About Last Night is a 2014 American romantic comedy film starring Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall and Joy Bryant.

The remake, featuring a predominantly Black cast, is directed by Steve Pink and written by Leslye Headland.

It tells the story of Danny (Ealy) and Debbie (Bryant), and Bernie (Hart) and Joan (Hall), two couples who test how their relationships work in the real world.

[7] In addition to McDonald, Rodríguez, Lo Truglio, and Patton making up the supporting cast, American football player Terrell Owens had a cameo appearance in the film.

"[9] Ealy and Bryant played characters portrayed by Rob Lowe and Demi Moore in the previous film.

[11] He also compared About Last Night's depiction of "adult Black people in a sexy, romantic way" to the film Love Jones (1997).

Actor Michael Ealy said the story could be read independently of race and that it did not mean the original film would be called "predominantly white".

"[17] The Toronto Sun reported that in addition to the all-black cast, the remake would be closer in tone to the source material.

The downtown area had been revitalized in recent years, and the crew chose to film most of About Last Night in a 10-block radius around 6th and Main Streets.

The crew's location manager approached the owner of the local businesses to depict their properties as-is and benefit from publicity in exchange for lower rental fees for use of the space.

USA Today said About Last Night's performance "met most analysts' expectations" and that its success was helped by "an aggressive marketing campaign" featuring Kevin Hart.

[23] Forbes reported that About Last Night's opening weekend audience demographic was 63% female and 58% over 30 years old.

[28] The Los Angeles Times said the initial reviews for About Last Night were "largely positive" and better than those for Hart's film Ride Along, which was released the previous month.

[29] It reported that critics found the film "pretty satisfying, if rather familiar" and that the reviews, including negative ones, highlighted in particular "the comic relief of Hart and Hall".

It gave the film a score of 69% and summarized the critical consensus, "About Last Night wanders even further from the David Mamet play that inspired the original, but it benefits from an engaging cast and a screenplay that smartly balances romance and comedy.

"[32] Tim Ryan, writing for Rotten Tomatoes, said critics found the film "wise about the ups and downs" of love.

Ryan said, "The pundits say About Last Night doesn't reinvent the romantic comedy wheel, but it's refreshingly honest and insightful, and it provides a fine showcase for Hart's onscreen talents.

"[33] Variety's Peter Labuza called it a serviceable remake aimed at broader audiences compared to the original 1986 version.

Labuza highlighted the engaging dynamics between Kevin Hart and Regina Hall, whose comedic exchanges and on-screen chemistry provided much of the film's entertainment value, despite the plot's adherence to conventional romantic entanglements and the occasional predictability of its script.
