Star couple

Date Night (2010)

American TV comedy unleashes it's dream team onto the big screen with Tina Fey and Steve Carell staring in this $55mil budget offering. A married couple want to break out of the rut their lives are in by going to dinner in the big city for a change, misunderstandings and criminal shenanigans ensue.

When you bring out the big guns to star in your film not only do you guarantee an audience but people are also going to expect a certain level of comedy and in my opinion this film falls short. While there are some laughs along the way this is not an especially funny film and that is a real disappoint given the talent on show. There are some decent cameos from the supporting cast and the film is generally well made but has nothing to make it stand out from a number of similar films.

3/5 acceptable but not much more.
