All Night Long Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Jean-Claude Tramont
Genres: Comedy Drama, Romance
Rating:
Gene_Hackman plays a disgruntled suburbanite who manages the Ultra-Sav, an all-night drugstore. He hates his job, hates his debts and responsibilities, and isn't overly fond of his wife (Diane_Ladd) and son (Dennis_Quaid). Partly as a form of protest, Hackman enters into an affair with Barbra_Streisand, one of his wife's distant relatives (don't ask how she's related - it takes Hackman about thirty seconds to explain it to another character). Streisand doesn't belong in this picture at all, but she can be forgiven her acting excesses because she wasn't the first choice for the role anyway (Lisa_Eichhorn dropped out just before shooting began). The best moments in All Night Long involve the steady stream of oddballs and losers who trickle into Hackman's establishment. There is also a cute Apocalypse_Now parody involving a battery-operated toy helicopter. The principal attraction of All Night Long is Gene_Hackman playing an endearingly recognizable modern type.
