Fresh and Exciting
Beautiful, moving film.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
A well developed comedy stirred up with some action and romance. A can't miss surefire comedic teaming of Steve Carrell and Tina Fey as the married couple The Fosters. A modern everyday American husband and wife who have fallen into the marriage rut of same day, same time, same everything, to routine. On the spur of the moment night they decide to hit the fanciest dinner spot in the city. No reservations, no problem, they improvise and steal some other couples reservation and enjoy an incredible dinner. Here is where the fun begins as they are mistaken for another couple and craziness ensues. The writing in this film is brilliant with one liners and zany dialogue between characters. A plethora of amazing cast ensemble with Mark Wahlberg, Taraji P. Henson, James Franco, William Fichtner, Mila Kunis, Ray Liotta, Common, Jimmi Simpson, Kristen Wiig, Gal Gadot, Olivia Munn and Mark Ruffalo. It is funny, laugh out loud comedic brilliance, great editing and direction.I firmly give this a 7 out of 10 as it was good, NOT great, funny, but NOT bust a gut laughable.
In New York City, a case of mistaken identity turns a bored married couple's attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening into something more thrilling and dangerous. Date Night mostly suceeds to Steve Carell's and Tina Fey's charm and chemistry but some of the laughs were a bit of a miss and hit. The cameos were also a bit on and off with me for example Wahlberg was good and so was Gal Gadot but some others? like J.B. Smoove, Mila Kunis and James Franco were weird and not even funny. Overall there are some nice chuckles, 2 great leads and some good cameos but it could have been better to be honest. (6/10)
Carell and Fey are the Fosters, an average married couple with children, living in the burbs. After long days working and taking care of their children they do not have enough energy left for romance, not even on their "date night", which seems a compulsory weekly event.One night they decide to dress up and go to New York, rather than to their local restaurant. They want to dine in a fancy place, but without a reservation they are forced to wait at the bar until the opportunity arises to "steal" the reservation of a no-show couple.This premise is already pretty thin: who would actually go without reservation to a fancy restaurant on a Friday night, hoping somehow to "squeeze in"? What follows is yet another take on the mistaken identity theme, done many times before and much better (should I mention "North by Northwest"?)Mistaken for a couple of petty criminals the Fosters have a series of unfunny adventures with cops and criminals. Taraji P. Henson and Ray Liotta are in the supporting cast. Guess who's the criminal and go with the most predictable option.I saw several Carell's movies and most are hit or miss. With a decent plot, Carell can be very funny in his deadpan way. This was not a good plot but a series of gags that could easily be disconnected: meeting with beefy, rich guy to make hubby jealous; pretending to be a pole dancer; the inevitable car chase, etc .The attempt to squeeze in some "daily wisdom for married couples" further ruined any chance to actually enjoy the story. Disappointing.
This movie is excellent. It's so funny and the storyline is intriguing and this movie always gives you moments when you go, "Wow, did that really just happen?"This movie is about a simple married couple, Phil and Claire. They have been married for years and they are getting a little bored of their average day. Taking care of the kids, going to work, coming home, having dinner, going to bed. They decide to have date night, hence the title, in New York City. Normally they don't do something as wild, but after he heard about a friends' divorce thanks to them being in a rut, Phil decides to make this date night extra special. And it is. The night turns into a thrill ride with dangerous people after them, after they are mistaken for other people, and they must run all around the city, escaping the thugs and getting home in time to see their kids wake up.Do they say the title of the movie, in the movie: Yes, they do.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.
