Description

Heading a star-studded cast, Griffin Dunne ("My Girl," "Who's That Girl?") is just a regular guy in that friendly, regular town -- New York City -- who winds up in an hysterical series of misadventures one long, crazy night on the quintessential date-from-hell. Directed by Academy Award-winner Martin Scorsese ("GoodFellas," "The Age of Innocence"), this critically acclaimed black comedy features Rosanna Arquette ("Pulp Fiction," "Desperately Seeking Susan"), Academy Award-nominee Teri Garr ("Tootsie," "Young Frankenstein"), Bronson Pinchot (TV's "Perfect Strangers," "True Romance"), Linda Fiorentino ("The Last Seduction," "Vision Quest"), John Heard ("Home Alone" 1 & 2) and Cheech and Chong. Siskel & Ebert call this "a great movie!"

  • Classic NYC Fiasco

    By Ranitoba
    A data entry guy goes to SoHo for a date, triggering a carefully orchestrated symphony of disaster, with bad breaks that keep playing off each other until he's literally running for his life. One of Scorsese's best--a classic NYC movie, vintage 1980s, with a genuinely engrossing story that keeps upping the ante, and a ridiculous number of crazy-talented actors in the cast. (Catherine O'Hara alert!) do not sleep on this classic.

  • Literally no plot

    Not even interesting enough to be boring. Only good part was the scene with the guy from Second Sight.

    This is one of the few comedies I enjoy. I love Taxi Driver but this is probably my favorite Scorsese film. It’s an unusual film for Scorsese but it’s a gem!!!

  • After Hours

    I copied this on a VHS tape years ago. Can't wait to burn a playable HD DVD of it. This and Leaving Las Vegas are my top two movies. Dark humor at its best with wonderful acting by all the characters. I have probably watched this close to 10 times and still discover new nuances I hadn't caught previously.

  • Overrated

    It's not that funny. The bizarre set of coincidences eventually become way too contrived, and the ending was too easy. Most of the star actors had their talents wasted.

  • Good Movie

    I saw this movie at the theater in 1985? I remember sitting there wishing the night and movie would never end.

  • One of the best movies ever made

    When I was a kid I saw this and it was so real to me but I didn't realize how real it was until I grew up and became a grown man. This is truly a perfect film. Worth every penny.

  • WONDERFUL!!!

    Excellent, imaginative, lyrical and wildly cinematic black comedy from Martin Scorsese. It's sort of the "light" side of Taxi Driver. These two films, After Hours and Taxi Drivers are my favorite Scorsese films, followed closely by Goodfellas, Casino and The King of Comedy.

  • Best Scorsese movie ever?

    This movie is tied with The King of COmedy for the best Scorsese movie ever. He is best while being darkly funny. It frees him from his need to prove his masculinity in the darkness of gangster maudlinism. I wish he would just start making more and more comedies like this one. It's hilarious, twisted, wonderful and insane. Just how I like it.
