Date Night (2010)
I mostly wanted to see this movie because I am an avid Tina Fey fan, and Steve Carell can be entertaining in some things. In this particular movie, Claire Foster (Tiny Fey) and Phil Foster (Steve Carell) seem as if they are bored with their mundane lives. They have two kids, and basically go through the same routines every single day: taking care of the kids and going to work. By the end of the night, they are so worn out that they barely have any free time to themselves before deciding to call it a night and go to bed. So, they decide to spice things up a bit by driving to the city and trying to eat at an expensive restaurant. The restaurant is reservation only, so they pretend to be a different party since said party was a no-show. Little do they know, the party that was a no-show was involved in a huge scandal. So, their night is filled with many crazy adventures. Personally, I thought that this movie was hilarious. I laughed so much. The most memorable scene was the scene where Claire and Phil go into a strip club. They end up having to try to dance seductively, and it was absolutely hilarious. Along with funny scenes, there were also some heartwarming scenes. Tina Fey and Steve Carell were great together, and pulled off a believable married couple. There was excellent on-screen chemistry. The plot wasn't the greatest plot in the world, but if you need a good laugh (which I definitely needed tonight), then it is worth it. Just enjoy it for what it is; which is a movie. I definitely wouldn't mind owning this movie on DVD whenever it comes out.
I gave this 8/10 stars on imdb.com.
