New romcom "One Night Only," starring Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro, has divided critics with its premise banning premarital sex for all but 12 hours a year. Critical responses range from RogerEbert.com's zero-star "putrid, regressive" condemnation to Variety praising the leads' chemistry. The Guardian says the totalitarian premise clashes with a sunny romcom tone. Turner is a reported James Bond contender; director Will Gluck previously made hit "Anyone But You." The premise has drawn comparisons to "The Purge." The film opens August 28.
