Date Night

Carell and Fey Rock!  Where you are in life really impacts what you get out of a film or can relate to in a film.  Of course, there are films like "Saving Private Ryan" which I can't relate to on a personal level, but I did get a hell of a lot out of.  I am married and have 2 boys and wow, I was like, yeah, I have been there.  For me, the best part of the film was the scene in which Fey and Carell are in Wahlberg's (pseudo stolen) Audi (and what the hell is with Audi and the product placement: "Iron Man," this movie, "I, Robot," and knocking BMW out of "The Transporter" series?) and Fey's and Carell's characters come clean about what they have become but what they were and are is still in them.

The movie was good with the action but really good due to the leads: a not extraordinary couple who seek to recapture a bit of what they were and seek to at least put a crack in what they have become by "living on the edge" a bit.  Only problem is that the "living on the edge" tip toe they pull ends up pushing them way over the edge.  Lastly, after all is said and done, they return home to their lives and realize that they aren't missing anything and that what they have is far better than what the "exciting people" have....except for Wahlberg's character.

Cinematography was fine, directing was good, and the acting, well, a few schlurb shots once in awhile, but not enough to make you want to bail on a scene.  The writing was great.   If you are married, thinking of it, have kids, etc...SEE THIS.  If you aren't married, don't have kids, and are above 21, see this and see the your future...ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa!
