Good start, but then it gets ruined

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I knew a guy in the late 80's who was a very successful womanizer. As a part of his regular modus operandi for seduction, he would invite his date back to his apartment after dinner, open a bottle of wine and pop "About Last Night" in the VCR. It was evidently the perfect aphrodisiac. But lust would be virtually the only reason I could imagine any guy could sit through this a dozen times or so. Rob and Demi really get annoying rather quickly in this. Jim Belushi and Elizabeth Perkins, playing their best friends, seem as irritated with this relationship as most of us are and deliver the best lines and performances in the film and without them this picture would absolutely bomb. Watching it again, some 30 years after it was released it does have some value as a time capsule of the period, especially having lived in Chicago during the late 70's and partaking occasionally in single bar scene in the Rush & Division Street area.

About Last Night is a romantic dramedy film that was directed by Edward Zwick.It features Rob Lowe and Demi Moore as Chicago yuppies who enter a committed relationship for the first time.The cast also includes Elizabeth Perkins and James Belushi as friends of the couple. The film is based on the 1974 David Mamet play Sexual Perversity in Chicago. Danny and Bernie are two single men who live in Chicago. When Danny meets Debbie at a bar in the Chicago Gold Coast, the two start a relationship from a one-night stand. The film follows the couple for the first year of their relationship: their meeting after a softball game, her moving in with him, mutual friction at Thanksgiving, their breakup on New Year's Eve, his apology and declaration of love on St. Patrick's Day, and their reconciliation at a softball game.In the end,the experience problems with commitment after their first time sleeping together. They find that the influence of their friends hinders them and eventually decide that they have nothing in common.The movie was definitely engaging as Demi Moore and Rob Lowe have great chemistry and provided great performances as the couple with the former avoiding to get used in a relationship and the latter now wanting to get serious in a relationship.Added to that,it was a film that tackles relationships in real life and with real people.There was nothing pretentious about it especially when exploring the positive and the negative aspects of romance.Overall,it remains a relevant movie about love after many years of its theatrical release.

Rob Lowe and Demi Moore play a couple who try to make a one night stand into a relationship in the very true to life movie. It explores all the ups and downs of trying to make a relationship work as well as all the doubts and worries if this is the right person etc. James Belushi and Elizabeth McGovern play the role of best friend to Lowe's Danny and Moore's Debbie magnificently. They banter back and forth between each other but you can tell there is a chemistry there between them as well, perhaps even more so than with Danny and Debbie. The movie features Rob Lowe and Demi Moore at their most attractiveness too. They are both very easy on the eyes in this film but yet they still seem down to earth. It is definitely a movie for adults though. It has one of the best nude/sex scenes in my opinion with Demi Moore before her implants. Overall, About Last Night is a perfect date movie for grown ups.

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!!!
