Zwick (Glory) directed this in 1986 based on a play by Mamet (The Untouchables). Lowe (West Wing) and Moore (Striptease) have a one night stand that sort of leads to a relationship. Things move quickly, there is a lot of not communicating correctly, and friends that are trying to pull them apart. When they break up the fault lies equally between the two of them. Belushi (Red Heat) and Perkins (Weeds) are the friends. There is a lot sex in this for the 80s and a lot of candid sex talk for the 80s. All in all, I say: SKIP IT - it's kind of dated, but at the time is was decent.
In 2014, it was remade by Pink (the guy that helps write with John Cusack - High Fidelity). It is written this time by a women.
Ealy (Almost Human) is the Lowe character. Bryant (The Skeleton Key) is Moore's character. This time it's all his fault. Hart (Ride Along) and Hall (Think Like A Man) are the best friends. Those two had better chemistry than the other two, and they had the funniest scenes. All in all, I say: SEE IT - it's updated and much better than the original - movie that is - I never saw the play.
