Review of Date Night (2010) by Vivian G — 19 Aug 2013

Totally sucked. I hated Tina Fey (and have been impressed that I'm not alone when I hear other, particularly older people refer to her as "that horrible Tina Fey") until someone told me I might like her book, Bossypants which I did very much, so I've given her another chance.

But this movie sucked. It's an utterly formulated accidental encounter with bad-guys type vehicle, and not really very funny or interesting due to it being silly and so, so derivative. We've seen this movie a hundred times before under other titles. I was expecting something closer to This Is 40, but I was disappointed. Sadly, she didn't write it. Perhaps if it had been her project and not somebody else's ...
