Date Night

Clever, Clever, Clever. This film blew me away the first time I saw it, but it really came together the second time around. I have seen 2 times in a week and it cracked me up both times. It, in my opinion, is the closest Hollywood has come to portraying married life as reality and not fairy tale. These married people, played by the awesomely comedic Steve Carell and Tina Fey, are worried about being in a rut so they go to the city for a nice dinner. Unable to get into the restaurant, they decide to steal someone else's reservation because they were no shows. This turns into a running gag throughout which is hysterical. Marky Mark doesn't "make" the movie, but he awesome as the private security specialist Holbrook Grant. he helps our power couple sort out the problems they are facing. The film revolves around mistaken identity which comes from the reservation they stole. It is a brilliant comedy acted to perfection. Tina Fey may be the funniest female on earth. Steve Carell basically plays the same character in every film he is in, but this one works extremely well for him. It is one of the funniest comedies I have seen in a while, and I may own this one. The comedy is definitely present, but what about other cinematic aspects? Action? Absolutely. When Curbs Your Enthusiasm's Leon shows up as a cabbie, we enter one of the funniest scenes in the entire film. You will have to watch it to understand. Too buzzed to explain. Do not neglect this film. If you are married, you will enjoy how it strikes the nail on the head. If you are not married, you will still probably enjoy it, but you will probably think that when you get married it will  not be this way. Think again. It turns out to be a good thing. Monotonous is really kind of awesome.
