Steve Carrell and Tina Fey do a great job!

"Is it a man or a woman? I don't know! I don't know!"
The Foster's marriage has lost a little of its spark but both Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) are just so grateful to make it through each day with work and family pressures, that focusing on one another just seems unnecessary when sleep is so inviting. They maintain a weekly date night but when their friends (Kristen Wiig and Mark Ruffalo) mention they're getting divorced Phil decides to do something different and head to an exclusive spot in New York City for a meal. Of course it is full so Phil steals someone else's reservation, as they are being paged to be seated the "Tripplehorns" (played by James Franco and Mila Kunis in a hilarious cameo).
Unknown to this somewhat naive couple, the people whose identity they …

Date Night review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 02/14/2012
A married couple, Phil and Claire Foster (Steve Carell and Tina Fey), plans of having a dinner date to keep the spark going. They steal a reservation slot at Claw and gets into loads of trouble. They ask assistance from Detective Arroyo (Taraji P. Henson). The couple also seeks the aid of the muscular Holbrooke (Mark Wahlberg), "Taste" (James Franco), and his wife "Whippit" (Mila Kunis) regarding the flash drive being searched by the 2 chasing them. The soundtrack was enjoyable and artists were effective in bringing out the humor. If only the character of Wahlberg and Kunis were funnier and the lack of believability in the Audi stuck on the taxi sequence were more realistic. Nevertheless, the onscreen couple did a good job in bringing the picture its necessary laughs and lessons in …

Great Film For A Date
MovieMike - wrote on 12/22/2011
After the somewhat disappointing ‘Bounty Hunter’, it seemed like tempting fate to check out the new release ‘Date Night’ with Tina Fey and Steve Carell. Like I said previously, actual date movies seem to be too far and between, so why not give it a go? Turned out to be a better call than I hoped for.
Directed by Shawn Levy (who also gave us the ‘Night At The Museum’ franchise and ‘Cheaper By The Dozen’), ‘Date Night’ is anything but predictable. Mixing comedy and a little couple’s introspection, the film manages to avoid being boring, and offers a number of genuine laughs without resorting to buffoonery.
Fey and Carell play Phil and Claire Foster, a couple who’s relationship has become mundane and are both beaten down by the daily grind. In an attempt to …

Funniest Film of 2010 Thus Far
nyp09 - wrote on 04/14/2010
“Date Night” is the funniest movie of 2010 thus far. It is clean, classic humour, but do not think that means it’s dull. The film is far from that. There are still some moments which are just silly, but it’s not possible to have a whole movie where every single joke is funny. A good comedy is one which different types of people can enjoy and one which has you laughing at the beginning and at the end. Nobody likes a comedy that gets old after 40 minutes. Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire Foster (Tina Fey) are a self-confessed boring couple from New Jersey. They feel like their life is getting too predictable and that there’s not enough excitement , so rather than go to their normal diner haunt for their date night, they decide to doll up and go to one of New York City’s best …
