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.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Cheryl
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

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.

A young man by the name of "Danny Martin" (Rob Lowe) and a young woman named "Debbie Sullivan" (Demi Moore) fall in love and decide to live together. However, Danny's best-friend "Bernie Litgo" (James Belushi) and Debbie's best-friend "Joan" (Elizabeth Perkins) don't like the new relationship because it directly impacts their personal life. So, both of them try to sabotage it on various occasions. Anyway, rather than detail the entire story and possibly spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a well-written romantic comedy which I thought was highly entertaining. In my opinion, while Rob Lowe's performance was excellent and Demi Moore was certainly cute, it was James Belushi who stole the show as the big lout who did his best to mentor Danny in the ways of the world. Quite hilarious. Having said that I should also probably mention that there is some sex, nudity and graphic language throughout and discretion is highly advised. Be that as it may, I liked this movie and I rate it as definitely above average.

In Chicago, the salesmen of restaurant supplies Danny Martin (Rob Lowe) and Bernie Litgo (James Belushi) are best friends and womanizers. One night, the handsome Danny meets Deborah 'Debbie' Sullivan (Demi Moore) in a bar and they have one night stand. Debbie works in an advertisement agency and lives with her roommate and best friend, the kindergarten teacher Joan Gunther (Elizabeth Perkins), and falls in love with Danny.The infatuated Debbie moves to Danny's apartment and they have great sex but very few conversation. Their closest friends Joan and Bernie frequently try to sabotage their relationship. Five months later, Danny breaks with her and the brokenhearted Debbie returns to Joan's apartment. Meanwhile Danny grows up and misses Debbie, but maybe it might be too late for reconciliation. "About Last Night
" is one of the best movies about love, sex and immature relationship from the 80's and one of my favorite films ever. The charming lead characters are wonderfully performed by Demi Moore and Rob Lowe that show a magnificent chemistry. The story is realistic and shows the difficulties of a young couple to live together, with four young central characters of twenty and something years old: Debbie is a young woman that has an affair with her boss and has a crush on Danny and wants a steady relationship. Danny is an insecure man frustrated with his work that does not want to have a commitment with Debbie. Bernie is chauvinist pig that sees women as sexual objects. And Joan is a frustrated woman that is constantly dumped by her boyfriends."About Last Night
" is a cult for people from my generation that certainly will find identification with the lead characters and their relationships. Last but not the least, Demi Moore is delightful to be seen in the 80's ("No Small Affair"; "St. Elmo's Fire" and "About Last Night"). My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Sobre Ontem a Noite
" ("About Last Night...")

About Last Night casts Rob Lowe and Demi Moore as a pair of 20 somethings living and working on the north side of Chicago. Rob is a salesperson for restaurant supplies and a pretty good one. But he lacks a college education and is reluctant to go back to school. He's also deathly afraid of commitment which means marriage and all that brings.But after he and Demi after a night's kanoodling which they agree is the best they each ever had, she moves in with him. The sex is fabulous, but can they learn to both like and tolerate each other?Each has a best friend that is working for mixed motives to sabotage the relationship. Lowe's best friend is Jim Belushi who's a cheerful hedonist and just doesn't want to lose his best friend and co-worker as a partner in debauchery. Demi's best friend is Elizabeth Perkins who just thinks Lowe is too good and too good looking to be true. She's been through the mill and does break up with a man during the film. She's concerned about Moore, but I think Perkins is a little jealous as well.About Last Night is taken from an off Broadway play by David Mamet who had more of a serious examination of human relations in mind than this brat pack film. Still as a brat pack film, it's pretty good and the location shooting in Chicago certainly helps. We even get to see some of the rooftop locations where one can see a ballgame in that most famous of north side landmarks, Wrigley Field.It might not be David Mamet's vision, but About Last Night is an all right film comedy from the Eighties. And no film that has Wrigley Field can ever be bad.
