Synopsis
Veering off in several thematic directions at once, A Night in Heaven starts with a torrid student-teacher romance which becomes somewhat derailed by adding on a failing marriage, political allusions related to NASA, a frustrated sister of the teacher, and several additional characters, many of whom are stuffing bills into male dancer's jock straps. Faye (Lesley Ann Warren) has just flunked a student in her speech class when she goes out that night to the "Heaven" nightclub and lo-and-definitely behold, there is Rick (Christopher Atkins), the failed student in his incarnation as a successful male stripper. This was a view of the student that Faye had never expected, and before anyone can flip a $20, the two are making mad, passionate love. While this may satisfy a few fantasies, events lead to an ultimate confrontation between the teacher's husband (who worked for NASA) and Rick that is even less believable than the student-teacher sexual liaison. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

A Night Of Eye Candy "Atkins" & Cheesy Acting
I remember watching this movie on HBO after its failure attempt at the box office when came out back in the early 80's. Christopher Atkins who will always be remembered for his less than revealing role opposite Brooke Shields in The Blue Lagoon. In "Heaven", Atkins plays a college student by day? (I think) cause Atkins cant be in high school but then again I could be wrong../male stripper by night ...Well Atkins has to pay his way for College Tution Fees...
Lesley Ann Warren is the teacher that happens to have Atkins in one of her classes at school. As I remember, Warren happens to go to the club that Atkins works at and OMG!! Both Atkins and Warren see each other,does either one run? Nope then there would be no plot line to follow...When Atkins secret job is out he makes the moves on Warren that begins a torrid affair. Oh,BTW Warrens character is married. Atkins don't mind, neither does Warren. "Heaven" may not be Atkins nor Warren's best movie but the VERY bad acting is somewhat worthy to watch. If you like to see revealing shots of Atkins, I do have to say that you gotta see this on a pay cable channel of if you can find this at a rental video store if there is one. I havent seen this movie make its appearance on DVD yet (wink) (wink) to the studio that currently has the rights to it yet but I would get it.

A night in hell.
In "A Night In Heaven", Lesley Ann Warren plays a college professor named Faye. Christopher Atkins is Ricky, a student in her class. At the end of his final report for his class, Ricky cracks a joke and Faye is not amused. She decides to fail him and make him take the course over again.

The next thing you know, Faye goes to watch some male strippers with some friends of hers. Who is one of the strippers? Ricky! Anyway, they develop one of the dreariest affairs I have ever seen. No sparks whatsoever.

There is also a dull side plot involving Faye's husband(!). He quits/is fired from his job. He puts 2 and 2 together and figures out that his wife is seeing the stripper. What does he decide to do? You'll just have to see in the exciting, I mean boring, climax.

I'm not really sure what the point of this movie is. There is no passion in anyone's performance. There is no actual plot and the romantic part of the film is tedious. Only recommended for fans of Christopher Atkins naked body.

Night in Heavan
Mmmm. . .Should Lesley Ann Warren risk a lifetime commitment for a few blissful hours with Chris Atkins? Oh, sure she should!!! Actually, this is a sweet, romantic story about two people who, beyond their strong mutual attraction, seem to genuinely like and find comfort in one another's company. The dance scenes are fun, the plot contains strong elements of humor and sensuality, and the leads turn in some engaging performances.
Good movie, especially for the ladies.
