Date Night
An action-comedy about Claire and Phil Foster (Tina Fey and Steve Carell), a typical suburban couple whose lives – including their weekly date nights of dinner and a movie – have become routine. To reignite the marital spark, they visit a trendy Manhattan bistro where a case of mistaken identity turns their evening into the ultimate date night-gone-awry. But as Claire and Phil take their unexpected walk on the wild side, they begin to remember what made them so special together.

Reviews & comments
Conmtrived and desparate
Didn't make any sense - a screwball comedy genre failing abysmally with irritating lead characters gurning at every opportunity and being hysterical instead of having any gags or any imagination. You're better off with the Man Who Knew Too Little to show how mistaken identity comedy is really done. Possibly one of the woporse comedies I have ever seen.
Absolutely jaw-dropping.
I came out of this movie with my jaw on the ground. It had me in hysterics about 89% of the time. I'd go see this again in a second. I'm not lying when I say that some people were screaming with laughter including myself. Absolutely hilarious. Steve Carrel & Tina Fey are the definition of funny. I promise you that.

pressThey're Phil and Claire Foster - a NY husband and wife whose suburban lives have been besieged by the mundanities of two point four children; for whom each day is a series of routines - including their Date Night which sees them ordering the same dishes week in, week out.

pressPulling in all sorts of directions, Date Night is held together by a terrific cast that make a little go a long, long way. Somewhere in all of this there was a seriously good movie. As it is, we have a seriously weird one.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThese talented performers star in two of the wittiest, most sophisticated sitcoms on the air, but for this movie pairing they're stuck with an endlessly silly plot line and overblown physical mayhem that is instantly forgettable. The fact that they make it so funny nonetheless is a testament to their abilities.

pressCarell and Fey are good company and work hard, but this is still a formulaic tale that will look most at home on the back of an airplane seat. In other words, A Shawn Levy Film.
