Synopsis
The Night Before (1988) is a teen comedy with a very young Keanu Reeves, and you can watch online on iFILM. Winston, a shy high-schooler, lands a date to the prom with the most beautiful girl in school — then wakes hours later in a filthy alley with his dad's car gone, his date missing, and zero memory of how any of it happened.
What follows is a scramble to piece the night back together: how a quiet nerd lost the family car, misplaced his date Tara, and somehow ended up owing his life to a man named Tito. Lori Loughlin plays the girl. Nighttime Los Angeles gives the dazed teenager a rough welcome, and every clue he digs up drags him a little deeper into trouble.
Thom Eberhardt directed. It's a light period piece, most interesting today as an early Reeves outing — made a year before Bill & Ted, in the same lovable-doofus register. There's nothing grand on its mind, and that honesty is part of the charm: pure put-it-on-and-relax viewing. Best for fans of '80s teen comedies and Keanu completists curious about where he started. Stream The Night Before (1988) online on iFILM.
