A darling movie

What a lovely film? What lovely chemistry between the two leads, Rob Lowe and Demi Moore? What lovely direction?

About Last Night based on David Mamet's play, Sexual Perversity In Chicago, is wonderfully translated into a screenplay by screenwriters Tim Kazurinsky and Denise DeClue.

Director, Edward Zwick takes it even further and gives us a very pleasant time watching this movie. He also elicits really good performances from his actors.

Heading the cast of accomplished actors are Rob Lowe, who is excellent; Demi Moore, who is also excellent and very appealing; James Belushi, who is funny being obnoxious and Elizabeth Perkins, who is always good and fun to watch.

Lowe and Moore seem to be made for each other as a match in this movie. I think I liked them both in this movie over their others.

I had a good time.
