Date Night

Tina Fey and Steve Carrell are funny. But they have to have material. This was 100 minutes of film with 30 minutes of action and 20 minutes of funny. I could tell that they had fun making certain scenes, but the plot was definitely developed as a string of situations that could put comedians in awkward situations that they should not know how to handle separated by dramatic pauses that would allow the audience to reflect on their own relationships. Probably the most unfortunate part of this is that it probably made enough money for us to expect Date Night 2.
2 stars (out of 5)
