Director blames US test audiences for making his sex-themed rom-com sexless

thedailybeast.com

Director Will Gluck says he cut nudity from his new sex-themed rom-com "One Night Only" because modern test audiences were uncomfortable, resulting in a sexless R-rated film. The dystopian film, set in a US where unmarried people can have sex only once yearly, drew criticism for lacking tension despite its premise. Gluck told Variety test-screening feedback pushed him to edit out sex scenes. Gluck's earlier films include "Anyone But You" and "Friends with Benefits." The movie's ending sees protagonists choose celibacy for a year, a choice critics call anti-fun.
