Review of Date Night (2010) by Ethan P — 12 Jun 2012

A so so sort of movie in my opinion. This is a semi action, romantic, comedy like movie. In my opinion it isn't that funny... The plot of the story goes like this... A married couple from New Jersey decide to go on a normal date night but their entire night goes out of whack when Phil takes a reservation by the name of Tripplehorn. When they do so they're caught by two thugs and are force to get a flash drive that they don't have. Being mistaken for other people the couple try to get out of the situation by trying to explain their story. But of coarse it doesn't work so their entire night is filled with strange on goings.

The acting is okay. I expected more out of Steve Carell and Tina Fey. The only part I found funny was when Phil (Carell) and Claire (Fey) take one of Holbrooke's (Wahlberg) sports cars and rams into a taxi and they get stuck. That was hilarious. The sets look good. Acting is so so. And a warning, this movie contains coarse language and exclaims the F-bomb twice. Also filled with sexual dialog and is not a movie to watch with children. In my opinion this movie could be borderline R rated. The humor for the most part just doesn't make me laugh. I get the jokes (unfortunately haha) but its nothing different that I hear at school. So as a total its a 3 out of 5. Its nothing impressive. I wouldn't go buy it. Maybe rent. And if you are thinking about watching this for a date night... Not a good idea.
