Critic Reviews

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    Fey, in particular, seems uncomfortable with the shenanigans.

  • Dave Calhoun, Time Out

    Fey and Carell are better than this, but when the other options in the action-romcom territory include such efforts as The Bounty Hunter, who's complaining?

  • David Denby, New Yorker

    Fey, in particular, finds herself in the situation of a prima ballerina unaccountably dancing with the Rockettes.

  • David Edelstein, New York Magazine

    In three or four scenes, they get a rhythm going, but the editing is smash-and-bash. Shawn Levy is not a director who honors performers' rhythms.

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    Tina Fey is really funny. Steve Carell is really funny. Date Night stars Tina Fey and Steve Carell. Ergo, Date Night must be really ... sorry, I wish it worked that way almost as much as the studios do. But no.

    Reasonable crime caper comedy which survives simply due to it starring Steve Carell :) there isn't too much to offer here, the plot is pretty basic, the acting is standard and the small 'action' sequences are nothing special or exciting, much like 'Get Smart'… More

    There is no doubt that Tina Fey and Steve Carell belong to the funniest people in the business nowadays. To have their powers combined as a couple who stumbles into a crime story on their night out sounds promising. Sadly, the film does not entirely live up to the promise. There are… More
