a lovely film. not only charming love story or inspired portrait of ordinary social relations but just a nice, seductive film , with a beautiful dose of realism and good humour. a film about the way to be happy, against yours fears, friends advises, not the best appearances, errors and expectations. or the result of a too happy night. against all the forms of prudence about it, the air of "80 s is the right cure against the perspectives about present. because the film becomes, scene by scene, a kind of prophecy. about every day problems, about crisis and insecure decisions, about the other as challenge. and the solutions proposed are not bad.

I missed this one when it was first released 28 years ago and didn't expect much from a movie that I thought only involved adolescent love and sex. Well, after seeing it, I came to a different conclusion because the movie was an honest story of a young couple (played by Rob Lowe and Demi Moore) who fall in love and decide to live together but cannot make the relationship work. Maybe it was the fact that they made an effort to admit they really cared for each other and tried to get past their youthful egos after the relationship first fell apart. They also tried to work things out with their their best friends who wanted to foil them from being together, in part because the friends (James Belushi and Elizabeth Perkins) did not want to lose them. Lowe and Moore also show the loneliness of life following their relationship as they go to bars making futile efforts to find someone compatible. The script and acting was generally good, particularly Belushi whose character is typical of many young men who like their buddies and pretend to know how to snare women without getting involved with them. Belushi also delivered the best humour. I liked the location of Chicago with the skyscrapers, the elevated trains and the waterfront. it is still a good movie about life in the 1980's as two young people try to make the transition from bachelor life to a successful loving relationship.

I heard that this movie was going to be remade this year (2011)... This is yet another example that Hollywood has become bereft of original thoughts. About last night really only works as a period piece of the 1980's (I know it was adapted from a play in the 1970's but the decades weren't that different). If you put to modern a spin on it, it'll lose all it meaning and wind up a parody of itself. There are simply no modern taboo's left to explore in the film industry (unless we start getting into the realm of the illegal). I can't imagine a 2011 version of this story where we put a Snookie like character in for Debbie and another young, empty headed Hollywood body in for Danny. They won't be believable, they won't be likable and the movie will fall on it's face.About last night is a great movie on many levels... It's nostalgic, it's sentimental, it's pretty funny and relatively realistic (especially in terms of the psychology of it's characters). It drags you through the mud but lets you feel clean at the end. Does it use clichéd 1980's sequences? Yes it does! You just have to wallow in them a little.
