Date Night

Without question, the funniest movie to come out in 2010 so far is Date Night. I, like everyone else in the world, LOVE Tina Fey and Steve Carell. I went in to this movie with mid-level expectations which were far exceeded. The movie is hilarious but it also has a nice story line. So much of the movie seems ad-libbed, which it may be, but it also really says something about the writing. (Note: stay for the credits and the bloopers which are almost funnier than the movie itself. Also, look for much more of Mark Wahlberg than the previews suggested, playing the typical role of himself without a shirt on.

Compared to other successful comedy movies that have come out in the past few years, this one absolutely measures up but it is far cleaner (not totally clean) and more family friendly (still PG-13) than all the rest. If you like these two great actors, comedians, and writers then you will like this movie. It is a definite go-see in my book.
