Date Night

Hillarious!!!  :-) This was truly an enjoyable comedy in all aspects but what it comes down to is the chemistry between Tina Fey and Steve Carell.  I must admit, I have been a Steve Carell fan for a while now, ever since I saw him in Evan Almighty.  Tina Fey on the other hand, I had less experience with, not normally a big fan of Saturday Night Live.   I was pleasantly surprised though as her comedic timing was a match for Carell's and they were able to play well off each other.  What was great was that these two were TOTALLY believable as a married couple.  I could actually see these two being married in real life.  Then they took it further and continued to play that way, despite the extraordinary circumstances the movie plot line put them through.  Often times when you watch these "fish out of water" comedies.. it becomes some what surreal as the character's don't react as they should when you think about the situation they are in.  In real life if things happened like they do in movies.. the couple would freak out.. or at least be scared out of there wits and alot of times in movies the characters don't portray this.  Carell and Fey were able to pull this off.   YES, they were in somewhat unbelievable circumstances.. but they acted like they should.. and just let the hilarity of the situation and GREAT one liners make the scene.  Lastly there was nothing overly "out there" in the story.   The plot flowed, logically from start to finish, without asking for the audience to stretch there imaginations too much to think that this could possibly happen.  On the whole a GREAT story/plot line and FANTASTIC acting make this movie truly enjoyable.  (4.5/6.0)
