6/10
Kevin Hart and Regina Hall save the film
22 November 2014
Starring: Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall, Joy Bryant, Paula Patton, and Christopher McDonald

About Last Night 6.5/10- Funniest movie this year so far. Without a doubt, Kevin Hart and Regina Hall are the main reason for it too. Those two have such great chemistry as comedians together, its amazing. Regina Hall is honestly like the female Kevin Hart in this movie. The plot is very generic to be honest considering it is a romantic comedy but more on the extreme side on the comedy which is the perfect fit for Kevin Hart. There are a few things that could have been fixed about this film, but overall it is an above average comedy.

I would like to get the bad stuff out of the way first. There is always a few times in each romantic comedy where one of the people in the relationship gets mad at each other and it forces them to break up. This usually happens before they have changed and developed in the film and bettered themselves to fix the relationship and better themselves in the process. But, the only thing in About Last Night that I would change is make the relationship break up and getting back together different because the way that this process occurs in this movie is completely out of character and goes off the order in which they were suppose to better themselves. Basically for a good part of the movie, the director could not decide how he wanted his characters to act because a few of the actions that Michael Ealy and Kevin Hart made were not at all consistent with how they were portrayed in the beginning. This is just something in the movie that I noticed, but it did not in anyway stop me from enjoying the tons of laughs that About Last Night has to offer.

Back to the good part, Kevin Hart and Regina Hall. They literally made it seem like they were dating in real life, it is rare that I see chemistry this good from two actors and my opinion has greatly increased on the acting ability of both of them. Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant did a solid job too, but they did not have any real hard challenges to face in the film and even though they were more of the main characters, Kevin Hart and Regina Hall definitely carried About Last Night the whole way. The only thing I wished they could have done differently with Kevin Hart was use him more because he definitely could have added even more to this film. The jokes that he does in this film you could definitely tell he made up himself because he is just that good.

Best comedy in theaters right now, if you want an enjoyable movie experience with a ton of laughs, About Last Night is the only thing to watch.
