Date Night Reviewed

Available here.

Date Night would have been really, really shitty without Fay and Carell. I mean, “dude falls into the shitheap in Slumdog Millionaire” shitty. Every time I thought to myself “Self, this side plot is utterly worthless” or “Hey, that joke failed to work for the fifth straight time,” the leads made me laugh and my objections temporarily boiled away. This might be the best example I’ve seen of a talented cast saving a talentless production.
