Dragged down by the daily grind, suburbanites Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) try to invigorate their marriage by visiting a trendy Manhattan bistro. They get more than romance when mistaken identity hurtles them into an incredible adventure involving corrupt cops, a mob boss and a crazy cab driver.

Critics Consensus

An uneasy blend of action and comedy, Date Night doesn't quite live up to the talents of its two leads, but Steve Carell and Tina Fey still manage to shine through most of the movie's flaws.

The real stars of the film are [Steve] Carell and [Tina] Fey for bringing such goofy conviction to this goofball comedy, much better than the director's previous attempts at broad humour in the two Night at the Museum films.

Their marriage seems real but their predicament feels like no more than a scriptwriter's invention.

B-

... Date Night is the fun, lighthearted comedy that the two TV heroes needed to reclaim their box office status.

Date Night becomes a routine action movie with jailbreak shots and car crashes. [Full review in Spanish]

The whole thing is just cynical anti-relationship propaganda, in which everything negative about the main couple's relationship is grounded in reality, but everything they do to rectify their issues is a series of ridiculous events that would never happen. The writers use this same trick to emasculate men in the movie. The only realistic male character is Phil Foster (Steve Carell) and Phil is the one constantly being put down in front of his wife. The only counterbalance for this are manlier characters who are completely unrealistic, and as such fail to make the same impression. Then there's the ever oddly-placed and awkward pro-lsraeI normalization propaganda just shoehorned in via the dialogue during the cameo from Gal Gadot. Too much of the personal proclivities and agenda of the writer and director found expression in the proceedings when they should have just been focusing on comedy and entertainment. I don't think my wife or I laughed even once the entire movie.

What a ridiculously fun night! Steve Carell's innocent goofiness deserves its own genre. Never gets old. Just nonstop laughs & endless chaos!!

Date Night serves up a silly little raunchy comedy that relies heavily on the charm of its lead duo to elevate its fairly standard premise. While it manages to deliver a decent enough mix of chaotic energy , it ultimately feels pretty typical of the Steve Carell comedies that were coming out at the time, offering familiar comfort rather than breaking any new ground.

Boring and a vein of misogyny running through it that's quite tiresome.
