Give this movie a solid C-
Shame, as both main actors have such comic insights and abilities.
As this director has a track record of making c**p comedies, this is one more for his list.

I agree, it was just good enough. I too like her dvd expression better. I hope the extended version isnt the choppy kind and actually an extended cut. By choppy i mean, branching. Where u have to keep clicking at certain times to be taken to the new footage. Thats always frustrating for me. I may rent it to see the other footage, but its not worth a purchase IMO. It actually gets old rather fast.

Is Steve Carrell supposed to be holding something in his hands? He looks like he'd be holding his wife's purse or something. Interesting that they chose to make the background "actiony" with the fire and whatnot over the plain gray background from the movie poster.

I absolutely loved this film. Will pick up the Blu.

My wife and i found this movie to be really funny.  Now keep in mind we WERE the only ones laughing in the theater :D

This is not really a good movie, but its not a bad movie either. I laughed here and there, the car chase was hilarious. But this isn't anything memorable and will be forgotten in a couple months after its release. But its still good enough that I would watch it again.

You're spot on, even if I found the scene with James Franco and Mila Kunis quite good.

The director and the studio made many mistakes with the project and it's almost a miracle that such talented comedians still manage to be funny in some scenes. It shouldn't have been focused on the action/thriller side, more on the vague feeling that Carell and Fey had done something wrong by entering a world they don't belong to. It should have been R-rated to allow Carell and the rest of the bunch to use foul language. That's not often that I see a picture and think of simple fixes to make it better but "Date Night" was this kind of particular generic movie.

It's a sad world when an hack such as Shawn Levy transforms everything into harmless family-friendly stuff (check his filmography).
