''DATE NIGHT" IS A DELIGHT

Well, my cinepeeps, I saw a truly hilarious film, last week and I have to recommend it highly, to one and all. As u can tell by my header, it was DATE NIGHT, directed by SHAWN LEVY, and starring that (dynamic) comedy duo, STEVE CARELL and TINA FEY.

Now, I have 2 admit, I was a little trepidacious (if it's not a word, it is now), before I saw this flick, because, the trailers made it look like pretty standard sitcom-fodder, but I have to agree with the rapturous reviews, it is hilarious.

One of the reasons it is so funny is because both of the stars are such able farceurs and improvisers. I think we can tell by the outtakes at the end, that the script was basically thrown out, all for the good of the film. FEY and CARELL, seem to make it up as they go along, and we're along with them for the ride the whole way.

The plot really doesn't matter, lets just say that there is lots of laffs, along the way, as well as some surprises and a chase sequence midway , that u need to see to be believed. At one point, I nearly fell out of my chair (which I did, near the end of CARRELL'S GET SMART.
