Date Night (2010)

Rating:60%
I've been wanting to see this one for a while. Not an incredible lot, but still.

Plot: Phil and Claire Foster are a married couple who go through the same boring routine with their two kids. After their two friends announce that they are splitting up because of their own family routine, Phil and Claire decide to goon a date in the city. The restaurant that they choose is packed to Phil takes another person's reservation which leads these two men to think that they are these people that stole a flash drive that's important to them, which leads things to get out of control.

In short...yeah this is just an okay movie. At the end of the day though, it was just the fact that it had Steve Carell and Tina Fey that kept it in anyway interesting. I will admit that a couple of jokes made me chuckles at least a tiny bit, and they had something that was a little different when they had the car chase that wasn't exactly realistic, but it was sort of cool, but different and I like that. But at the end of the day, while some might like it because they may relate to it, the plot in general is nothing spectacular. You probably have seen it all before, or at least have a good enough idea after seeing the trailer. So it's really just a couple of chuckles, a different thing for the car chase, and the fact that it has Carell and Fey that makes it an okay movie.

Acting/Characters:
Steve Carell/Phil Foster: Now this is another one of those times where Carell at first, is being roughly just Michael Scott, but is at least a little different as the movie goes on. Unfortunately, while we do have that slight change, it wasn't as big of a change as it was for him during Crazy, Stupid, Love. But hey, at least we don't have him being just the Michael Scott as we know from all those painful moments from The Office like Phillis wedding *shudders*
Tina Fey/Claire Foster: I admit that she wasn't quite as talkative or as energetic as Carell, but she still had her funny side too with trying to talk like pole dancer or some assistant of Will.I.am. or whatever. At the end of the day, I was fine with her because she was mostly being just the woman I know who plays Liz Lemon from good ol' 30 Rock.

Music: I liked that they had the songs Blitzkreig Bop and (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher. The actual score I didn't pay much attention to.

Editing: Most of it was alright, but when Phil and Claire entered Holbrooke's place a second time, I wasn't too sure about adding the scene with him closing the door. I don't know, I just though maybe they didn't really need that.

And that's my review for Date Night. It's just an okay movie that you may enjoy because of a couple of laughs, an interesting chase scene, and the fact that it just plain old has Steve Carell and Tina Fey.
