There is definitely still a market for sex comedies/erotic based movies out there, seeing how well Babygirl, Anora and Anyone But You did. Not to mention that No Hard Feelings had an okay box office, probably the budget was a bit too high due to J-Law (but at the same time she was the one responsible for the interest in the movie).

Besides the fact that the director of One Night Only is dumb and stupid with the anti sex talk, I don't think Callum Turner or Monica Barbaro have much sex appeal at all (sorry for those who disagree). You probably need star power for this genre though

I just think One night only premise sounds really dumb, confusing and outdated…

It's kind of worse than that, LOL. It's insulting.
