Review of Date Night (2010) by Jason J — 15 Jul 2011
Date Night whilst not being the best comedy ever, is enjoyable. The story is a little bit over the place, and the kind of plot you would expect from a comedy of this type, but it's still pretty fun. It's a bit slow to start out, but it really picks up, and is well paced. The performances of Carell and Fey are great, they have really good chemistry. The movie also features some nice cameos from Ray Liotta, William Fichtner, James Franco and Mila Kunis. But the rest of the cast aren't as good as the two leads.
The film's humour though, is a bit lacked. Sometimes the laughs feel too little, and too far apart, occasionally feeling forced. Probably the funniest scene though, and what will go down in history as probably the most memorable moment in the movie, is the car chase. It's well staged, fast paced, and uses an inspired comical gag to brilliant effect.
Not a bad movie, this is something to watch with your friends and/or family on a rainy day.
