Tina Fey and Steve Carell are two of the most charming performers in entertainment today. Their goofy attractiveness makes them a perfect couple in Date Night: an unremarkable husband and wife from New Jersey, they get mistaken for crooks in Manhattan, sending them on a wild night replete with snooty wait staff, crooked cops, glitter-specked strippers, a shirtless superspy (Mark Wahlberg, as buff as ever), and a preposterous car chase. The movie makes no effort to be remotely plausible and the last third really goes off the rails, and it would probably be better served by less familiar faces in minor roles (bit parts are played by Mark Ruffalo, Kristen Wiig, Common, James Franco, Mila Kunis, William Fichtner, and Ray Liotta). It's disappointing that the dialogue doesn't crackle the way it does on 30 Rock or The Office. But Fey and Carell carry the movie along through sheer nerdy pluck. Rarely does a couple in a movie seem genuinely devoted to each other, not out of wild passion, but for all the things that a real marriage is built on: patience, shared humor, a willingness to deal with day-to-day annoyances, and simple affection. Fey and Carell seem like a couple you'd actually enjoy going out to dinner with. In today's world, that's more romantic than sunsets and bouquets of roses. --Bret Fetzer

This movie had us laughing so hard for 2 scenes. Definitely related to couples well. Then every other scene was so crude that we had to skip half of it, they really didn't need to have such shock humour, it was funny without it. Anyhow, throwing the movie away.

Date Night brings together Steve Carell and Tina Fey - to star in a hilarious comedy that every married couple can relate to.
Phil and Clare are a married couple with children who go on a weekly date night routine to keep some spice in their marriage. During a book club meeting with friends, Phil and Claire discover that friends of theirs are divorcing because the flame has died in their marriage.
So the next date night Phil and Claire go to "the city" to a new restaurant Claire has read about, but are denied a table because they don't have reservations. While waiting at the bar, the couple hear a reservation called for the Triplehorn party, which no one replies to.
Phil decides to pretend they are the Triplehorn party, and that sets the stage for the rest of the movie- that is a wild adventure for Phil and Claire. A case of mistaken identity leaves the couple fighting for their life.
I don't want to give too much away, but both my husband and I laughed out loud during the entire movie.
A must see!

Carrell and Fey keep you laughing the entire movie's length - they are comic genius. Hilarious from start to finish ... watch it!
