Leans Progressive
Primary
The film explores the complexities of modern romantic relationships and commitment through the experiences of two couples. Its focus on universal interpersonal dynamics and personal growth, rather than explicit political commentary on relationship structures or societal norms, positions it as neutral.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its casting choices, featuring a predominantly Black ensemble in roles that were traditionally portrayed by white actors in previous adaptations. The narrative, however, maintains a neutral stance, focusing on universal romantic comedy themes without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
Secondary
The 2014 film is a remake of the 1986 movie, which featured four main characters (Danny, Debbie, Bernie, Joan) portrayed by white actors. In the 2014 version, these same established characters are portrayed by Black actors, constituting a race swap for the ensemble.
The film 'About Last Night' (directed by Steve Pink) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative exclusively explores the dynamics of heterosexual romantic relationships and friendships, offering no portrayal of queer identity within its storyline.
The film "About Last Night" (2014) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on the romantic relationships of two heterosexual couples, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2014 film "About Last Night" is a remake of the 1986 film and an adaptation of a 1974 play. All primary characters retain the same gender as established in the original source material and previous adaptations.
