‘One Night Only’: 18 Questions We Have About the Movie’s ‘Sex Purge’ Premise

We’re going to try our best to go into One Night Only like we would any rom-com — fully prepared to be swept up by the story, chemistry, and happily-ever-after. However, letting all that rom-com goodness wash over us will likely be a harder task than usual because One Night Only doesn’t have your typical rom-com premise. It’s The Purge, but for sex instead of murder. It’s the Sex Purge, if you will.

From Anyone But You director Will Gluck, the movie follows Allie (Monica Barbaro) and Owen (Callum Turner), who live in a world where premarital sex is illegal besides one special night a year. When Allie and Owen both lose their planned partners for the night, they go looking for someone who’ll prove to be more than just a quick encounter.
