mojo2004 I remember when the "Ladies Night" in clubs with male strippers became popular.One scene in "Mr Mom" and this entire movie made the male stripping industry for females really take off.Afterwards Every TV sitcom of the 80's on had at least one episode with the male stars doing a strip and the females stars catching them and dragging them off the stage or going crazy and spending tons of money like Peg Bundy. That said this movie was corny.Only because Christopher Atkins was the boniest,non-dancing male stripper I've ever seen.Clearly he was chosen to capitalize on the "teen hunk" factor and "The Blue Lagoon" movie which he starred.Lesley Warren is dressed like a school marm in the 1880's until she gets a make-over up by a girlfriend to hit the club and snap!She's a hot mama in a snazzy red dress with her hair down and plenty of make-up on.What she doesn't know is a student she flunked recently (Chris) is the star stripper in the club she goes to and he knocks her off her feet with a super sexy kiss.Oh yeah-She's married to a fuddy-duddy older than she is. It's an okay film to catch on cable.Just don't expect any deep acting by anyone and you'll be fine.

Sherazade I saw this film one night on the Fox movie channel and the title nearly put me off but I had just gone through two and a half hours of Oscar and Lucinda so I needed something to cheer me up.I was pleasantly surprised to find a film chock full of male strippers and decadent soccer mums willing to throw caution to the wind by (almost nightly) flocking to go see these men strut their stuff. That's what got me to watching this film, the fact that it was so unusual because nowadays, when you hear the word "stripper" especially on film, it's usually a girl or several throwing their bits about the screen.Anyhow, Lesley Ann Warren plays a married college speech instructor who can't seem to get around a student of hers (played by the delicious looking Christopher Atkins from Blue Lagoon) who is flunking her class but trying to use his charm to get a better grade. One night, LAW, her friends and sister decide to abandon their husbands and go visit a strip club where the sexy main attraction "Ricky the rocket" is none other than the same Ricky (Atkins) in LAW's class. Ricky spots his teacher in the crowd, but rather than be ashamed he is amused as he begins to work the crowd and eventually works his way up to her. The sensual vulgarity sparks fly once he's in front of her and it isn't long before the two are full-fledged making out just as the French intended. LAW is stunned by what is happening but also becomes jealous when Ricky continues to work the crowd after their little session and begins to make-out with every woman in the room. LAW and her sister take their leave, much to the delight of Ricky's girlfriend who had been watching from the sidelines, but Ricky is pleased too because he knows he has awakened something in his teacher and he likes the fact that he can toy with her emotions just as she toys with his grade in class.The rest of the film then deals with the instructor (LAW) coming to terms with this blooming affair between her and her student and the repercussions that ensue once her husband discovers what's going on.I gave the film 6 stars because it was okay for an 80s film. Everything is dated by now but there is a genuine unforgeable honest chemistry between the two main actors and they transcend this to their characters commendably well.In this day and age, LAW couldn't dream of trying half of the stuff that's done in the film but I guess that's where the decadence comes in. Nowadays when you hear about teacher-student relationships, you can't even begin to imagine the attraction talk less of the affair, but this film puts it all into perspective for you.NOTE: Most of Atkins scenes feature him in the buff. Full frontal buff. What a man!

Ryan I know that in no means I'm trashing eighties movies. I grew up on eighty movies, and I have seen a lot of trash and a lot of superb films. When I think of A Night In Heaven, I think of Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, even that flunky movie Johnny Depp did with Morrow....Private Resort or something like that! I would depict this movie and dissect it with criticism, but I can't because I actually enjoyed this movie. What separates this movie from others that were in the eighties junkyard is that this actually had a convincing plot. Yes, I think Lesley Anne Warren is sexy, no I don't think Christopher Atkins is a heartthrob and I don't see what the big deal about him was, considering he is just that star that appeared with Brooke Shields in The Blue Lagoon.What I like about this movie is that it doesn't play out as your ordinary dumb film like most eighties movies. You don't see anyone you think is from Revenge Of The Nerds or Just One Of The Guys(which I must confess I liked also), there's not much stupidity, no brain cells should be damaged in the process of watching this and one of my favorite scenes is actually in the beginning with Logan on the funky bike while Bryan Adams sings the theme song...after that I figured I was in for a 80 minute treat that I consider a very underrated, tarnished, bashed movie that didn't make the grade for reasons I believe just had that quality of being toooooo eighties!!! I recommend A Night In Heaven for it's chemistry between Lesley and Christopher and for something that's not monotonous and filled with low humor and bad acting, I recommend it also for how poignant love is between this teacher and her student and by the way who said she passed him just because she made love to him?Oh and by the way you will love the ending which is another ingredient to the mix of this very, very underrated movie!!!

hawncub17 I do agree that "A Night In Heaven" should have been re-titled "A Night in Hell" but look at the story. Atkins is a student by day and stripper by night. At least he has a job to pay & support his education. Though it may not be the right venue to go with. And add into the mix actress Lesley Anne-Warren who plays one of Atkins teacher from school? And when Warren happens to drop by at Atkins place of employment and happens to watch him while he performs....Mmmmmm Action, Affair!!!! By the way, Warren is happily married that equals the sleazy fun of "A Night In Heaven"
