This past week a friend and I went out for girl's night and we happened to see Date Night, where a couple take another couple's dinner reservation and it leads them on an adventure that they never bargained for. Let me say that the pairing of Tina Fey and Steve Carrell is a comedic match made in heaven. Their interactions as a 'been married forever' couple is believable, sweet and hilarious. We particularly enjoyed the antics between the two in the restaurant when they make up pretend conversations between other diners. This movie is definitely relatable to couples that feel that everyone's life is more exciting than their own, but then they come to appreciate that they really have a good thing going.
There were definitely parts where they could have pushed it a bit more for laughs but overall it had good humor. The car chase was priceless as was Carrell's annoyance at Mark Wahlberg's apparent lack of shirt. In the thick of it all Fey and Carrell's characters show that they do have some chops when it comes to getting to the bottom of things and taking on those that are out to get them. Several stars such as Mark Ruffalo and Kristin Wiig make amusing cameos.
So for all you couples out there this is a movie truly made for a great date night! And be sure to stay until the end of the credits, there are bonus outtakes!
