Good concept, poorly executed.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The acting in this movie is really good.

A very touching story of love and fear of commitment of a young couple who meet and move quickly through the relationship phases. They experience the ups and downs of a budding relationship that outgrows the boundaries set by both. The influence of friends, job and fear of love wreaks havoc on the young couple. Rob Lowe is a playboy that is scared to commit to Demi Moore who wants more out of their relationship. The soundtrack is amazing and the reality of the situation makes the experience so heartfelt

I had nightmares that my future dates would turn into the emotional relationship epic portrayed in this film. But, alas, it never happened (fortunately).I don't have too much to say about this film, other than it's a window at how young couples used to frolic during the cultural renaissance that was the 1980s. When PCs were just becoming household items, cell phones were still big bulky affairs the size of military walkie talkies, Star Wars was still the premier sci-fi property while Star Trek lived on in re-runs. Noriega and Santiago were the bad guys of the era instead of the now deceased bin Laden and Hussein, and the Russkies were still communists.Things weren't a whole lot easier then. In fact, in spite of the lack of technology that we have today, I would say things probably got a bit more complicated on a social and interpersonal level between societies. But man and woman will always be male and female, and the convolutions of tip-toeing or barreling straight into a relationship while trying to find a way out of any previous attachment is the soup d'jour. Rob Lowe gives us the inner city good looking guy trying to make good who is, for whatever reason, unattached. Demi Moore's character, on the other hand, has a touch of either caring-mercenary as she plays with her superiors, or a naivete and care free spirit about whom she dates. The two meet. Sparks fly. Bodies entangle. Emotions flair. But will they stay together, and how will this effect their friends? Isn't that what all chick flicks are about?On the fringe in this tumultuous relationship are the dysfunctional friends. One obsessive and possessive, the other just highly immature for a grown man. Both of whom are vicariously living through their friends. How will this spice or dilute the lovers' romance? Anyway, yeah, this is how I remember the 80s... er, somewhat at least. I was never part of that singles scene, but I did witness it from a distance and smirked.It's a fine film about a slice of life that came and went. It's very well acted for what it is. Very solid performances, but nothing in regards to high drama. Nobody's dying here, it's just a tale of everyday happenings of a young couple, and how they navigate the hurts and loves of themselves and those around them.Not my favorite film, but it's a decent watch.Enjoy.

I heard that this movie was going to be remade this year (2011)... This is yet another example that Hollywood has become bereft of original thoughts. About last night really only works as a period piece of the 1980's (I know it was adapted from a play in the 1970's but the decades weren't that different). If you put to modern a spin on it, it'll lose all it meaning and wind up a parody of itself. There are simply no modern taboo's left to explore in the film industry (unless we start getting into the realm of the illegal). I can't imagine a 2011 version of this story where we put a Snookie like character in for Debbie and another young, empty headed Hollywood body in for Danny. They won't be believable, they won't be likable and the movie will fall on it's face.About last night is a great movie on many levels... It's nostalgic, it's sentimental, it's pretty funny and relatively realistic (especially in terms of the psychology of it's characters). It drags you through the mud but lets you feel clean at the end. Does it use clichéd 1980's sequences? Yes it does! You just have to wallow in them a little.

Demi Moore plays Debbie, the ad exec in loveless relationship with her boss. Rob Lowe plays Danny, a restaurant supplier in a loveless relationship with....well anyone really.The two meet in a bar after a baseball game and one thing leads to another and they jump into the sack with each other that very night. A casual sex relationship develops between the two for a few weeks until they decide to move in together, but that's when their problems really start.James Belushi & Elizabeth Perkins plays Bernie & Joan, Danny & Debbie's best friends respectively. Belushi is a sexist, misogynist pig and Elizabeth Perkins is an uptight, feminist, man hater. Both think that Danny & Debbie are making a huge mistake and with such conflicting viewpoints, they despise each other but Bernie is Danny's confidant and likewise Joan is Debbie's. They both have separate agenda's to split them up but set about it from very different angles.However, their input is not really needed as it soon becomes apparent to both Danny & Debbie that basing a relationship purely on great sex is no basis at all and that the resulting peer pressure is just the straw being placed atop of the proverbial camel's back.About Last Night is generally pigeonholed as a comedy, but is more correctly a romantic drama with some comic moments attached. Moore & Lowe play their parts really well as the two confused twenty somethings playing house, but it's the scenes that Belushi & Perkins appear in, especially together, that really make the movie a must watch.About Last Night will please the guys because Demi gets her kit off regularly and it will please the girls because not only is it the one of the best '80's chick flicks but Rob gets his kit off too. It also has a great soundtrack to boot.It's about men, women, choices, sex, ambition, moving in, no sex, risk, underwear, friendship, career moves, strategy, commitment, love, fun, breaking up, making up, bedtime, last night...Enjoy!!!
