Movie Review: Date Night

Date Night is not the funniest movie ever. It's also not the most realistic. With that being said I still really liked it. Date Night stars Steve Carell and Tina Fey as a middle class married couple who feels like their marriage is in a rut. In an attempt to spice things up they head to New York City for a date night, and things quickly go from bad to worse.

Even though Date Night is not the best movie ever there are a couple of things that I loved about it. Number one I love Steve Carell and Tina Fey. I think they take a C grade movie and turn it into an A. The second thing that I love is the fact that Date Night celebrates marriage. It's rare to find a movie these days where a married couple really loves each other. I love that the characters in the film have a weekly date night. I also really liked the cameos by some decent sized stars. The scenes with Mark Wahlberg were very funny.

Date Night is rated PG-13 for some swears. It also has a scene where the main characters go to a gentleman's club. I hated that they went, but there is no nudity. I give it one thumb up.

Rob's Rating System: Two Thumbs up = I loved it, worth paying full price, and I will own it on DVD.
One Thumb up = An OK movie, worth a matinee showing, and I may buy it on DVD if I see it in the $5 bin.
Thumb to the side = Wait and rent it. I wouldn't be mad if someone gave me this DVD, but I wouldn't buy it.
Thumbs down = I hated it, wish I wouldn't have wasted money on it, wouldn't own it on DVD
