Quote: Filled with non-stop laughs and outrageous situations, Date Night follows Steve Carell (“The Office”) and Tina Fey (“30 Rock”) as a sensible, loving couple with two kids and a house in suburban New Jersey. Their typical date nights include a run-of-the-mill evening with little to no romance, but one night they decide to reignite the spark by going to Manhattan’s hottest new restaurant… without a reservation. What happens next is a wild ride that goes hilariously awry, as they embark on a dangerous series of crazy adventures to save their lives, and their marriage.

I found it HILARIOUS! A great time at the movies. It will easily be one of the funniest comedies of the year thanks to the two stars. They are the perfect team! Saw it twice and will buy the Blu-ray. Definitely surpassed my expectations. I was worried it would disappoint.
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 always thought he was trying to button up his shirt.
And I agree with the people who said Tina's expression is better on the DVD cover. I love people who are oblivious to what's right in front of them.

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.
This looked fun. Will rent.

I liked it.
I absolutely loved this film. Will pick up the Blu.
I thought this movie was going to be just OK, but I loved it! Never have I laughed so much in a film. I thought the film accomplished both the comedy aspect and action aspect. Definitely getting this.
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
Weird how the DVD cover changes from the BD in a close-up and in Tina Fey's face expression. I much prefer the DVD cover version.
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.
Heard this was only okay - not great. Might give it a rental.
Just curious about How to Train Your Dragon, where's that?

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).
