Critic Reviews

  • Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune

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

  • Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central

    It takes a lot in order for Jim Belushi to be the best actor in something.

  • James Plath, Movie Metropolis

    A tiresome reminder of all those bad-taste things we left behind in the Eighties.

  • James Plath, Movie Metropolis

    Starts out strong and has potential, but then deteriorates into soap opera and endless montages.

  • Michael A. Smith, Nolan's Pop Culture Review

    Great adaptation of Mamet's play...if they ever make my life story, Jim Belushi is playing me!

  • Ken S


    About Last Night should be seen by anyone who has ever lived, loved or fucked in Chicago (especially if you did it in the 80's). Zwick proves yet again that he is one of the best "good" directors around. Rarley do his movies rise to the level of great, they're… More

  • Adam M


    Montage, montage, unknown MOR 80s music, montage... This is how people learned about the development of a youthful romance before Power Point. What I took most from this 80s adaptation of a 70s Mamet play is that it is one of those movies where James Belushi gives a performance so… More
