Synopsis

Faye Hanlon is a community-college professor with an emotionally depressed husband and an abundance of sexual frustration. Her sister drags her to a male strip-club for a girls-night out, where she discovers that one of the dancers is her failing student Rick Monroe, a.k.a. "Ricky the Rocket". A heated affair between teacher & student ensues, as Faye struggles to reconcile her emotions and make consequential life choices: Continue her lustful sessions with the studly-but-shallow teen stripper? Or break it off with Ricky & work to salvage her marriage to the loving-but-distant husband?

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Jennifer Clapton How could this have gotten such a low rating? (Keep in mind I love cheesy 70's/80's flicks) It's a sexy movie but it's far from trashy. It's got real emotions running through the entire movie mostly thanks to Leslie Anne Warren. I can't get over how she doesn't have any lips though. You don't see that nowadays thanks to collagen. Please understand, I am not praising collagen injections, they're obnoxious. That was sarcasm.Her character is such a prude it's annoying. She's just adorable when she gets dressed up in that little red dress so it leaves me to wonder why any woman would choose to go around looking as plain as she did through most of this movie.Christopher Atkins is too adorable in this movie. How could any woman not crush on that kid, married or not. He's irresistible. His strip tease was really sexy. I would like to personally thank the choreographer for keeping his dance number "manly" and most of all for not putting him in a thong, that would have killed it. Word of advice guys, that is not sexy on ANY man, not even on Tatum Channing (drool). I have loved this movie since I was a kid. Atkin's strip tease surely is A Night in Heaven.
bkoganbing 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.
noncentz Heavenly, this film is not, but I must admit that it is one of my guilty pleasures.The story centers on a community college speech teacher (Warren) with a recently laid-off husband. Her wild sister drags her to a male strip club one night where she discovers that her lazy student (Atkins) is the star attraction. Wouldn't you know it, eventually the teacher is getting private lessons from the student. It's really about temptation and devotion and the fight between the two.While the plot and styles are incredibly dated, thee are some things to recommend about this film. Warren gives a strong performance, doing as much with the material as she can. Her transition from constricted and conflicted wife to released vixen is convincing. Her frustrated husband, Logan, also does a fine job. Atkins is Atkins and does nothing more than offer lingering stares and lots of skin.What makes this film a guilty pleasure is the good use of Bryan Adams' music and one of the more erotic love scenes ever filmed with someone of Warren's stature (this was around the time she blew audiences away with her Oscar-nominated performance in Victor/Victoria). If you never thought of Warren as a sexual dynamo, stick around. Some cuts of the love scene contain a shot of Atkin's manhood, which shocked me even back then.There are some dramatic elements involving the husband and his frustrations, as well as Warren's inner conflicts, but the film is far too short to go into these too deeply.It's not a good film by any means but I do think it tried to be something more than the trash it was. Perhaps some of the plot ended up on the dance-room floor.
hawncub17 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"
