ABOUT LAST NIGHT | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"ABOUT LAST NIGHT"
(2014) (Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy) (R)

QUICK TAKE:: Romantic Comedy: Two couples deal with the progression of their relationships.

PLOT:

Bernie (KEVIN HART) and Danny (MICHAEL EALY) are best friends and coworkers at a restaurant supply company, providing goods for customers such as bar owner Casey (CHRISTOPHER McDONALD) who was good friends with Danny's late father.

While the motor-mouthed Bernie is wild and uninhibited, Danny is more reserved and still getting over his break-up with Alison (PAULA PATTON). Following what could have been a one-night stand with dental hygienist Joan (REGINA HALL), Bernie has Danny join him for a double-date with Joan's roommate, Debbie (JOY BRYANT).

When Bernie and Joan drunkenly go off to have sex, Danny and Debbie chat, hit it off, and end up sleeping together as well. All of which results in both sets of friends separately talking about what happened and what any of it means, if anything.

Yet, while Bernie and Joan eventually break up, the relationship between Danny and Debbie deepens to the point that she moves out of Joan's place and into Danny's. As the year wears on, however, little things start creeping up that start driving increasingly sizeable dividers between them, all while Bernie and Joan continue with their love-hate-let's have sex relationship.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: Older teens might, especially if they're fans of anyone in the cast and/or R-rated romantic comedies.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R: For sexual content, language and brief drug use.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
