Really well made with all the ingredients to make for a successful flick (now if other movie-makers could just take heed and apply). Great cast, cool soundtrack, an unusual storyline that's both interesting and believable, directed so well that it's noticeable (you realize your brain's going "wow, whoever put this together did a brilliant job", and especially apparent during the screaming car chase scenes), and, of course, "Date Night" is funny as all hell. Watching for maybe the 5th time, I still laughed my head off, as did everyone else watching with me. I felt compelled to come here and give it a rightful star rating of 9 (6.1, what?). A solid 9 stars, pretty brilliant!

The movie starts out showing us Tina and Steve as a typical NJ couple with a boring life. Once a week they have a date night where they go out to the same restaurant and order the same food. For entertainment they "guess" what the story is, or mini-biography behind other couples eating at the restaurant. perhaps one of the better scenes with these two. They are also once-a-weekers in the bedroom. When their neighbors get divorced because they were in a similar rut, Steve re-examines their routine and decides to do something different by going to a different restaurant. Then, in a case of mistaken identity, they get hunted down by two rouge cops working for the mob.There are some great scenes such as the bit role by Mila Kunis, and the taxi cab scene. There are also some scenes that didn't play well such as serious scenes between Steve and Tina as they discuss their life. Neither Carell or Fey pull those scenes off very well.The comedy is good, but not constant. The attempt to make it into some kind of romantic comedy was bad.

I've been watching a lot of 30 Rock and last night I was looking through Netflix to find different movies Tina Fey has been in. Date Night is one of the movies I found, and since my dad had already seen it, and he said it was funny.Date Night is definitely a funny movie. The way the two main characters just keep getting mixed in misadventures and situations which get crazier all the time is hilarious. Usually when a movie is about a married couple, there are those few annoying tropes. Screenwriters seem to hate marriage - they make it seem boring and hellish if there are kids involved, and there's no spark anymore and blah blah. But in Date Night these two actually communicate, even if there seemed to be the same exact problem in the beginning as in many other movies. It's refreshing to see a somewhat typical comedy, yet the writers are not using those tropes as a way to create humor. It's not funny if a couple hates each other, it's just sad and weird. Date Night is an ordinary in its genre, though it is mixing two typical genres together. Still, it's hilarious and worth watching.

This movie is excellent. It's so funny and the storyline is intriguing and this movie always gives you moments when you go, "Wow, did that really just happen?"This movie is about a simple married couple, Phil and Claire. They have been married for years and they are getting a little bored of their average day. Taking care of the kids, going to work, coming home, having dinner, going to bed. They decide to have date night, hence the title, in New York City. Normally they don't do something as wild, but after he heard about a friends' divorce thanks to them being in a rut, Phil decides to make this date night extra special. And it is. The night turns into a thrill ride with dangerous people after them, after they are mistaken for other people, and they must run all around the city, escaping the thugs and getting home in time to see their kids wake up.Do they say the title of the movie, in the movie: Yes, they do.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.
