Review of About Last Night (2014) by Lilia M — 28 Jul 2014

This movie had very good dry humor but despite the fact that It made me chuckle a few times; I felt that there was a lack of comedy throughout the entire film. There were times when I questioned the plot and who the main characters actually were.

The overall theme seemed like a re-run of every bad drama you've ever seen with the smallest issues made to seem like a big plot line. It felt like the flick tried to be its own version of 500 days of summer, only difference was the fact that it was all in chronological order.

I sat and watched it waiting for the mood to shift or pick up just a tad bit but everything was very bland and predictable. I had a tough time believing that this movie had even managed to snag as much of an audience as it has.

I usually enjoy these sorts of films but there just wasn't enough of a plot or humor for me to really think anything of this movie, except that it was a waste of my time. I honestly wish I could pick out scenes that I genuinely enjoyed and save them for a different film because it's a shame to see them wasted in this.

When I was checking out the trailer it seemed entertaining and fresh but it seems like most of the funny moments, (and the entire beginning,) of the movie were packed in there, not to mention the fact that at times it felt like the movie was moving just as fast as the trailer, It really seemed a bit rushed.

It feels harsh but I truly didn't find a strand of interest in this film despite loving the characters and certain parts. I wouldn't recommend the movie, it was a letdown and I was left disappointed.
