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.

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

You’ll leave Date Night having laughed a lot and wanting to hold hands with your loved one.
