Fantastic!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

About Last Night is a very unique romantic comedy. And for a genre that's practically built around clichés, that's really saying something. It intertwines the romance and the comedy from different angles by showing two couples, both with polar opposite relationship dynamics. There are essentially four leads in this movie and they're all excellent, especially Hart and Hall. They're an absolute riot together. You can tell some of the stuff is improvised and they bounce off each other incredibly well, and you actually believe that these characters can fall in love. The "normal" couple has the more romantic story, and sadly they're not nearly as fun as the crazy couple, but that's kind of the point. There are some heartfelt moments in there, and the witty writing helps a lot. Some plot lines in the movie are predictable, some are filler, but the movie as a whole is diverse and totally engaging. It's structured in a way that it jumps from season to season, showing the peaks and valleys of the two relationships and how the friendships between all four characters are affected by it. There is seldom a dull moment in About Last Night, and you can't say that about many romcoms.What elevates this movie in particular, though, is Kevin Hart. He's absolutely hysterical. I would watch a full two hour movie of just his character, he's that good. This is more proof that Hart is a comedy genius (and this is coming from someone who doesn't care much for his standup); he just needs the right vehicle to showcase it completely. Here, he just isn't in it enough. I mean, he's in it a lot, but he's just so damn good you can't get enough. His chemistry with everyone is great, and it doesn't even feel like he's acting. Not to say the other actors aren't as good - they're great - but Hart (and his relationship with Hall) basically steals the movie.About Last Night isn't the be all end all of romantic comedies, but it's different enough to separate it from the pack. It handles both the romance and the comedy with finesse (and plenty of vulgarity), and it features Kevin Hart unleashed. If you're a fan of his, this is a must-watch.

Honestly, I'm disappointed. Steve Pink has directed some much funnier comedies in the past (Accepted, Hot Tub Time Machine). I think the problem is that he's just not cut out to direct the serious stuff. The first 20-30 minutes of the movie are the funniest, and the strongest. After that, the film drags and drags. Clearly there are two couples, and Ealy and Bryant's relationship takes the dramatic turn, while Hart and Hall are funny.Ealy and Bryant are too melodramatic to make the dull material work, and Hart and Hall are oddly slapstick next to them. Do men really talk to women the way Kevin Hart's character does? Or is he an exaggerated version to be funny? He borders on obnoxious.If you make it to the end, which I suppose most of you will, do you even care if the couples stay together or break up? In many ways, the film makes a stronger case for these couples not being together. I suppose, the one thing the movie does well is define itself as not being a black movie. I know what you're thinking… the four leads are all black, it must be a black movie. It's not. I don't recall a moment in the film where they ever discuss being black, or the struggle of being black, or anything related to the color of their skin.The film is a romantic comedy, where the leads happen to be black. Most films like this end up being "black movies", because of jokes that resonate more with a black audience, or jokes about the culture, etc. About Last Night avoids all of that, amazingly.You won't get past the fact that the film drags, the acting isn't great, and you'll end up not caring about the end result. I'm behind on reviewing this, it's already on DVD, and that's a good thing. This would have been a definite skip for theatres, but is less offensive when you only spend a dollar or two on it.

"Why do we have to do what everyone else does?" Bernie (Hart) and Danny (Ealy) are best friends. While at a bar one night Bernie begins to tell him about the amazing woman he met. When she shows up to meet them she brings a friend and Danny and her hit it off. The relationship quickly grows but the two find it harder then they expected. First of all I have to say the the movie is funny and I did like it but it was also pretty much what I expected. The comedy is there even though Kevin Hart can get a little annoying sometimes. The story is good and keeps you interested even though 10 minutes in you can pretty much guess how the rest of the movie is gonna go. I have never seen the original so I can't compare the two but after seeing this I would like to watch the 80's one. This is really a movie that there isn't much to say about because it's pretty fluffy and generic. This is a pretty good date night movie and I'm glad I watched it but it's really only a one time watch. Overall, worth seeing once but it's nothing more then a cookie cutter love story with an ending you can see coming a mile away. I give this a B.

About Last NightThe best part of a one-night stand is you don't have to leave money on the dresser.But if you stick around like the guys in this rom-com, you end up paying.Bernie (Kevin Hart) tells Danny (Michael Ealy) his experience with a girl he met at the club last night.Joan (Regina Hall) dishes to Debbie (Joy Bryant) about her experience with this guy she met at the club last night.When all four meet up for drinks, Debbie and Danny hit it off and sleep together.That one-night stand turns into co-habitation. But when the constraints of relationship begin to tighten around Danny, he flinches.An updated version of the 1986 original, this remake is remarkably funny. Furthermore, in it's own distorted way it's an honest portrayal of dating.Plus, when you meet someone at a club, you know instantly that you both like paying for overpriced drinks. Yellow Light
