| I absolutley love this film. Rob Lowe and Demi Moore connect well, even though Rob's acting talents are not quite up to par. Who cares anyway, the ladies are too busy drooling over his face. Jim Belushi is awesome as a jealous best friend just wishing he had a bit of Danny's,(Lowe's),luck. Filmed throughout the beautiful city of Chicago, giving any single person a reason to move there. Anyone who dated in the mid-eighties can relate to this film. Some of Belushi's quotes are so damn funny, I can't print them here without being censored. Great soundtrack also. Very very funny film, also looks great on dvd, exspecially the softball scenes. If you can remember the first time you moved in with a new love, this hits home and brings back memories. Infactuation, lust maybe first, but soon your home life changes, its up to you if your are fine with the changes. Down to earth film showing the turmoils and tribulations of living together, honest fun. "I'm going home, make some macaroni and cheese, seel the windows and turn up the gas." classic Belushi |

| Though most will agree this is a predictable love story of a one night stand turned serious, there are so many reasons to love this 1980's date movie. Let's start with the cast: Rob Lowe, cute as ever, is perfectly cast as playboy, Danny. His sidekick, the HILARIOUS Jim Belushi, plays the boorish best friend, always ready with a belch, cuss word and a smile. Demi Moore, though not the greatest actress of all time, plays these types of characters quiet well. She gives the character of Debbie a depth of emotion and sensitivity that all women can relate to. Elizabeth Perkins (He Said-She Said and BIG) is wonderfully sarcastic and endearing as Debbie's best friend, Joan, albeit a jealous one who seeks her own love and affection in the strangest of unattainable partners.
Next you'll love the dialog. If you came of age in the '80's you will feel your heartstrings being pulled in this film. In one poignant scene, just moments after ringing in the New Year at Mother's Bar, Rob admits to Debbie that, "I don't love you anymore..." and expresses raw feelings which alone can punch you in the chest like an iron fist, even if you have never heard those words spoken to you in a relationship.
Lots of foul language, explicit sexual conversations, nudity, steamy sex, and so on, but nothing you haven't seen before.
Last but not least, this movie has LOADS of great songs that truly match the tone of the scenes, especially those by Bob Seger, John Waite, Jermaine Jackson, and Sheena Easton. Pick up the soundtrack, you'll love every moment of it.
You will laugh, cry, and probably totally relate. Enjoy! |

| My VCR Tape of this movie was wearing out so I decided to look for a DVD. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many persons had taken the time to write a review of it. I was totally captivated by this movie when I first saw it in the theater. I have never read or seen the original play, but I was immediately struck by the similarity to "It Happened One Night" staring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert from 1934. Not only in the basic script premises of "boy and girl get together and so on," but also by the technical excellence of both films. "About Last Night" is very well directed by a very good director. It is very well acted by Rob Lowe and Demi Moore. Unfortunately where Gable and Colbert went on the get better and better, Lowe and Moore went merely become self-obsessed and self destructive. However that does not take anything away for a couple of excellent acting jobs in this film. Jim Belushi and Elizabeth Perkins are superb, and there is no movie without their excellent acting. The sound track is also excellent; it knits the popular music into the visual until you cannon imagine either one without the other. And of course, Chicago in a very photogenic city. I was a college student there in the late `60s and early `70s. It was fascinating to see how little things had changed, both visually and socially. I played ball on those same Lake Shore Drive fields and drank in those same Rush Street and Clark Street bars and learned a lot about life the hard way. This is a very pretty film, and I love it. |
