I thought it was funny, but dragged on a bit and in some parts just a bit too unrealistic, however my Wife loved it, so guess its not that bad, worth a watch but only once =)

Date Night (Comedy/Action)

Basic premise: Phil and Claire Foster (Carell and Fey) are a happily married, albeit boring couple who decide to reinvigorate their married life by dining at the hippest restaurant in town. When the restaurant is fully booked, they decide to ‘live dangerously’ and take another couple’s table reservation; only, the couple who’s table they’ve taken have made some very dangerous people rather angry and through a case of mistaken identity the Fosters’ Date Night becomes wilder than they could have ever imagined.

Main cast: Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Mark Wahlberg, Taraji P. Henson; with great minor performances from James Franco (Pineapple Express), Mila Kunis (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) and William Fichtner (Prison Break).

What I wanted out of the film: Being a Tina Fey enthusiast (and admittedly a Carell fan) I was expecting a clever comedy with a strong storyline. I wanted to laugh… a lot!

My rating: 4 Stars; I am always extremely apprehensive about having high expectations of movies because I am almost always let down, however Date Night definitely lived up to my expectations. Whilst the basic storyline is not overly original it is carried off very well as there are several scenes that I was definitely not expecting (particularly because of the actors involved). Fey and Carell have spectacular chemistry which is often helped by their fantastic comic timing and they truly did seem like a married couple. There were also several great, almost cameo-like performances that provided many laughs; however, the biggest laughs were always at the expense of Fey and Carell’s rather hapless couple, The Fosters.

Target audience/rating: General audience (particularly married couples)/4 Stars

*** Note: Stick around through the first part of the credits because some of the outtakes are hilarious.

I found this movie really good, as I love Tina Fey. On the other hand I rather dislike Steve Carell, hence the lower review. It is an enjoyable experience if you are after a movie where you can just switch your brain off, but may just be worth spending your money seeing something else.

Date Night is hands down the funniest I have seen in a long time!!! I loved it :)

Great movie, laugh out loud funny most of the way through!! I had tears from so much laughing, go and see it even if you don't have kids cos its a comedy and you can still have a laugh even if you don't get the story.

Fun and light hearted. If looking for a real plot with depth don't go but otherwise enjoyed it very much.

Thanks

Enjoyable movie with lots of laughs for both men and women. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Thanks for the tickets. Have already told friends to make sure they go along and see the movie and have a good laugh .

Funny film in places and had the promise of being really great but never really got there for me. I felt that you'd seen all the really funny bits in the trailers.

However for anyone who has battled to keep their relationship going when you've got kids and all the demands that brings, you will relate to a lot of the story and challenges the couple face. The chaos that ensues after they get mistaken for the 'Tripplehorns' is humourous but very predictable.

The car chase with a difference is funny though and almost (but not quite) makes up for the dreadful pole dancing scene ...

Humourous but very forgettable.
