Date Night

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe it. Four months in and this is my first movie of 2010?! If all the 2010 movies are as great as Date Night (2010), then I am sure this will be a happy year. Surely, Date Night is the funniest movie to be released since The Hangover.
Phil and Claire Foster (Steve Carrell and Tina Fey) are a married couple who have their 'date night' once a year. This year they decide to go all out and go to a trendy restaurant. However, they are too late to make the reservation, so they steal someone else's. A decision which they regret, because the identity they have stolen are a wanted couple who have some important files. Phil and Claire are now on the run from two hit men type people, this is one date night they never bargained for.
Of course, Date Night was going to be funny because it has Steve Carrell and Tina Fey in it. But it was beyond funny. It has the one thing that makes a comedy good: quotable dialogue. And throw in cameos and support from such stars as Mark Wahlberg, Taraji P. Henson, William Fichtner, Leighton Meester, Kristen Wiig, Mark Ruffalo, James Franco and Mila Kunis, well this movie has got it covered. It succeeds in entertaining, combining action with comedy for a fun filled ride. A must see for 2010.
