Reel Opinions - A Blog by Melissa: Date Night


Date Night (2010)
Steve Carell and Tina Fey

Phil (Carell) and Claire (Fey) Foster’s lives revolve around their careers, children and everyday suburban lifestyle. Date night is just another part of the couple’s same boring routine. After deciding to try to get that old spark back, the couple head out to Claws, a hot new restaurant in the city. With no reservations, Phil quickly improvises and takes another couple’s reservations. What they don’t know is that along with a table for two, they also get what just happens leads to the most exciting night of their lives.

The boring New Jersey married couple doesn’t back down from the bad guys! After an evening of mistaken identities, dirty cops, prostitution and extortion, the two are able to put the spark back in their marriage. Tina Fey and Steve Carell are two of Hollywood’s funniest actors. Together they are great. The movie includes a worthy mention for its supporting cast including Mark Wahlberg, James Franco, Mila Kunis, Ray Liotta, Mark Ruffalo and even Will.I.Am. It wasn’t the funniest movie, the storyline wasn’t riveting, but it gives you a good few chuckles. It would be a great date night movie!

Favorite Scene:
The car chase between Phil and Carol and the dirty cops in which a NYC cab is brought along for the ride!
