The film is about a couple, Mr and Mrs Foster (Steve Carrell & Tina Fey), who are going through a minor crisis in their marriage, and apparently out for a quiet night. They go to a restaurant, but they haven’t reserved a table, so he comes up with taking the seats from a couple who haven’t arrived yet. Actually, the table has been reserved by Mr and Mrs Tripplehorn, two robbers who have been arrested by two corrupted policemen.
Like the Tripplehorns, Foster gets into trouble and, unwittingly, the couple are involved in many adventures all night long, including persecutions by the police. The film ends with a romantic, passionate kiss, as most “rom coms” do.
Personally, I’m really into romance, so I really liked Date Night. Before watching it, I thought it’d be just another classic romantic film. However, it wasn’t because of the mixture of adventure and love. I strongly recommend it, especially if you are looking for a different romantic comedy.
Thanks a lot, Sara! Honestly, I don't remember the film too well but I've always liked Steve Carrell's comic vein (The Office is brilliant!) and Tina Fey is a lovely comedy actress indeed. I really laughed my head off while watching her impersonations of Sara Palin on Saturday Night Live, simply hilarious! So perhaps I should watch Date Night again ...
