Date Night

Posted by William Yeager | Edit Post

So this movie was pretty much what I expected. If you like Steve Carell in "The Office" and Tina Fey in "30 Rock" then you will probably like this movie. However, I think this is more a comedy for people in their late 30's. (Not that there is anything wrong with people in there 30's but this is more high brow humor.)

The Fosters are an average couple in there 40's with two kids and normal boring jobs living in New Jersey.(I didn't realize New Jersey could be so boring and normal until this movie and "Everybody Loves Raymond" I thought it was full of Snookies and Gittlemans) They are stuck in the same routine and after they learn that one of their best couple friends is getting a divorce they start to look at their own marriage. They decide to go on a special date night in New York city at an exclusive new restaurant. However, they don't have a reservation so they take someone else's. They are then mistaken for that couple who has stolen something from the mob. They are then sent on a wile goose chase all over the city to find the real couple and restore there normal lives.

If you like goofy awkward white people then you will like this movie. It's more funny if you are in a long relationship or have been in one. There is a lot of relationship humor. It has funny parts but most of them are more sophisticated. As you all know I usually like dumb gross humor but I also like high brow humor when it's done well.

This film does have a lot of good people in it and the acting is good. It does feature a cameo from an actress from one of my favorite tv shows. Leighton Meester from "Gossip Girl" is in it. The girl that plays Blair Waldorf. Ok I'm just kidding I hate that show but my sister makes me watch it, I swear.

Anyway this movie was ok. It was funny enough. I'd probably see it again but not in theaters. I give it a high C.(like my favorite juice box.)

Mission Statement

You know when a new movie comes out and everyone says its great you have to see it and then you go and find out it blows worse than having some homeless guy take a shit next to your car and then break into your car to use some clothes you left in there to wipe his ass. (Trust me it happens.) Well this blog is to make sure that this never happens to you.  I will try to give you my honest opinion and let you know whether the movie is worth seeing or not.  And if the movie really sucks I will try and give you enough ammo to make fun of it to other people who are dumb enough to like it.

Rating Scale

BK(Bee's Knees): This is primarily reserved for classics like "The Godfather" I don't see any new releases making this grade any time soon.

A: This is for a great movie that is destined for my dvd collection and would see multiple times in theaters. They have that extra something that stands out.

B: This is for movies that are better than just good but they lack that "X" factor. These are ones that you see in the store and are like oh shit I really liked this movie and I forgot about it but now I need to buy it.

C: This is for movies that are just alright. They are predictable, simple and fun to watch but you were a little disappointed when you saw them. You were like damn that movie could've been better, I'm disappointed now. However, you still might put them in your dvd collection if someone gives it to you.

D: This is for movies that just suck. They are either not what you thought they would be or you got tricked or forced into going to see. These are extremely predictable and serve little entertainment. You have no interest in seeing it again and if someone gave it to you, you would defiantly try and sell it for beer money.

SB(Sucks Balls): This category is for movies that just really suck balls. This one, like the BK category, most movies wont fall into but I still have it for movies like "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" remember that movie, man it really sucked balls.
