About Last Night - About dating, sex, and comedy

Kevin Hart is on FIYA!  We all know he's hilarious, but Kevin is fast becoming the go-to-guy when you need a black comedian to make your movie funny.  He's had numerous successes in the last few years, and About Last Night is sure to be another one.  About Last Night not only stars the hilarious albeit too loud Kevin Hart, but also the equally funny and gorgeous Regina Hall, the very handsome and dreamy-eyed Michael Ealy, and the too much hair but very lovely Joy Bryant.

This is a remake of the 1986 movie which originally starred Rob Lowe and Demi Moore which was based on the 1974 play Sexual Perversity in Chicago.  The 2014 version has a predominantly black cast and is set in LA.  The movie follows two couples as they traverse dating, cohabitation, sex, exes, and love.  Bernie (Hart) and Danny (Ealy) are best friends who work together, and they meet roommates, Joan (Regina) and Debbie (Joy), and begin dating them and the funny ensues.  Danny and Debbie's relationship moves very quickly, and Bernie and Joan aren't their biggest supporters.  There's nothing like getting advice on your relationship from that bitter and slightly jealous friend.  And, there's nothing more embarrassing or more funny than walking in on your friend having wild sex while wearing a chicken mask.  I'm telling you, this movie is a trip!

The comedy really is mostly between Regina and Kevin.  Who knew there was a female version of Hart.  She holds her own with him, and makes you laugh at every turn.  The two of them should definitely do more movies together.  They are a great pair.  While the story itself isn't that great, the comedic scenes more than make up for some of the dry and choppy moments.  Everyone will enjoy this movie and laugh out loud because whether you're single, dating, married, divorced, old or a young-adult, you can relate to the trials and tribulations in About Last Night.

Oh, even though I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, I want to say thank you and I love all of you who read my blog.  So...
