Date Night

Finally a comedy for adults, starring adults, written by adults!  Can we have more of these, please?  My husband and I went to see Date Night on our own date night and we laughed out loud!  Tina Fey and Steve Carrell play a “boring married couple from Jersey” who venture out to Manhattan for a rare evening in the city.  This is supposed to be their “date night,” a time to re-connect and cut loose from the daily routine of life in suburbia.  In a case of mistaken identity, they end up flung into high crime, being pursued by both the bad guys and the police.  One of the funniest car chases I’ve seen is involved.  Of course, this is a comedy, so all’s well that end’s well – but in this case, the journey is much more fun than the destination.  I hope to see more from these two!
