Dragged down by the daily grind, suburbanites Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) try to invigorate their marriage by visiting a trendy Manhattan bistro. They get more than romance when mistaken identity hurtles them into an incredible adventure involving corrupt cops, a mob boss and a crazy cab driver.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An uneasy blend of action and comedy, Date Night doesn't quite live up to the talents of its two leads, but Steve Carell and Tina Fey still manage to shine through most of the movie's flaws.

Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 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. Rated: 2/5 Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Anna Smith metro.co.uk Their marriage seems real but their predicament feels like no more than a scriptwriter's invention. Rated: 2/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online ... Date Night is the fun, lighthearted comedy that the two TV heroes needed to reclaim their box office status. Rated: B- Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review You’ll leave Date Night having laughed a lot and wanting to hold hands with your loved one. Rated: 3/4 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Date Night becomes a routine action movie with jailbreak shots and car crashes. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Stuart McGurk NME (New Musical Express) It's still fun, just don't give up a date for it... Rated: 6/10 May 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Sarah C For someone who Never laughs at movies I laughed quite a few times. Really some silly lines which I like, silly that is. Plus great actors. The story line is beside the point, but it actually has one. Just enjoy the nonsense, forget your troubles, laugh. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Gordo R Very funny and it's definitely a fan favourite type. It's the best Mark Wahlberg movie one will ever see. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Audience Member ugh. Tina Fey seems great when writing for TV but falters mightily when it comes to the big screen. This movie blows. Its not funny, I didn't even laugh once, and the premise is contrived and predictable. Carrel, who I love= phoned this one in. He had the energy and enthusiasm of a man wondering what he is still doing making movies, lol. Even on a night when you are bored out of your mind and starved for entertainment, I suggest getting a tray of ice cubes, if you still freeze your own, and watching them melt. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Reese R This movie should be so funny with the leads but somehow it’s stale and inconsistent. It starts decent enough but meanders when it should speed up. I don’t understand how they arrive at the plot they decided to stick with but it’s just not engaging. The played out joke where women have a buff ex that intimidates the guy they married which implies that the woman settled is cringy. The jokes just stopped coming or stopped hitting while the leads are hilarious in other things. Maybe this just wasn’t the right movie for them but it’s sad to see funny people flounder when you know they are capable of much more. I’m sure people who are casually engaged and don’t want anything serious to watch would enjoy this movie and its lack of stakes, even though they tried to add stakes, but it ends up being boring trying to be comedy and action and not delivering on either front. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Luis Otavio F Good chemistry between Tina Fey and Steve Carell, it's good entertainment. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Ed R Funny and cheesy comedy. Light-hearted flick. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
