Good cast, bad movie. Date Night misses the mark. It is a good movie to watch on TBS, maybe before Conan.
I like Tina Fey and Steve Carell they make a good comic team, but do they have be in a movie with a stupid script? It was like being sick and watching some bad TV show from 70’s or 80’s. There were plot lines tapped from ‘Scarecrow and Mrs. King.’
We have suburban couples that live a dull life with their two kids. Their friends are getting a divorce. Oh no, how will they take it? I sure hope the audience hasn’t seen a Woody Allen movie. They try to live it up in New York City. It goes OK until they get caught up in a criminal syndicate. Corrupt cops chase them and Marky Mark is the only one who can help them out without his shirt on. Oh there are uncomfortable situations that come up when his hot Israeli girlfriend comes down almost naked and asks if Tina and Steve are going to join them for sex.
The couple fights for most of the movie. It’s annoying. Not funny!
There are some respites of humor. Anytime Carell and Fey are allowed to let loose, you see how good the movie have been if they could have just cut loose. The blooper real at the end of the film was some of the funniest moment and that is when the movie has already ended.
My favorite part of a small scene with James Franco and Mila Kunis playing a thief and stripper being held at gun point by Fay and Carell; hopefully that will be on utube sometime soon.
In summary, wait for cable.
