This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A Night In Heaven rates right up there as one of the trashiest films ever made. But Christopher Atkins is so goldarn sexy in this I have to say that this film is a guilty pleasure of mine.The Blue Lagoon Boy with no curls any longer plays a trailer park kid who is the main attraction at a male strip club named Heaven located in Titusville near Cape Canaveral. He's also going to community college where Professor Lesley Anne Warren flunks him in her Speech class. At the same time Warren is not getting any attention from husband Robert Logan and she's frustrated.On a girl's night out, she takes one look at Atkins and Atkins sees the look Warren is giving him and the results are inevitable. I think you can figure where this is going, it doesn't take a genius. But the climax I will say rates high in the ludicrous cinema department.Interestingly enough while Christopher Atkins won the Razzie Award for worst actor, A Night In Heaven wasn't nominated for Worst Picture. It was probably unfair to Chris since all he was asked to do was look sexy and be seductive. He succeeded admirably on both counts. I suppose the Razzies are as inscrutable as the Oscars.But if your taste runs to trashy movies, don't let this one get by.

I saw this when I was young, and never really got it until I was 30 something. The writer really identifies with the conflict someone the lead female feels at this age. How lonely and stagnant marriage can be, the urges and desires you can feel you missed out on when younger. Great soundtrack by Jan Hammer and Bryan Adams. Every time I see this film I cry because I can really identify with every woman in this film, from Slick, Patsy, Faye, and even Rick's mom. I have yet to see a film that encaptures everything a woman can be...housewife, vixen, mother, sister...etc. I have been with one person for 8 years and will ALWAYS look for my "Night in Heaven" PS LOVE the way Atkins nibbles on his cookie while looking at Warren!

I know that a lot of people who write reviews always try to find some deeper meaning and/or raised consciousness from the silver screen. However, some movies appeal to nothing more than our base instincts.In this case, there is not a guy reading this that hasn't fantasized about a good looking teacher. On the other hand, there probably are no female teachers who did not find a single young man as attractive, appealing, and worthy of a few fantasies herself.That's all this movie represents. I think that's all it ever meant to be. I enjoyed it - but then again I think Lesley-Ann Warren is hot!

I do agree that "A Night In Heaven" should have been re-titled "A Night in Hell" but look at the story. Atkins is a student by day and stripper by night. At least he has a job to pay & support his education. Though it may not be the right venue to go with. And add into the mix actress Lesley Anne-Warren who plays one of Atkins teacher from school? And when Warren happens to drop by at Atkins place of employment and happens to watch him while he performs....Mmmmmm Action, Affair!!!! By the way, Warren is happily married that equals the sleazy fun of "A Night In Heaven"
