Amazon.co.uk Review
For better or worse, David Mamet's hit play Sexual Perversity in Chicago is watered down into this romantic comedy about a couple (played by Rob Lowe and Demi Moore) who get together and then fall apart due to Lowe's character's inability to commit. Jim Belushi is on hand as the gratuitously swinish best friend who looks at women as meat, and Elizabeth Perkins is entertainingly arch as Moore's gal pal and Belushi's nemesis. There is nothing about this 1986 film by Edward Zwick (co-creator of TV's thirtysomething and director of Glory and Courage Under Fire) that is at all reminiscent of Mamet, but that doesn't make it bad or dull. While one can feel the script straining to fill in gaps where chunks of the original play have disappeared, Zwick often successfully tells the story without words at all, relying on the actors to convey pure emotion. Lowe is good, and the then-willowy Moore's understated performance reminds one of the actress she might have been before she became a spectacle. --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars An fun, cheeky film with some outstanding acting displayed, 9 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: About Last Night [VHS] [1986] (VHS Tape)
'About last night . . . ' is a mix of sport, love and friendship; a combination which, obviously, leads to complication. Pretty boy Danny (Rob Lowe) and looker Debbie (Demi Moore) have a brief meeting in a Chicago hangout which leads to a deply passionate night which both are willing to forget. But neither can forget or resist the magnetic attraction between them. This unlikely relationship develops and Debbie moves in with Dan leaving her faithful flatmate stranded. Can the strength of their love adapt these free spirits to coupledom? Or will the pressure of feelings and friends prove too much? Superb acting from Lowe and Moore changes 'About last night . . .' from an amusing film with a passable plot to an unforgettable movie which should not be missed. So return to the jazzy 80s; fluffy hair, bold patterns, all night parties and . . . 'About last night . . .'

5.0 out of 5 stars 80's Vehicle For Two Brat Packers..., 3 Dec 2004
By A Customer
Maybe, but not quite.

This was made just after the peak of brat pack mania and it shows. Both stars have matured (acting wise) and they shine.

Frankly neither have looked so gorgeous since either, James Belushi steals the show however with his hilarious but truly sexist ramblings. The constant conflict with Elizabeth Perkins and Mr Belushi are also thoroughly watchable.

All in all a very worthy adult comedy about love and regret.
