Date Night

2010 comedy

Rating: 8/20 (Jennifer: 11/20)

Plot: A couple a little bored with their married life have a night of adventure when they take another person's reservation on their titular night, a simple act which sets off a chain of events that involve them being chased by some punks searching for a computer file.

Not a single laugh to be had here. I like both Steve Carell and Tina Fey just fine, but somebody forgot to give them a script. There's probably a clever idea for a comedy here, something with enough action for the dudes and romance for the ladies, but this couldn't survive as just a clever idea. That's the problem with these contemporary comedies. It's like they just go through the motions. Oh well. At least you get to see Marky Mark's nips for extended periods of time.

I thought the Marky Mark scenes, with Tina Fey drooling over him, were the only decent parts of this movie. Thats it, otherwise a complete waste of some decent talent.

I give it a ten. Just for Mr. Wahlburg.
