Date Night

It's not that Date Night is disappointing, exactly - it's perfectly watchable, and even has a few laugh out loud moments - but it could have been so much better...Steve Carell I don't have any strong feelings about, but with Tina Fey alongside him, Mark Wahlberg and William Fichtner to play with, an extended cameo from James Franco and Mila Kunis (both of whom have caught my eye lately), and an early appearance by Mark Ruffalo to boot, the film has comedic talent to burn. But it never quite gels, caught perhaps between its zanier impulses and the desire to remain grounded in an emotionally real context involving its two central 'boring marrieds'.
