Date Night

Posted in Man Cave, Reviews by - April 15, 2010

Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) Foster are just your average boring couple from New Jersey.  They have two kids and their life has become nothing but the same routine day after day. Every Friday night the two go out for “Date Night” and usually just go out to eat. After realizing that their friends relationship had gone south, Phil decides he wants to spice it up a bit and take Claire to the city for a romantic evening at Claw (a seafood restaurant). The couple arrives late and can’t get a table so Phil decides to snag another parties reservation. So the Foster’s posed as the Tripplehorn’s for one night and it was the worst decision of their life… sort of.

To make a long story short, the real Tripplehorn’s played by Mila Kunis and  James Franco have a jump drive (or as Tina Fey likes to call it… a computer sticky thingy) that is full of inappropriate pictures that involve the District Attorney and they were hoping to blackmail him. At this point, the real Tripplehorns decide to give the Fosters the flash drive and then they flee the city. The DA is working with a crime savvy “Moletto” (Ray Liotta) and his men are desperately trying to find the Fosters to obtain the computer sticky thing.

This goes on and on for a good hour and half and I’m sure you can guess how it ends but it’s well worth the money because of the chemistry between Carell and Fey and the comedy keeps trucking along at full force. I think I could actually see them being married to one another. There aren’t many down spots in this film, I just found myself waiting for the next one liner from Steve Carell, he’s awkwardly hilarious. I think I need to start watching The Office more. Tina Fey was very funny as well, the things that come out of her mouth are just incredible. I mean, who says stuff like… “I think I’m gonna go home and fart in a box.”

This movie is well worth seeing in theaters for a good laugh. Be sure to stick around during the credits to see a little extra blooper footage which is quite funny.

I am an animal lover and own two wonderful cats and one beautifully barrel shaped dog. I normally sleep on my stomach with my hands tucked underneath. I can't sit in Indian style cause it hurts too bad. I think it's really funny when people fall down stairs or just fall in general. Also... I'm a big fan of Tim Allen.
