Three sentence movie reviews: About Last Night (2014)

about_last_night_ver6

This movie vacillates from being funny (most of the Kevin Hart scenes) to uncomfortable, as the point of the original play (as best I can tell*) seems to be how relationships don’t work when things start off–and continue–in a certain way.  However, this movie got even better once I watched the original.  The friend relationships were better fleshed out and the women weren’t nearly as shrill.

Cost: free from library. (I got this because the director of Sleeping With Other People wrote this version of the movie.)
Where watched: at home.

*I managed to find a critical essay about Sexual Perversity in Chicago at the library but they did not have the text of the play.

Kevin Hart in the third photo is dressed as Channing Tatum for his costume.  “Channing Tatum never gets cold!” he said and I laughed.

Crayons in desk are older than me.

I cleaned out my work desk today and found these gems.  I’m pretty sure both are from long before I was born.  I can’t say for sure the price of crayons during the 70s & 80s, but it sure wasn’t fifteen cents.  (And as an indication as to how far we are from that price, I just had to write out the amount because I don’t have a cents sign available to me in this writing platform.)

None of them looked like they’s been colored with.

I put them back in their cases and sent them off to the Goodwill. If you hear a media story about really old crowns selling for hundreds of dollars, don’t tell me about it.
