About Last Night

Two attractive singles (Michael Ealy, Joy Bryant) get fixed up by their best friends (Kevin Hart, Regina Hall), and a one-night stand turns serious: love, move in, crisis, break up. Meanwhile, each huddles up periodically with his or her pal to puzzle over dealing with the opposite sex. Directed by Steve Pink and written by Leslye Headland, this remake of the 1986 Demi Moore and Rob Lowe movie (both loosely based on David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago) is a rueful Valentine candy box, blithely profane, but essentially sweet and very funny. Ealy and Bryant are appealing, though they mainly play straight-man to Hart and Hall. Hart's staccato schtick plays much better in a supporting role, and Hall matches him line for yammering line. They're hilarious: This could be the beginning of a great rom-com team.
