Rental Review: Date Night

While having a sleep over with my 13 and 10 year old cousins we watched the Tina Fey and Steve Carrell movie, "Date Night." I had wanted to see it in the theater, but after it received terrible reviews, I decided to skip it.

After finally seeing the movie, I am thrilled I didn't waste $10 to see it in the theater. While Tina Fey and Steve Carrell are hilarious on their respective television shows, they didn't shine as a duo. Each character had 2-3 funny moments in the film, but I wasn't dying laughing.

I was shocked by the number of celebrity cameos in this film! The list includes: Mark Whalberg, James Franco, Mila Kunis, Leighton Meester, Ray Liotta, Taraji P. Henson, Common, Mark Ruffalo and Kristen Whig. Sadly, their roles were so small they couldn't help elevate the film.

Skip "Date Night" and rent seasons of "The Office" or "30 Rock" instead.
