Zitate
Beth: [wielding a camcorder, making home movie] Nick, the movers are gonna be here any minute!
Nick: I know.
Beth: [narrating] This is where it all began. Two years ago, they were all but complete strangers. Who would have thought that a couple of margaritas and one night of bliss on this imported rug would lead to... "darling, won't you marry me?"
[he is busy typing]
Beth: Come on, Nick, we have to meet the real estate agent to give us the keys to the warehouse.
Nick: Just a sec.
Beth: [narrating:] Nicholas Taylor, believed by most people to be a writer of serious fiction, but in actuality, he's the owner of the wildly successful new night club, Zex House.
Nick: [incredulous] Zex House?
Beth: Mr. Taylor, I hear you have big plans for this new night spot. Can you tell us about them?
Nick: Hang on, I'm almost finished with this chapter. You know how I work better under pressure.
Beth: Here we have it. From fiction to fact, art versus business, can he do it? Or will success spoil Mr. Taylor?
Nick: Come here, read this.
Beth: Read it? What if I don't like it?
Nick: You'll like this. It has a happy ending.
Beth: [he caresses her as she reads] "For the past two years, they had shaped their love in the confines of these walls. Now he believed they could make it. But even if he didn't, in their hearts they would always carry the imprint of their romantic maneuvers." This is a happy ending?
Nick: Oh, there's more.
Beth: No, there isn't.
Nick: Yeah.
[there isn't, but he adds:]
Nick: He looks into her eyes with a sincerity he hasn't felt since he was fifteen, in love for the first time.
[leading to their passionate kiss]

Awful - one of the worst I've seen

Even by the low rent standards of Crown International Pictures, NIGHT CLUB is an awful film. It's a long forgotten, zero budget, 1989 tale about a bickering young couple who buy an old warehouse and plan to turn it into a thriving nightclub, but they run into problems - financial and otherwise - along the way.

It amuses me that the IMDb defines this as 'action, comedy, drama' while my TV guide called it a horror. There's no action, horror, or comedy in it and the drama is limited to scenes of the whiny lead bitching about various trivialities. Viewers will quickly tire of Nicholas Hoppe's intensely irritating lead character which is off-putting in itself. 95% of the running time consists of characters sitting around in or fooling around in the abandoned warehouse while nothing happens to further the non-existent plot.

Occasionally a Tarantino-lookalike gangster comes into the fray, but to pad out the film for the most part there's a series of incessant sex and nude scenes. These are silly and dated looking in the extreme, and the cheesy music that plays during them (and elsewhere) helps to make this film feel incredibly dated. It really is a mess, and one of the worst I've seen.
