Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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's nothing about this 1986 film by Edward Zwick (cocreator 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

5 out of 5 stars Better every time!.......2007-05-31

Having first viewed this film on the big screen and watched it again recently I am struck at how current this film remains. Although touted as a romantic comedy it also highlights the importance of following one's dream as the character Danny ultimately opens his own 'joint' and only then can he commit to the woman of his dreams. It is a must see for any single successful guy or any woman who wishes to glimpse ever so slightly into the single guy's mind.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!!.......2007-02-05

One of my absolute favorite movies from the 80's! I could watch it over and over, so cute and funny! The music is cute too.

5 out of 5 stars near and dear to my heart, one of my all time favorites.......2007-01-15

I absolutely love rob lowe in this movie. His boyish innocence lets me fall in love with him in this movie every time. Ahhhhh that smile. I can remember seeing this movie over twenty years ago, and watching it feels so good. Its a nice walk down memory lane. I recently saw this on tv, and remembered how much I really love this movie, so I decided to purchase the dvd so I can watch it anytime I want to take that walk down memory lane. This one will always be one of my favorites of all time, a truly great movie that shows the sometimes realistic side of being in love.

1 out of 5 stars Not happy at all - DVD not working properly although suppose to be new.......2006-08-28

Although I purchased a brand new DVD and expected it to be brand new I have to report that I am extremely unhappy as the DVD is not working properly and stalls frequently during the middle part of the movie.
I was really looking forward to the movie as it cannot be purchased in SOuth Africa and I have been searching for it for a long time and therefore decided to get it from overseas, purchasing it through Amazon but am now really unhappy and would like you to send me a replacement as soon as possible or refund the money I paid for it.

4 out of 5 stars About Last Night still holds water.......2006-08-26

I can't believe I've only just seen this movie for the first time. SUCH a realistic insight into first (real) love and what living together must be like. My favorite aspect was how it portrays the strain that being in a relationship puts on your friendships. I liked it even more than the John Hughes movies of that era because of it's realism-Hughes would sometimes sacrifice the truth for a joke. The only part I found unrealistic was the ending-too Hollywood, considering the rest of the movie had an independent film feel (hence the four stars rather than five).
Rob Lowe and a very flat-chested Demi Moore give spot-on performances. Elizabeth Perkins is hilarious as the best friend. Fantastic writing based on a Mamet Play. A must see. Definitely made me think twice about living with someone too early in a relationship.
