SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

How could this have gotten such a low rating? (Keep in mind I love cheesy 70's/80's flicks) It's a sexy movie but it's far from trashy. It's got real emotions running through the entire movie mostly thanks to Leslie Anne Warren. I can't get over how she doesn't have any lips though. You don't see that nowadays thanks to collagen. Please understand, I am not praising collagen injections, they're obnoxious. That was sarcasm.Her character is such a prude it's annoying. She's just adorable when she gets dressed up in that little red dress so it leaves me to wonder why any woman would choose to go around looking as plain as she did through most of this movie.Christopher Atkins is too adorable in this movie. How could any woman not crush on that kid, married or not. He's irresistible. His strip tease was really sexy. I would like to personally thank the choreographer for keeping his dance number "manly" and most of all for not putting him in a thong, that would have killed it. Word of advice guys, that is not sexy on ANY man, not even on Tatum Channing (drool). I have loved this movie since I was a kid. Atkin's strip tease surely is A Night in Heaven.

Uptight university teacher Faye Hanlon (Lesley Ann Warren) has a husband (Robert Logan) who ignores her and she can't get through to him. One night her friends drag her to a male strip club where she sees incredibly hot Rick Monroe (Christopher Atkins) stripping--and he just happens to be a student she's failing in her class! Nonetheless he falls for HER and tries to seduce her. She tries resist him but she has trouble not giving in...This was written by a woman and what was originally (I heard) a well-written story about a woman coming to grips with her failing marriage and attraction to a younger man. Sadly it was turned into a silly pointless movie just made to show off Atkins' body. There are glimpses here and there of a good story trying to break free but they're always undermined by showing Atkins nude (no frontal shots but they come close). I don't blame Atkins for this--he was a very handsome man, had a great body and was easy on the eyes. He can't act but when you look like that who cares? I blame the studio for this. The movie looks like it was heavily edited (look at the short running time) and entire plot lines are left dangling. Worst of all is the ending.PLOT SPOILERS!!!! Atkins was left alone and nude on a boat and we don't even hear Warren and Logan discussing their marriage! I don't believe it was written that badly for one second. END PLOT SPOILERS! All that's left is an excellent performance by Warren, a great 80s soundtrack (especially "Heaven" that became a huge hit a year later), hysterically bad 80s clothes and Atkins nude scenes. I doubt we'll ever see a complete version of this film which is too bad. I can only give this a 3.

It just cracks me right up when people mention "A Night in Heaven" and the word "plot" in the same sentence. Yeeping yimminy, take a look at the box cover! All they ever promised us was Chris Atkins in his Xanadu disco-slut-wear, pulsating and gyrating and waving his goodies at the camera. A male nudie flick. That's what they promised us, and that's what we got!Mr. Blue Lagoon prances about the entire movie wearing nothing more than a cheap self-tanner and dental floss. The direction is nothing more than an endless string of tight close-up shots of Mr. Atkins' generously lathered nether-regions. Pure smut. That's what they promised us, and that's what we got!Word of caution: This flick is where that "Obsession" song came from ("I will have you, yes I will have you..wah wah wah...") It's not the Animotion version either, it's, gasp ...even worse. It sounds like it was recorded at one of those amusement park "You be a Star!" karaoke-style "recording studios". Shudder.But that's irrelevant. As is the acting, the cinematography, the editing, the lighting and most of all Lesley Ann Warren. "A Night in Heaven" is all about an oiled-down Atkins, a few clutzy dance moves, and a skimpy boy-toy thong. That's what they promised us, and that's what we got.Yay them!

I know that a lot of people who write reviews always try to find some deeper meaning and/or raised consciousness from the silver screen. However, some movies appeal to nothing more than our base instincts.In this case, there is not a guy reading this that hasn't fantasized about a good looking teacher. On the other hand, there probably are no female teachers who did not find a single young man as attractive, appealing, and worthy of a few fantasies herself.That's all this movie represents. I think that's all it ever meant to be. I enjoyed it - but then again I think Lesley-Ann Warren is hot!
