Date Night - 10 stars out of 10
Aside from Carell and Fey portraying hilarious characters, Date Night manages to deliver a clever story, a lot of action, and a countless number of funny moments. The only movie that I feel falls into the same category as Date Night is Knight and Day, and this film was much more successful. Knight and Day was primarily action so the comedy seemed random and inappropriate; however, Date Night focuses on the comedy and tosses in several action sequences that compliment the humorous performances of Carell and Fey. The cameos by James Franco and Mila Kunis are hilarious, and Jimmi Simpson was the hidden gem in this film, bringing the perfect amount of grit and intensity to this comedy. In the end, Date Night is 100% comedy and 0% chick flick, yet it somehow manages to generate a few of the most incredibly romantic lines that I have ever experienced. Aside from the movie being absolutely hilarious, it?d be worth it just to hear Steve Carell deliver those final lines. Forget Dinner for Schmucks - this is the best Carell movie since Anchorman.
