Date Night

Date night tells the story of a couple that change their routine date night into a much more frenetic and exciting night out in the city when they are confused for another couple that has problems with the organized crime. It is a movie that will keep you entertain for and hour and a half, it is a very good combination of action, adventure and comedy. The cast is very good. Steve Carell is as usual hilarious, Tina Fey is also very funny like and both as a couple make this movie enjoyable and worthy. Mark Wahlberg in the role of Holbroke, is like a secret agent with all the latest technology that helps Carell and Fey, is good and James Franco and Mila Kunis in a short appearance are decent enough. In conclusion, Date Night is a movie which only purpose is to entertain and I think they do it pretty well. Its recommendable for a weekend with nothing to do.

Wow, so disappointing. A poor writer's version of "True Lies" or "The Man Who Knew Too Little", this thing really feels like Steve & Tina were asked to just ad lib or tap dance - make that pole dance - through a bunch of set-ups, until the crew laughed. Then they moved on. Literally, this is what the final scene in the sex club is -- and then they show us out takes basically proving that's how they shot it. The story completely collapses when they go to Whalberg's apartment the second time. He says,"It's late, we already used this scene in the movie," and Steve says, "you have to let us in because the story has absolutely nowhere to go if you don't." The film has funny moments but the people rating it 7 stars are smoking something.

I like Steve Carell and I love Tina Fey but I was really disappointed by this terrible movie. I read the reviews on here after watching the movie and find it difficult to believe that many of these reviews can be genuine because I was firmly in agreement with the people who hated it. It seemed like the film went on forever although it actually lasted for about 80 minutes. I just kept thinking 'Please end' and let me get down the pub. I hope that Tina Fey chooses her next movie more carefully because her talent is above this unfunny rubbish. The same goes for Carell before he gets tagged with appearing in unfunny turkeys. Date Night was made to cash in on the present popularity of Tina Fey but in my opinion she has lowered her standards.

This film is about a married couple whose adventurous date night goes horribly wrong when they decide to steer off their usual routine date night. "Date Night" tells a story of a bored couple who sticks to their boring routine. Their passion ran out long ago, so they have to find something to restore their passion. This sets "Date Night" different from other romantic comedies, as it does not have sweet loved up couples who dreams of having a fairytale marriage. It's a lot more realistic and down to earth. What happens because of their adventurous deviation from their routine is funny and lighthearted, and that's without having to resort to toilet humour. Steve Carell and Tina Fey also work well together on screen, making "Date Night" enjoyable. It's great for brain off entertainment.

Just watched this on a Netflix disc with my mom and dad. Since it stars Steve Carell and Tina Fey-two of the funniest people on TV right now-I sorta expected the same from them here. In summary, quite amusing and there are some good laughs near the end not to mention during the blooper reel during the credits and afterwards. Still, I expected more and was a little disappointed I didn't get more though I also loved the scenes involving Mark Wahlberg among other pretty good supporting turns by Ray Liotta and William Fichtner. Like I said, Date Night isn't too bad as a comedy though it's far from a gut-buster. But if you're a fan of the two stars like I am, it's definitely worth a look.

Carell and Fey work well together and provide quite a few laughs with material that lesser comedic actors would fall flat with. Underrated Jimmy Simson leads a solid supporting cast. This is probably a 6, but any appearance by Leighton Meester is an automatic extra star by me.

It's not one of the funniest movies ever, but it provides a few laughs and makes for an easy date night movie (yes, I recognize the irony). Also, the cast is crazy stacked. Carell & Fey work well together but the script underutilizes them a bit. There are some cute moments but temper expectations and just go in with a playful mindset. Verdict: Watch.

This movie is not even a rental. There is nothing worse than a comedy that is completely unfunny. The first 15 minutes were boring. We were waiting for something, anything funny. Nothing. The plot you've seen before, many times. Nothing believable. Surely when they (Tina and Steve) were making this movie they realized this would be a bomb. If I was at a theater I would have walked out. I think they went for a PG 13 rating by using the f word once. Don't waste your time on this one. The acting wasn't awful but I couldn't help but think back to Rush Hour when Chris Tucker said "do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth"; and putting a thought bubble over Tina Fey saying "why is nothing funny coming out of my mouth."

If you enjoy Liz Lemon and Micheal Scott and imagined what their lives would be like if they were married with kids, don't miss this movie. I laughed out loud too many times to count. The star-studded cast were all memorable and hilarious in their roles. Don't expect THE OFFICE or 30 ROCK level humor - it's diluted and a little more mainstream. But still a worthy watch - I'll be re-watching when I need a laugh!

I feel that this film, composed as a multi-genre production, failed overall. I feel that the film tried to combine romance, comedy, and action. I understand the value of a well formed romantic comedy, but I feel that this film tried to involve serious romantic moments while promoting itself more as a comedy. The action scenes were rather ridiculous, but I suppose that is to be expected with this type of movie. I thoroughly enjoy Tina Fey in Saturday Night Live, as well as Steve Carell in The Office, and was rather looking forward to them as a duo, but I was ultimately disappointed. The more serious moments of romance between the two seemed forced and fake. I truly laughed for only a small fraction of the movie, but for the rest of it, I was ultimately bored. The outcome was totally predictable, and I wasn't disappointed. I would recommend this movie only as a last resort.
