Tartalmak(1)
Phil és Claire Foster tipikus középosztálybeli házaspár, két gyerekkel és egy kertvárosi házzal. Hogy szerelmüket ébren tartsák, minden héten "randiznak" egymással. Egy idő után persze ez is egysíkúvá válik, így már előjátéknak is kevés az esti hancúrozáshoz. Phil ezért újít, Manhattan legelőkelőbb éttermébe viszi nejét kikapcsolódni. Asztalt azonban nem foglalt, így jobb híján másnak adja ki magukat. A bibi, hogy a Tripplehorn házaspár rossz fát tett a tűzre. Így aztán a romantikus estének lőttek, és a sajátos párterápia nem várt fordulatot vesz. Már nem Fosterék házassága, hanem az életük a tét. (SuperTV2)

An incredibly likeable and undemanding comedy. Sometimes you need to switch off and let yourself be entertained and that’s what Date Night is for. Needless to say, the film relies on Lemon’s brilliant comedic performance. 7/10

Bad actors, a stupid plot, and overall not a very funny comedy. I'm glad I'm over it!! Lately I’m wondering if I’m just biased against Mr. Steve Carell, but I don't feel any charisma from him.

Date Night is ultimately just an average comedy with undemanding humor, but it still has some advantages that give me positive feelings. A solid cast with professional acting performances, humor that never descends into the depths, and above all, its content appeals more to middle-aged viewers like myself. On one hand, it's an action comedy and there are plenty of those, but the other aspect that makes fun of marriage fatigue, the rushed pace of life, rituals, and stereotypes of middle-class couples in their forties is something I perfectly understand, and I find the film likable for the same reason teenagers find teen comedies likable, despite their problematic content. Overall impression: 55%.

Two and a half stars because Steve Carell and Tina Fey are good comedians, but they need a capable script too. I don't like this current trend of "let them improvise the whole film, they will surely come up with something funny if we didn't". Moreover, Date Night was directed by failed comedy specialist Shawn Levy, and it was certainly his idea to shoot over half the film with a frantically (and unnecessarily) shaky digital camera. Still, there are some funny moments - for example, the eternal bumping into open drawers, Carell's references to Mark Wahlberg without a shirt, or the truly original (definitely the most original scene in the film) car chase.

The one thing that truly stood out and didn't disappoint was the casting. However, the story felt naively silly, and I found myself unable to laugh at most of the supposed funny moments. The moments when the two main characters analyzed their relationship even left me bored. Thankfully, Taste and Whippit saved the day, and the absence of the Holbrook Grant t-shirt played a big part in my rating (that part was genuinely enjoyable). I can see how this film could be an entertaining comedy, but it definitely needs more work on the script. / Lesson learned: Want to have a peaceful and relaxed life? Use contraception.

Steve Carell and Tina Fey entertained me immensely here, and as a couple, they were a great match. The film also has other positives. First and foremost is the fact that there are great actors in both major and minor roles. It doesn't lack excellent humor and great scenes, especially those involving the married couple, which are well-executed and hit close to home.
