Date Night
One ordinary couple. One little white lie.
Phil and Claire Foster fear that their mild-mannered relationship may be falling into a stale rut. During their weekly date night, their dinner reservation leads to their being mistaken for a couple of thieves—and now a number of unsavoury characters want Phil and Claire killed.

Crazy but somehow very grounded.
The film focuses on the marriage between Carrell and Fey's characters, their growth through the film as well as their dependence on each other. They are both strong (albeit, each with many flaws) and they are stronger when they are helping each other solve their problems together.
The script is crazy at times, over the top excesses of miscommunication and bad decisions made- but the heart of the film is very much grounded in real relationships, real issues and lived experiences. As a parent, there were so many details that rang so true- whether being bombarded by the kids way too early in the morning- all the way through to the husband and wife's in-jokes and their responses to the limitations in their own marriage.
Highly recommended.
