Review of About Last Night (2014) by Thegodfatherson — 14 Feb 2014
About Last Night lumbers at points, when the drama steers too far away from its vibrant, character pairings. Paula Patton appears briefly as Alison, who hopes to seduce Danny into her web. It's a silly detour that would feel more like a cameo if Patton didn't play drunk the entire time.
But it's a rare misstep for the movie, which manages to remain low-key and uproarious from start to finish. But, About Last Night is a welcome change of pace for the romantic comedy genre, an update of the Mamet play where people are allowed to communicate frankly and realistically.
It also offers plenty of laughs, thanks to cast members Kevin Hart and Regina Hall.
