Date Night is one of the worst movies I've seen in a few years. Don't see it. Any funny jokes appear in the trailers. The rest of the movie seems like something written by a woman in her 50s intended for a movie starring Diane Keaton and Steve Martin. You know what I mean.

Steve Carell and Tina Fey can both be hilarious people but they can only do so much with what they're given in this movie. I started out chuckling a tiny bit at some of the early jokes, most of which were witticisms rather than situational comedy. But as soon as their characters, The Fosters, are confused with the people whose restaurant reservation they stole, it's all downhill.

It only took about twenty minutes for me to turn and apologize to Ric for asking him to go see the movie with me--and we only paid $2 each for our tickets. I do admit that some of Mark Whalberg's scenes were funny, but even the "put on a shirt" jokes got old quickly. I think that was another big flaw of the movie, which tried to repeat jokes or themes often that weren't all that clever in the first place.

I hate, hate, hated this movie. Sorry Tina Fey, Liz Lemon is still my hero!
