Oh, what a difference an R-rating can make when stomping through the well-worn grounds of romantic comedy territory.
About Last Night, a remake of the 1986 film of the same name — itself a loose adaptation of David Mamet's play Sexual Perversity in Chicago — is one of the funniest, foul-mouthed, and brutally honest rom-coms in recent memory. Director Steve Pink (Hot Tub Time Machine) and writer Leslye Headland (Bachelorette, Terriers) clash the male and female relationship experiences with crude delight, evoking the leisurely naturalism of '60s comedies like Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and, more recently, romances of the indie ilk. With Katherine Heigl and Nicolas Sparks dominating the genre over the past half-decade, About Last Night arrives as a glimmer of hope.
