I'm a movie addict. Never a week passes without me looking for possible movies to watch, or just note movies in the past, present and future that's going to be next in my Must-See. And Date Night is on my list.
The trailer is so funny! I can totally relate to being married with kids, because it definitely would mean less or no privacy. No time to make-out or dine-out without the kiddos somewhere demanding your attention. Somewhere along the lines of being married, the excitement recedes and will continue to do so unless you do something about it.
As for us, our timeout was to date - watch movies together minus the kids. That alone restore some kind of euphoria (but one of the exciting things we do for laughs is tickle and wrestle each other, definitely good strength training).
On Date Night, the twists are good and the timing perfect. Farrell and Fey made a good job portraying the couple-wanting-excitement-back-in-their-lives-while-trying-to-live-through-an-adventurous-date-night-which-was-supposed-to-be-just-an-okay-one-that-turned-out-to-be-the-most-exciting-one-they've-ever-had-in-a-long-time (whew!).
God, it's hilarious! The bedroom scene where Claire (Fey) took off her mouth guard and Phil (Farrell) goes 'Yuck!'. That's totally clever and true! It just shows that marriage makes a couple too familiar with each other that yucky stuff such as portrayed isn't much of an embarrassment.
The scene with the kids made me smile knowing full well how painful it can be when your kids jumps right on you like you're part of the bed that it makes you wonder why you're still not black and blue.
And a scene where Phil shouted that they're going to die and Claire cried something about her mother-in-law. Hahaha!
Date Night Movie is a must-see not only because of the twist but because it is a definite tickle. And these days, we really need a good laugh.
Did I mention Mark Wahlberg in the film?
Oh well, this movie makes me laugh even when I'm writing this. I can't just stop smiling knowing full well how they aptly portrayed some of the core of married life in a very light and comical way without overacting the parts. Of course the twists are some of the things I don't want to ever get involve with, at least, never in my lifetime. I would just want to assimilate myself in the movie - on a night, on a date with hubby.
