Date Night

This movie was I guess a comedy, but it wasn't really full of jokes, or moments that were going for humor. It was trying to convey a moral or a lesson maybe, but the movie wasn't heartfelt. Overall, it missed an emotional and dramatic flare giving the affect of a sterile movie. Also, both of the comedians in this film, Steve Carell and Tina Fey are kind of straight men. They needed someone more goofy to offset their straight man comedy. Watching the two of them is like watching I Love Lucy without a Lucille, but with two Ricardos. (Ricardo being the "straight man" of the duo.) It would have been a much funnier movie if they had a goofy person like Lucy offsetting a serious type like Ricardo.

The movie is about a married couple who are getting along okay, but are very tired with their packed schedule. Despite this packed schedule, they still go out on date nights. Their date nights are usually lame, and unhip. But, when they hear that another married couple that they are friends with are getting a divorce; because their love life got too boring, and they were more like good roommates than a couple....they decide to have a more glamorous date night in New York City.

A case of mistaken identity has them running for their lives from bad cops working for the mob because they believe they stole a flash drive from them that contains incriminating evidence. It is basically an adventure of life or death for a married couple on a date from New Jersey late at night in New York City.

It has a few funny scenes, but overall it felt like an action flick. But, it didn't seem that real, which made it uninteresting. Other people said it was hilarious. I don't know where I was, but I missed that hilarious vein somehow.
