Watched: Date Night - 2010



"A funny and surprisingly heartwarming film" was one of the many positive reviews I've seen of this movie and after an abortive trip to see Clash of the Titans we ended up at a screening here in Sydney.
The plot revolves around a couple - the Fosters - who go on weekly dates to keep the spark in their marriage. They decide on going to an upmarket restaurant, take someone elses reservation and then following a case of mistaken identity embark on a wild ride across New York being chased by gangsters and cops alike.
Steve Carell (The Office) and Tina Fey take the leads, leading to high hopes of some great comedic moments. This is where it all started to go wrong for me as the humour was lame and totally predictable at best - in fact, laughing for the first time during the closing credits.
Many times I've advised people to wait for a movie to go to DVD before viewing, I would change that in this case and advise people to wait for it to go to DVD and then choose to watch something else - anything else !!

Anyone else out there seen it ?
