexy romantic comedy set in San Francisco, Just One Night is a 24-hour wild ride through the "city by the bay." On the night before his wedding, during a stopover in San Francisco, Isaac Alder (Timothy Hutton), a young professor, is fatefully thrown into the life of a beautiful, married woman, Aurora (Maria Grazia Cucinotta), as each of their taxicabs collide causing a head-on meeting. Their attraction to each other is undeniable and leads them on a night of discovering not only the charm of San Francisco, but also the true meaning of love.

5.0 out of 5 stars A romantic movie for everyone, February 27, 2002

This review is from: Just One Night [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Guys always seem to face a relationship hurdle, the movie to watch with the girlfriend(boyfriend). There aren't many movies out there that a couple can always enjoy together. Some women just can't take another viewing of Ronin or Get Carter (please find me one who can). This movie makes being a boyfriend movie viewer easy. Its witty, its funny, its well done, and at times it makes that single soap-opera tear very real. As you watch the series of events unfold, you just can't help but feel like you were Isaac, or Aurora. You feel for the characters and you feel for some reason, you start to feel for yourself. A must for any romantic at heart. A must for anyone who's a fan of good movies. A must for anyone who can't find a good DVD to watch in the dark as you cry over a lost soul. In general, a must.

4.0 out of 5 stars A real gem among romantic comedies, December 19, 2002

This review is from: Just One Night (DVD)

Despite being a romantic comedy, this is not your average chick flick. It is free of the saccharin sentimentality that makes many such movies unpalatable to most men (and to me.) Quirky and surprising, this movie will make you cackle with laughter if you are willing to immerse yourself, even momentarily, in its magic fate-driven atmosphere. This has a beautiful, old-fashioned feel to it, in the vein of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"--sweet but edgy. Though the characters are somewhat lacking in depth, they are not in charm. Timothy Hutton is quite yummy as the brainy and ironic professor, and Maria Grazia is both charismatic and unfairly sexy. Skip the big-budget Hollywood dross and indulge in this understated and memorable treat.

A truly funny, and more than a little off-beat comedy. Pay attention to the taxis in this movie! I highly recommend it, if you want to move beyond slapstick stuff.
