Kevin Hart, left, and Michael Ealy on February 11, 2014 in Los Angeles, California. Getty Images “About Last Night” co-star Michael Ealy swears he and Kevin Hart don’t plot to star in major romantic comedies together, but admits that their rhythm and chemistry make filming “way more fun.” The duo, who are often cast as successful, yet supportive characters, starred in 2012’s “Think Like a Man” together and will appear in the sequel due out June 20. But “About Last Night” may catapult both men into leading-man territory. The movie opens this weekend and has received mostly rave reviews. Based on the 1986 film of the same name, which was in turn based on David Mamet’s play “Sexual Perversity in Chicago,” it follows both men as they sort through the complications of modern relationships. Hart and his on-screen love interest, played by Regina Hall, are the extreme couple that fall in love despite bombastic dysfunction (like, sex-in-chicken-masks dysfunction). Meanwhile, Ealy and his girlfriend, played by Joy Bryant, are slightly more relatable, confronting familiar issues like commitment-phobia and cohabitation. Ealy warned Speakeasy in an interview that the film is packed with raunchy humor, foul language and yes, nudity. To those headed to the theaters this weekend, he advises: “Buckle your seatbelt.” Here are excerpts from the interview. Have you been surprised by the success of “About Last Night”? The first time I saw it, I was in Atlanta and the audience’s reactions were reminiscent of “Think Like a Man.” At that point, I knew we were going to do well. People just responded to it, they were cracking up and really invested. I have to say it’s a funny, funny film. Kevin Hart and Regina Hall are the funniest male-female duo I’ve seen on screen in a long time. Their characters’ relationship is kind of a disaster, yet somehow, it mysteriously works. Everybody knows a couple like that.
