Date Night: Extended Edition (Blu-ray)

I dont know why but for some reason i didnt want to watch this. Maybe my brain didnt want to ruin the gems of 40 year old virgin and anchorman.

But putting that aside. It all turned out for the better.

Steve Carell and Tina Fey put in an outstanding performance and worked extremely well together. The storyline was funny, with not so predictable events. And for me it just all seemed to flow quite well.

I dont see why others have rated this so low. But personally for the comical value of this and brilliant acting im giving it a 4/5

Date Night (2010) is an action comedy starring TV stars Steve Carell and Tina Fey. The supporting cast includes Ray Liotta, Leighton Meester, Mark Ruffalo, James Franco, Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg.

This movie was a chance for Carrell and Fey to prove they can headline a big-budget Hollywood movie. Unfortunately together they fail to deliver any chemistry and neither of them is particularly funny.

Director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) doesn't help them either with clumsy action scenes and awkward unfunny comedy. The only saving grace to this movie is a collection of fun cameos from the likes of Wahlberg, Ruffalo and Liotta.

On this evidence Carrell and Fey should stick to their TV shows The Office and 30 Rock. Date Night is an action comedy which isn't very funny or exciting.

Just like Dinner for Schmucks this is the Second big budget Steve Carrell comedy that has left me disappointed.
The premise if a couples weekly Date Night gone wrong was ok, but for a comedy it just wasn't funny enough.
It had it's moments, but is ultimately just a time pass kind of film.
Tina Fey and Steve Carrell were Ok, but have been much better.
The highlight was the Cameo of other actors who pop in, especially the hilarious and under rated Mark Whalberg.

This film was a disappointment as it wasn't all that funny and didn't have too much in the way of action. The blend didn't really mix and the whole thing seemed to drag on.

The main stars in the film just didn't hit the right spot and although well acted as you would expect the weak script gave them nothing to work with.

If you like your comedy silly then Stepbrothers, hangover, knocked up are all far better films for your money. However if you liked 40 year old virgin then you may just like this enough for a rent, either way rental is the way to go before comitting your cash to this rather boring non event of a film.
