Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Writers DeClue and Kazurinsky have created a recognizable geography for every age; you suspect that About Last Night will set off pangs of identification everywhere.

rotten:
Homework assignment: Is the decision to change both the title and the thrust of Mamet's play evidence of perversity or of perversion? Due tomorrow. Class dismissed.
– Carrie Rickey,

rotten:
The shocks of recognition are largely absorbed by the standard narrative structure that replaces Mamet's blackouts; the characters, instead of functioning as archetypes, look underwritten, half alive.

fresh:
This is the yuppie drama that St. Elmo`s Fire wanted to be but wasn't.

rotten:
Film lacks much of Mamet's grittiness, but is likable in its own right.
