Date Night – Movie Review

Steve Carell and Tina Fey star as the Fosters, a suburban couple who has settled into a routine in life. There is no spontaneity and week after week life has become completely predictable. One weekly scheduled event that has become part of this routine is a date night in which they go out to dinner, just the two of them, without their kids. However, instead of what used to be a time to enjoy each other and spend time together it has turned into a planned event with no surprises. One particular evening they plan to “live a little” and break out of the routine. It quickly goes from a night of “living a little” to “living a LOT” after they are mistaken for someone else by a group of criminals.

I found the movie very funny and entertaining. I enjoy everything Steve Carell has done, and find his style of humor very amusing. Him being coupled with Tina Fey was even better.

The movie has  PG-13 rating which it deserves. The language can be a little strong at times and there are a few adult scenes. This is definitly not a movie to take the young ones too. However, if you are in the mood for a good laugh then go out and catch “Date Night”.
