Dragged down by the daily grind, suburbanites Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) try to invigorate their marriage by visiting a trendy Manhattan bistro. They get more than romance when mistaken identity hurtles them into an incredible adventure involving corrupt cops, a mob boss and a crazy cab driver.
Date Night

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An uneasy blend of action and comedy, Date Night doesn't quite live up to the talents of its two leads, but Steve Carell and Tina Fey still manage to shine through most of the movie's flaws.

The real stars of the film are [Steve] Carell and [Tina] Fey for bringing such goofy conviction to this goofball comedy, much better than the director's previous attempts at broad humour in the two Night at the Museum films. Go to Full Review

Hermione W Jan 19, 2019 Crazy and stupid, Date Night will make you laugh but toward the end it looses itself in unessesary crude jokes
Leia L Dec 30, 2018 I love Steve Carrell, I love Tina Fey, I didn't love this, however, there are some laughs and it is an easy watch,
Harry G Nov 8, 2018 This film was terrible.
Hagrid S Sep 4, 2018 it is purely benign and frankly off putting.. Date Night Date Night is a plot driven comic feature about a married couple who are fed up by compromising on little things and are ready to push the boundaries to recreate the fire between them. The makers wisely didn't install any forced humor that usually makes the viewers cringe on screen. It has made truce with its script that is intriguing enough to keep the audience invested in it. The weaving of the structure takes place on the screen in front of the audience and it is purely benign and frankly off putting. It not only takes away the heat from the material but neither breeds sincerity or crisp for it to draws even a chuckle. The physical comedy too fails disastrously in here leaving the makers cornered to rely upon the comic timing of the lead cast. The rapid ramblings of the lead couple whenever they are in trouble and their references and their charm to pull off awkward conversation is something to rely upon. Speaking of which they make less and less sense as it ages on screen, the dialogue grows cheesy and the conversations grows daft. It is short on technical aspects like background score, sound department, cinematography and editing and basically everything. It is poorly executed with a distracted vision and disruptive tone where the director Levy isn't even convincing the viewers for a second look. The performance is surprisingly dull and uneven throughout the course of it where neither Carell's awkwardness nor Tina's goofiness helps the feature. All the cameos fails to create the anticipated magic on screen as they literally aren't offered any material to feed off the audience. Date Night is contrary to its genre, a poignant and disappointing feature especially since it comes from the loved and respected cast who actually seems to have excelled with merit on such genre.

Anakin W Feb 11, 2018 In other hands, this probably wouldn't work. But, fey and Carrell are so great, it made everything else click. Some of the cameos were great, too. See more
Abraham S Jul 17, 2017 Steve Carell and Tina Fey are not all that funny on network television, but since it's TV, their shtick is still more enjoyable than 99% of what else is on. In Date Night, there is two full hours of these losers overplaying, underadlibbing and epically failing every line. The funniest thing about the movie is the complete lack of chemistry between the two leads. It's like watching a Saturday Night Live character reacting to a green screen visual effect. Perhaps Steve Carell and Tina Fey hate each other as much as we hate them. See more
