Date Night is a stupidity movie with randomly unfunny scenes. Carell and Fey weren't that funny in the movie. The lines and the script were pretty dull and not quite chuckle.

The lines and the script were pretty dull and not quite chuckle. I wasn't even laughing in the theater,when I saw some audiences were not laughing and have awkward chuckles,but little bit people were laughing that much. If only Carell and Fey could be more funny should be done written perfectly on this movie,not kid-friendly dull unfunny scenes in this stupid movie. I know that I seem too harsh for a good movie on Rotten Tomatoes and to all those critics who like this,but there you'll go,Date Night I can't live without.… Expand

Steve Carrel and Tina Fey are a boring and suburban married couple in "Date Night"

Review

You would suspect the king and queen of comedy would produce a better movie then "Date Night" ..... but they don't.

Here's the premise: a boring married couple out in the suburbs of Jersey, decide they want to go out, have a night to remember. So they go into the New York City to this insanely expensive restaurant. The only problem is they don't have a reservation, so what do they do? They take one, of course (cause so many people do that). Anyways they take this reservation only to find out the reservation they took belongs to this debt owing couple.

Two thugs come up and take them outside and the story goes on from there. "Date Night" delivers hardly any laughs and you would think Carrel and Fey would bring something to the table here. It's really disappointing to see these two comic wonders be stuck in such a flat and poorly written so called "comedy".

I will say though the one up side to this film are the cameos by all the different actors, it kinda reminds you of all the better films they have been in. James Franco, Mila Kunis, Ray Liotta, Mark Wahlberg and J.b. Smoove almost save the film to it's ultimate demise, but "Date Night" is slow paced, boring and extremely predictable, do yourself a favor and pass on this very mediocre movie.

Instead go out and rent "The 40 Year Old Version" (Carell) or "Mean Girls" (Fey) both infinitely better films then this one.

This movie was excruciatingly bad. Tina Fey and Steve Carell have been funny ... but not here (Tina Fey's portrayal of Sarah Palin, for example). This is the only movie in my life where I looked at my watch to see how much longer this This movie was excruciatingly bad. Tina Fey and Steve Carell have been funny ... but not here (Tina Fey's portrayal of Sarah Palin, for example). This is the only movie in my life where I looked at my watch to see how much longer this dog was going to bark. James Franco and Mark Wahlberg give adequate performances.Not even they could save this mess. There were twenty seconds of almost amusing outtakes at the very end as the credits mercifully rolled.… Expand

Love Steve & Tina long time. Went in with great expectations, full of good cheer, ready to laugh until my gut exploded. I sat there for 90 minutes, waiting waiting waiting to laugh.

Date Night

Date Night is a plot driven comic feature about a married couple who are fed up by compromising on little things and are ready to push the boundaries to recreate the fire between them. The makers wisely didn't install any forced humor that usually makes the viewers cringe on screen. It has made truce with its script that is intriguing enough to keep the audience invested in it. The weaving of the structure takes place on the screen in front of the audience and it is purely benign and frankly off putting. It not only takes away the heat from the material but neither breeds sincerity or crisp for it to draws even a chuckle. The physical comedy too fails disastrously in here leaving the makers cornered to rely upon the comic timing of the lead cast. The rapid ramblings of the lead couple whenever they are in trouble and their references and their charm to pull off awkward conversation is something to rely upon. Speaking of which they make less and less sense as it ages on screen, the dialogue grows cheesy and the conversations grows daft. It is short on technical aspects like background score, sound department, cinematography and editing and basically everything. It is poorly executed with a distracted vision and disruptive tone where the director Levy isn't even convincing the viewers for a second look. The performance is surprisingly dull and uneven throughout the course of it where neither Carell's awkwardness nor Tina's goofiness helps the feature. All the cameos fails to create the anticipated magic on screen as they literally aren't offered any material to feed off the audience. Date Night is contrary to its genre, a poignant and disappointing feature especially since it comes from the loved and respected cast who actually seems to have excelled with merit on such genre.… Expand
