Date Night - 2010

Starring:
Steve Carell (Evan Almighty), Tina Fey (SNL

Rating:
PG-13 for sexual and crude content throughout, language, some violence and drug reference

Movie Description:
In New York City, a case of mistaken identity turns a bored married couple's attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening into something more thrilling and dangerous.  Can they survive their date night and each other?

Review:
Personally I believe anyone who is or has ever been married will enjoy this movie.  It has the basic everyday married couple going through the motions, kids, work, house, babysitter and then it is time for their date night...and the laughs just keep on coming.  From the moment the movie started there were only maybe two or three parts that turned serious, the rest of the time the laughs were plenty.  Steve and Tina were the perfect, average couple who get pulled into one crazy, wild night they never expected.  It was also great to see other actors/actresses I love make appearences and just add more to the movie.  The acting was incredible by all involved, the sets were amazing and the storyline was original and held you in your seat. 

WARNING:  I feel I must issue a warning as the rating, PG-13, may give a false impression to some.  The F word is said once, and though the scene is perfect and very funny, you may want to watch the movie first before allowing your 13 + children to see it.

Aside from the language, which was not a huge problem for me, the movie was definately a keeper and I plan to owe it when it comes out.  Action, romantics and drama fans will like/love this movie, while sci-fi/fantasy fans may want to avoid..unless your married and/or have kids.

Thank you for reading,
