However, Danny and Debbie both feel the pull of undeniable attraction, and they end up spending the first of several nights together. The two try to make a success of being a couple despite warnings from Bernie and Joan (Regina Hall), Debbie's best friend. Meanwhile, Bernie and Joan experience some chemistry of their own.
About Last Night

What to Know

Critics Consensus

About Last Night wanders even further from the David Mamet play that inspired the original, but it benefits from an engaging cast and a screenplay that smartly balances romance and comedy.

When your intention was always to use the cookie cutter, why bother nodding the head towards any largely imagined inspiration? Go to Full Review

A date movie that could have been written by entertainment software, and quite divorced from real human beings and their experiences of sex. Go to Full Review

The film's limp and bedraggled. No one looks good in it. You wonder if Mamet would even recognise what he once wrote. Go to Full Review

Frisky and a little freaky, but not as funny or insightful as it thinks it is. Go to Full Review

It's a credit to Hart as an actor that amidst it all he doesn't lose the soul of Bernie. Go to Full Review

Draco R Jul 27, 2018 The combustible comedic chemistry of Hall and Hart bring so much life to this otherwise formulaic narrative-an adaptation of an adaptation-that the movie feels fresh even while being wholly predictable. But if Hall and Hart steal every scene they are in, that's not to diminish the rest of the cast: The characters may be wholly unsurprising, but they are nonetheless treated with nuance, depth, and vitality. In fact, one reason that Hall and Hart are so compelling is because they are so outrageous, so clearly unreal, while Bryant and Ealy are (at least for me) as recognizable as my own (and my wife's) reflection.

Luke P Nov 17, 2017 we need a sequel next year.
Leia R Nov 13, 2017 Really great, lots of laughs, great cast.
Leia W Jan 19, 2017 Romantic comedy gets real, not sappy without .... Really funny for all the wrong reasons. Kevin Hart and Regina Hall are comic genius. Michael Ealy is the ultimate confused nice guy done wrong and Joy Bryant is....every woman looking for Mr. Right. They get it wrong at first because they both misread the situation. Both couples are perfect examples of the harsh realities of dating. The ones built on hate to love you and love to hate you. See the movie and try to figure out which couple fits the profiles. The point, don't force the fit. If you let it happen, all of it happen meaning the gray sex the love and hate, eventually evolution will happen. At the end you will be together romantic or a true friend who really knows you at your best and worst. It can be a win win. If you let it. Most importantly, Kevin Hart and Regina Hall show us all how it's done in less than two hours which is nothing short of comic genius. Kevin Hart has met his comic match in Regina Hall. Ms. Hall is tittering on greatness like Taraji Henson did for a bit. Her breakout roll is coming. She is wonderfully real and sharply funny. Hall and Hart are magical together and soooooo much fun to watch. Together they push each other to the limit, fearlessly exploring it all and bouncing up and off each other natural instincts. As for the more conventional, romantic couple, Ealy and Bryant are charming and beautiful. They are the straight man and woman but they hit all the buttons of everything right going wrong. They, like most couples, do and say everything right which is why they fail, at first. Funny romance, romantically funny. Romantic comedy that men will watch and laugh, in spite of themselves. The chicken(cluck and f@&k)and thanksgiving scenes are inspired. See more
Rey S Sep 10, 2015 7/10 Sweet, somewhat funny, a bit naive, just about a usual rom-com.
Hermione S Mar 13, 2014 This movie is funny and hearfelt. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great supporting cast who brought the comedy big time and saved this movie from being just average. See more
