Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
vincentlynch-moonoi Kevin Hart is a hoot. Michael Ealy is a fine actor (but is he becoming anorexic?). But this film is seriously uneven.First, I would suggest that the director take a Valium! The first third of the film was hyperactive to the point where I almost shut if off several times. Then, in the middle of the movie, when the story actually got into relationships, it got more interesting. And in the last third of the movie got nearly sentimental...and showed a little heart.A big thing for me in a film is whether or not I can like the characters. At least in this film, I couldn't get into Regina Hall's character at all. Kevin Hart's character -- in small doses. I fared better with the other romantic team. Joy Bryant's character was very likable, despite pushing the relationship too hard. And Michael Ealy's character was likable, despite being not ready for a relationship.The plot is pretty standard. Boy meets girl (although in this case it was 2 boys meet two girls). Boys and girls fall into relationships (although very different types of relationships). Boys and girls fall out of their relationships and are sad. Boys and girls patch things up and love blooms. They all live happily ever after. Been there, done that, but the journey getting there is (after the first third of the film) rather enjoyable.It was pretty good...one time.
The-Plague I generally do not enjoy remakes, especially if it is a remake of a movie that was done right the first time. In my opinion if something is done right, why do it a second time? Do you make dinner, take a bite, bask in its deliciousness, then make another dinner? I don't know about you, but I sure do not. Anyway, I digress. 'About Last Night' which is a remake of a 1986 movie of the same name is one of the handful of exceptions to my remake indifference, and a pretty entertaining movie.Anyone who is a fan of Kevin Hart will appreciate his acting in this movie, one because he doesn't seem to be acting at all, and two, he won't shut up…but honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. The dialogue in the movie is definitely its strength. Aside from the four main characters I was pretty indifferent to the rest of the cast, excluding some minor moments with Joe Lo Truglio (Wet Hot American Summer) and Christopher McDonald (Shooter!). Each couple is unique in their own way, one cute and passionate, the other well…angry and sex obsessed, but they both work for different reasons.The main focus of the movie is making that leap from a one night stand to a relationship. It's 2014, just because two people are having sex, it does not make them a couple. So how do you know when a one night stand reaches fu..uh fun buddy status, or if you are in a relationship? It is all mental. To be in a relationship you have to be mentally ready to commit to someone else, which is what the couples in the movie struggle with for an hour and forty minutes. Does it become predictable? Of course it does, there are no new themes in writing, but did I get bored? No. I think that a good romantic comedy keeps your attention even though it is evident what will happen in the movie. In 'Romeo and Juliet' Shakespeare tells us what is going to happen on the first page, but we keep reading, and I assure you that movies are no different than books.
witherspoon28 This movie re-make was extremely disappointing. I'd been waiting to see this DVD for the last three months and I was really looking forward to it. I saw the '80s version with Demi Moore and Rob Lowe and I really enjoyed it. It is not a classic or even a cult film by any means, but it was entertaining and the acting was believable.This remake was horrible - the acting was flat with the exception of Regina Hall and even so, she was a little over the top as Joan. Kevin Hart was screechy (like Chris Tucker) and seemed to be doing a comedy stand-up routine throughout the movie rather than really getting into his character. Joy Bryant seemed to have phoned in her part and was by far the dullest character in the movie. The dog, Pacino, was more exciting than this Debbie. I've been a fan of Michael Ealy's for years, and I was taken by surprise that he didn't do more with his role. His relationship with Debbie was one-dimensional and there didn't seem to be any chemistry between Danny and Debbie at all. I didn't really care whether or not they got back together because it never seemed as if they had a relationship to begin with.
capone666 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
