Synopsis: Action-comedy maestro Shawn Levy, the director of the blockbuster "Night at the Museum" franchise, teams up with two of the comedy world's biggest talents, Steve Carell ("The 40 Year Old Virgin," "The Office") and Tina Fey ("Baby Mama," "30 Rock," "SNL") for an adventure that turns a run-of-the-mill married couple's date upside down -- way upside down, in DATE NIGHT.
The Justvim crew feels that this is a competent and engaging little comedy that delivers on its premise without demanding more from the audience than their enjoyment. Fey and carrel did a wondrous job in entertaining and keeping their fake on-screen marriage a lovely joy to witness. It was almost like experiencing how awkward every foible they made and how hilarious every joke they crack.Unapologetically funny but pathetically realistic, we are hoping enough couples chose it as their date night fodder so the naturally entertaining Carell and Fey get to do it all over again. It was worth the laugh at certain bits of the movie, with its incredibly frank and blunt blunders, that was perfect for a few guffaws.
One minute its forced slapstick, the next it's a bullet-riddled car chase--and neither could prevent a wave of laughter and giggles from the audience behind and around us. The scene where renown poet common made a comment “get up, now” sounded absolutely and eerily similar when carrel imitated him at the Manhattan bistro. It was a plus scene that raised the hilarity level to almost radiantly toxic.
The crew will admit that we laughed out loud several times during this film, for it plain stupidity and absurd motions at times, and the blunt foibles committed by the characters on-screen. Special mention to the crazy pole-dancing ceremony the couples did for the corrupt Politian and his broom, come on! Who brings a broom to a nightclub with all the chicks and the alcohol?
Both Carell and Fey do a great job working with the rest of the cast, but it was the realistic humour and absurd mistakes that made the film score with most of the peeps.
Somehow, in an act of sheer alchemy, this silly, preposterous, absurd story has been turned into one of the funniest movies seen by so many in many months. Call it weird or karma, but this film is sure the bucks you pay to get in the cinema, if you are looking for some laughs and spending time with good company.
The best part about it? They are always armed with an innocence, a clever quip, and a handy escape route. In other words, it sounds like a big action film with built in coincidences that are sure to annoy the hardened action junkie. Fortunately, this is a romantic comedy with an action component. Sure, it feels familiar, but it is delivered with a couple of familiar faces doing what they do best.
Turning in its share of laugh out loud moments, Date Night, a return to the comedy caper films of years ago, owes much to the wit and sharp improved skills of stars Fey and Carell. Naturally some scenes were choppy and cliche, like the sudden entrance of the cops at the end, guess the director yelled “wrap it up boys!”, but overall, it was a realistically beautiful film that depicts a lot of reality and the ups and downs of an urban couple in today’s society.
Through their conquests, they faced real, hardening, touching and romantic issues that tested, strengthened and crystallized their unconditional love for each other. Seeing scenes like the broken but deeply romantic mr and mrs triplehorns tongue-kissing experience, the talk in the ridiculously-wasted audi R8 sports car, witnessing their own friends, happily married couples splitting after years (…just excellent room-mates…) and hallbrook grant’s amazingly hot Israeli girlfriend, perfectly chiselled body and extraordinary lifestyle, really makes you wonder about your own life.
Go figure, have a beer and chill out for a minute. Stop the stressing, stop the dissing, love for bit.
