When you get two talented performers who are known for making us laugh you would expect this movie to have a bundle of them, however the writing of this movie makes us movie goers simply think of the money that we wasted to get through the front door.

Date Night stars Tina Fay and Steve Carell as a likable couple who pretend to be a different couple in order to secure themselves a table at a busy restaurant.  However what the couple don’t realise is that the people that they are pretending to be are mob blackmailers.  So naturally the couple are targeted and hunted down by the mob to kill them.

Insert some corrupt cops and then the couple are in real trouble.  The acting chops of both Tina Fay and Steve Carell carry this movie, however having said that they carry this movie barely.  Fans of the office know how good Carell can be, however sadly to say Date Night is nothing like the office.

Overall Date Night is one of those movies that you will need to watch and leave your brain at the door, if you fail to do this then you will be highly disappointed, however if you take this movie with a pinch of salt and try not to take it too seriously then you will not be rewarded highly but the experience will be a little more bearable.  If you’re out on a Date then please whatever you do give this movie a miss, because if you don’t you won’t have much to talk about after it.

I award Date Night 2 out of 5 stars.
