Date Night

Ratings: 7.0/10
Film Class: B

Genre: Comedy

A bored married couple who has been together for a long time goes into the city in hope of getting seats at one of the top restuarants. However, the restaurant was fully booked but the husband Phil (Steve Carell), not wanting to spoil their "date night", decided to take the reservation of a couple who didn't turn up. An innocent date night turned out to be a nightmarish adventure for the two due to a mistaken identity and how they had to pit their wits against a crime lord and his underlings.

It was a fairly light-hearted movie despite its heavy storyline, all thanks to the hilarious couple Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Tina Fey is the bimbolic wife of an unreliable husband, Steve Carell. But through this unexpected demise, they gradually learn to see the strengths of each other and to rekindle the dying passion which once brought them together. Don't get me wrong, the couple isn't on the verge of breakup (unlike most other movies), but it carries with it a hint of truth behind the mandanity of a long-term marriage and how each partner tends to be more fixated on the weaknesses and start being oblivious to the strengths of each other (just like in a relationship).

Though the situation they were in seemed a little exaggerated, I really liked the heart-warmingly predictable storyline and most importantly, the "aw" moments and the numerous laughables scenes in this movie. Not fantastic, but an excellent movie to light up a bad day.
