SnoopyStyle Bernie (Kevin Hart) tells his best friend Danny (Michael Ealy) about last night with Joan (Regina Hall). She's also telling her roommate Debbie (Joy Bryant). They go out on a double date. Bernie and Joan are the wild ones. Danny and Debbie are jaded from all the bad relationships. They hook up anyways and despite reservations, they fall into a relationship.Kevin Hart and Regina Hall are hilarious together. Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant are a bit bland together. Their romance is rather boring. So the movie is half good. It's lot of fun to have Hart and Hall have their all out fights. I just wish that Ealy has some more energy to pump up his relationship. The sidekicks are better than the leads.

Desertman84 About Last Night is a romantic comedy that was based on David Mament's play "Sexual Perversity In Chicago" and it is a remake of the 1986 film with the same title.It features African-American cast that includes Kevin Hart,Regina Hall,Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant. The screenplay features two couples - Bernie and Joan & Danny and Debbie - as it showcases the progress of their relationship from meeting in the bar into becoming engaged in a serious relationship. The film examines the problems,trials and difficulties of the lovers in various aspects of their romance that also includes their sex lives that involves minorities in the United States.While the cast can be engaging in some scenes,I felt that the movie tried so hard to be funny that results the comedic scenes to be over-the-top.The squabbles of Bernie and Joan gets irritating as the movie progresses.Too bad that Kevin Hart and Regina Hall overact most of the time and their raunchiness can be a huge turn off for a lot of viewers.Another reason not to really like this movie is the lack of story telling as the couples mainly go through endless conversations with not so much going on in the story.Too bad that it could have been a better film if it tries to address what contemporary romances are all about with better story telling rather than just conversations filled with raunchy humor.Only viewers who love these type of comedy would probably be entertained with it.

aeLLnisba32 This film is a remake of the old 1986 movie with the same title featuring a all white cast. This 2014,"About Last Night" remake has all black actors in the major roles and is very funny. Why? All dues go out to Regina Hall and Kevin Hart. Their chemistry is phenomenal. You can even tell whenever they go off on a ad-lib rant because the movie just gets better. Regina Hall of the "Scary movie," venues is such a good comedic actress and at nearly 40 years of age she still looks like she is in her twenties. I actually think the movie would have been better if Hall and Hart had been the only couple on the screen. They had the best written parts in the movie...which is not saying much. I never saw the 1986 movie, but I assume their writer's had the same trouble writing a realistic comedy about a one night stand. "Sex," and "Love" are such complex topics; only a few movies have been successful at adequately portraying what really happens when two blacks try to find love. I recommend the movie only because of the comedic performances by Regina Hall and Kevin Hart...and that is the only reason to see this retread.

Amari-Sali In Kevin Hart's 2nd feature of the year, he reunited with Michael Ealy and Regina Hall to bring us a remake to a film that I honestly never saw. But, with Kevin Hart being somewhat consistent since he came out, I figured this would be a good film. However, despite my love for his work in Ride Along, I am beginning to think Kevin Hart fatigue is oncoming.Characters & StoryBernie (Kevin Hart) & Danny (Michael Ealy) are co-workers and best friends who end up dating Joan (Regina Hall) and her roommate/ friend Debbie (Joy Bryant) respectively. Bernie is Kevin Hart as he is in most of his movies, but vulgar, and Joan is similar to Hall's character Brenda Meeks, but a little more off balance. Together, they make for a dysfunctional couple who bring the majority of the laughs to the film.On the other end, you have Danny and Debbie, who both present almost an entirely different movie. Their story is much more traditional romance and has the usual rise, screw up/ break up, and then an odd method of getting back together. As for the characters themselves, complete opposites of Bernie and Joan. Danny is pretty much a smooth type of brother, and Debbie is pretty much fits what a college sweetheart would be.Altogether, the film feels like it presents two different type of love stories and tries to string them both together the best it can.PraiseIn all honesty, most of the praise for this film, to me, goes to Ealy and Bryant. Mind you, Hart and Hall are funny, and got me laughing about 22 or so times, about half of what Ride Along got, but their bickering is pretty much where most of that 22 count came from. Hart gets as nasty as possible when it comes to his comedy, and Hall throws it right back in his face. And, as the story summary said, they're highly dysfunctional, yet they seem almost more realistic than their counterparts in Ealy and Bryant at times.Going back to Ealy and Bryant, though their romance is very storybook, their chemistry and the way they play with one another in the film, really made me want to take notes, outside of what went on in the movie. Also, I think, even if you cut Hart and Hall, their relationship alone was compelling enough to stand on its own two legs. I mean, it has all the appeal of a, for the lack of a better term, urban romance novel, a la something out the Kimani Romance collection (I personally recommend Kim Shaw).CriticismBut, while it had its laughs, and a decent romance, I must admit I felt like neither Hall and Regina's characters, nor Ealy and Bryant's, got that developed. Not to say they were shallow, but between Danny's character speaking of a dream he had, without specifics, talking about a dad who screwed someone over, but we are never told how, and then him and Debbie getting back together, after she pretty much shut him out, it made it seem like their story was secondary to making sure Hart had enough screen time to make his audience happy. And the sad thing is, despite Hart being funny in the film, I do feel he needs a new shtick. Like Will Ferrell, and many other comedians out there, he is starting to seem like he is only capable of playing one type of persona, which has minor adjustments to the characters personality. And, to me, his "Big Little Man" routine is starting to get old. Plus, considering he has one more film this year, and TV shows in the works, outside of Real Husbands of Hollywood, I think he definitely needs something to show he is more than a one note actor trying to get all he can why the fire is hot.Overall: TV ViewingAll in all, I felt a bit disappointed when I walked out the theater. Not because it wasn't as funny as I hoped, or as romantic as I thought it could have been, but just because it just didn't seem like it was made to do anything but give you something to do for an hour and a half. Which there isn't anything wrong with, but considering this is a remake, much less the fact we will be drowning in Kevin Hart material, it just makes me wonder why there wasn't an effort to really make it so it had some real emotional depth, and not so easily capable of writing off. Which is which I say it is worth waiting until it comes out on TV. It isn't that hilarious, or makes you swoon to the point it is worth spending money on immediately. Especially because it is quite forgettable.
