Date Night
quick review:
You’ve loved Steve Carell and his voice-overs. And Tina Fey needs no introduction (Viewers of 30 Rock, rejoice!) Date Night fits the screwball comedy genre and is thankfully not just a series of gags, placed one after another. The punchlines are funny, as are the performances – a splendid one in a scene featuring Mark Wahlberg – and this isn’t surprising, coming from the director of comedies such as Just Married, Night at the Museum. Couples will love Date Night, especially considering it is a story about the dilemma of a suburban couple, as much as about the mess they get into. Not sure if you want to own it on DVD, but certainly rent it or borrow it.
This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.
Plot Summary
Date Night tells the story of a young married couple's crazy adventure one evening, when, desperate to have dinner at a fancy restaurant, they smartly occupy the table of another couple - the Tripplehorns - who fail to turn-up against their reservation.
Now mistaken as the Tripplehorns, Carell and Fey (the Fosters) are confronted by cops on the look-out for a flash drive. How the Fosters go about dodging them and eventually find a way to go back home, is what forms the rest of the film.

"Add to must watch list", "watch again and again and again". Seriously. It was a decent movie, nothing more than that. Typical Hollywood comedy with nothing special in it. There was nothing in it to justify the "must watch" tag that seems to have given rather generously.
It might have to do with the volume, but I do tend to notice the trend that all Hollywood movies are rated very favourably on wogma. Sorry, but most of them are not that great - I see too many "must watch" and "buy the dvd already" there. Seems like we Indians enjoy watching Bollywood nonsense (see the success of Golmaal 3, Housefull and compare it to mostly unfavourable reviews) but like praising all that is Hollywood.
@Rahul a reason why you might find more positive reviews on wogma for non-Hindi films is that they are mostly done by guest reviewers. And until now the reviewers chose what they reviewed, as in they'd review what they saw not necessarily seeing it to review the film for wogma. And naturally, more or less always, only the ones the reviewer liked got to wogma.
Hopefully, this trend will change now on. Since I have a few reviewers who have promised to review non-Hindi films every week. (*fingers crossed*) That should balance it out a bit.
this one is quite predictable to be honest
Disappointing second half.The best moments of the film came from the lead actors innovations as it doesn't seem they r going strictly by the script.
