Roger Ebert gave the filmout ofstars, writing in his review that About Last Night . . . is one of the rarest of recent American movies, because it deals fearlessly with real people, instead of with special effects. The lead performances were especially praised, with Ebert writing Lowe and Moore, members of Hollywoods Brat Pack, are survivors of last summers awful movie about yuppie singles, St. Elmos Fire. This is the movie St. Elmos Fire should have been. Last summers movie made them look stupid and shallow. About Last Night . . . gives them the best acting opportunities either one has ever had, and they make the most of them. ........
