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. A case of mistaken identity turns their attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening into something more thrilling and dangerous.

Ultimately, and thankfully, it's saved by its stars, who carry it all to safety as often as they can.April 09, 2010
Its slapstick story of a married couple enduring outrageous fortune offers a lot of laughs, a bit of romance and plenty for either sex to relate to.April 12, 2010
In three or four scenes, they get a rhythm going, but the editing is smash-and-bash. Shawn Levy is not a director who honors performers' rhythms.November 05, 2011
... Works as an action-comedy precisely because its characters do not know they are in either a comedy or an action movie.September 28, 2012
Date Night is only ever moderately funny; partially entertaining; quite exciting. It bears the mark of a cinematic no-mark; a bland director whose cast members deserve way better than him.October 01, 2012
As believable as the story is, it's strange that the filmmakers didn't do more with the talent they had on hand.April 22, 2010
Fey and Carell are better than this, but when the other options in the action-romcom territory include such efforts as The Bounty Hunter, who's complaining?April 08, 2012
Levy knows better to simply stay out of the dynamic duo's way and let them do their proven thing.April 12, 2010
Fey, in particular, finds herself in the situation of a prima ballerina unaccountably dancing with the Rockettes.April 09, 2010
Tina Fey is really funny. Steve Carell is really funny. Date Night stars Tina Fey and Steve Carell. Ergo, Date Night must be really ... sorry, I wish it worked that way almost as much as the studios do. But no.January 03, 2011
Fey, in particular, seems uncomfortable with the shenanigans.October 07, 2016
One can only fantasize about what a comedy starring Fey and Carrell would be like if the pair did the writing as well.
