Danny and Bernie are two single guys living the wild life in Chicago. Danny, who is not looking to get serious, meets Debbie at a bar and they have a passionate one-night stand. But Debbie wants more, and Danny wants more great sex, so their encounter grows into a passionate affair. Bernie, a bit of a slob, and Debbie's best friend Joan, who is promiscuous but hostile to guys, are not helpful to the couple, and often downright unsupportive. Having started their relationship off on the wrong foot, Debbie and Danny go through some rocky times and may not be able to connect permanently. Based loosely on David Mamet's play "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," this 1986 romantic film is not terribly Mamet-like but very much of its era. All the leads do good work somewhat early in their careers: Lowe and Moore have strong chemistry, Belushi and Perkins are caustic and funny in the backing roles. Catherine Keener may be glimpsed in her film debut as a cocktail waitress.
