DATE NIGHT

“THE RARE SCREWBALL COMEDY THAT IS HILARIOUS FROM START TO FINISH.” –USA Today

 The man who thinks that his wife can't take a joke sometimes forgets that his wife took him. Date Night, a tour-de-farce with Steve Carell and Tina Fey as a couple in a marital rut, ticklishly ribs such maxims. Here are a mild-mannered New Jersey mom and dad - a Realtor and an accountant! - confused for shakedown artists, a case of mistaken identity that launches them on a Manhattan misadventure. In addition to Carell and Fey, Date Night boasts a deft supporting cast that includes Mark Wahlberg, as Claire's hunky ex-client and Ray Liotta as a none-too-bright wiseguy. Best of all are a very droll James Franco and Mila Kunis as downtown hipsters. --Philadelphia Inquirer
