Dragged down by the daily grind, suburbanites Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) try to invigorate their marriage by visiting a trendy Manhattan bistro. They get more than romance when mistaken identity hurtles them into an incredible adventure involving corrupt cops, a mob boss and a crazy cab driver.

Critics Consensus

An uneasy blend of action and comedy, Date Night doesn't quite live up to the talents of its two leads, but Steve Carell and Tina Fey still manage to shine through most of the movie's flaws.

The real stars of the film are [Steve] Carell and [Tina] Fey for bringing such goofy conviction to this goofball comedy, much better than the director's previous attempts at broad humour in the two Night at the Museum films.

Their marriage seems real but their predicament feels like no more than a scriptwriter's invention.

... Date Night is the fun, lighthearted comedy that the two TV heroes needed to reclaim their box office status.

Date Night becomes a routine action movie with jailbreak shots and car crashes. [Full review in Spanish]

Date Night serves up a silly little raunchy comedy that relies heavily on the charm of its lead duo to elevate its fairly standard premise. While it manages to deliver a decent enough mix of chaotic energy , it ultimately feels pretty typical of the Steve Carell comedies that were coming out at the time, offering familiar comfort rather than breaking any new ground.

Boring and a vein of misogyny running through it that's quite tiresome.

Not a bad watch. Had a few solid laughs and very well done acting.

Date Night surprised me with how much fun it is. It is silly, over the top, and funny throughout. A boring couple stuck in a marriage rut wants to spice things up by going on a fancy date in the city. They take a reservation that doesn't belong to them and things go off the rails for them which truly spices up their night and life to a point that they just want to go back to their boring and loving life.

For someone who Never laughs at movies I laughed quite a few times. Really some silly lines which I like, silly that is. Plus great actors. The story line is beside the point, but it actually has one. Just enjoy the nonsense, forget your troubles, laugh.

Very funny and it's definitely a fan favourite type. It's the best Mark Wahlberg movie one will ever see.
