On paper, About Last Night is a third-generation copy of David Mamet's 1974 stage play Sexual Perversity in Chicago -- but if anything... it comes closer to Mamet's rancorous vision of dueling hormones than the '80s screen version did.
About Last Night
It's about compromise. It's about love. It's about a good wingman.

Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
While this version lacks the subtlety of the original, it delivers enough raunchy humor to be far more entertaining.
The 2014 model of About Last Night... it beefs up the girl-side element of the story, incorporates considerably more frank sex talk, and generally provides its cast with a lot more meat to chew on and spit back out.
Mostly, Hart aces his many showcase moments, not so much stealing the movie as occasionally letting the other actors possess it for a while.
Neither director Steve Pink nor screenwriter Leslye Headland put much effort into basic storytelling.
